Earth Hour Dress Brightly Day – March 28th


On Friday 28th March in Torphichen Primary we will be celebrating Earth Hour by having a dress-brightly day, where pupils can pay £1 to come to school wearing brightly coloured or sparkly clothes. The Eco Committee are hoping to use the money raised to organise the adoption of a wild animal through the WWF (World Wildlife Fund).
We will also be switching off as many electrical items in school on the same day, between 11a.m and 12midday. This is to recognise the worldwide event organised by the WWF, which officially takes place on Saturday 29th March between 8.30pm and 9.30pm. We hope you will take part in this event. If you take part at home, please take photographs of what you did and we can display these on the Eco board in school. Either bring in a printed photo or email them into school and we can print them for you here.

Once upon a time, a young boy called Steve won a helicopter ride over the plains of Africa.
The helicopter flew low to get a better look when, suddenly, a giant cat jumped on it.
The helicopter crashed to the ground and surpisingly, Steve saw a colourful dinosaur!…

Aerial Photography at Cairnpapple

P3/4/5 enjoyed a wonderful trip to Cairnapple yesterday. They were learning all about the phases of Cairnpapple, thanks to a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic archeologist called Katie. They also flew a kite with a camera attached, in order to capture images of Cairnpapple from above. The results are amazing! Thanks too to Mrs Martin-Law who helped pupils draw the amazing landscape that surrounds the site.
