Meldrum Primary School Blog

For our Health & Well being focus Primary 6 have been looking at healthy recipes and practising their culinary skills. This week we made potato and leek soup. We got to taste a little in class and we took the left-over home in our containers.

We worked as a team to wash and dry once the vegetables were prepared.

Our potato peelings and leek ends were taken to our school compost bin.

We had to concentrate at all times!

It was lovely to see the Primary 6 pupils who attended the Remembrance Service at Livingston Kirk Church on Sunday. After the service, delivered by Mr Smith, Calum and Megan laid a wreath on behalf of all Meldrum Primary pupils and staff. It was an emotional day.

The eco reps have been busy doing weeding and litter picking around the school. 5 bags of weeds were gathered! These were then taken to the council composting facility because our compost bins are too full at the moment to hold them all. We shouldn’t now need to do any more weeding until the Spring and Summer. Litter picking is now the responsibility of the classes, following the rota. Remember ‘Don’t drop it, put it in your pocket. Be keen, clean and ECO GREEN!’

This term P1/2 are learning about ways to keep themselves healthy. We have had a visit from Jammin Andy who taught us some moves on the dance floor to keep our bodies fit. It was great fun and the children worked well with a partner and listened carefully to instructions. Well done to Emma and Donni who had the difficult task of leading the dances, with support from Andy!

Last week we learned the correct way to wash our hands and this week we are discussing the importance of brushing our teeth. Over the next few weeks we will be finding out about healthy and not so healthy foods. We have a healthy food shop in our classroom role play area where the children can practise what they have been learning.
