Some of the pupils from P4/5 were busy this afternoon planting seeds in the welly boots planters. These seeds should hopefully flower in June so watch this space!
If anyone is at a loose end over the Easter holidays and would like to help with our gardening, we need some volunteers to turn over the 3 raised beds within the garden. This would allow us to start planting when we return from the Easter holidays. Please get in touch ASAP if you are able to help us.
The pupils in P1/2 made use of the dry weather yesterday and practised their common word spelling outside. They had to write their words twice, using 2 different colours of chalk. Then they had to read their words to a friend, Mrs Brodie or Mrs Johnston.
The monies have all been counted from the sponsored onesie walk and cake sale and we are extremely proud to announce that £730.55 was raised by the pupils in our school.
This money will be sent to UNICEF where they will use it to provide emergency shelters and classroom in a box materials for children living in areas affected by a natural disaster, war or conflict.
Thank you to all of you who put an entry into the family challenge: to design a house that would be wind (hurricane), water (tsunami) and shake (earthquake) proof.
The Rights Committee met this morning and tested the houses. First they grouped the entries by the main material they were made from. Then they split into pairs where they tested the houses against the elements. Jenna and Silvana were shaking the houses, with much vigor!! Alfie and Euan were trying to blow the houses off the table with the hairdryer! And Lilly and Hanna were pouring the water using a tea pot borrowed from P1/2!
Unfortunately there were some houses that did not survive, mainly the shake test! The entries that did survive are going to be judged by the class teachers at lunch time to decide upon a winner for each material catergory: wood, lego, cardboard and other. The winning houses will be announced after our Easter Service tomorrow in the Community Centre. So watch this space!
