We’ve been completing our team challenges this morning and managed to buy supplies to launch our rockets!

A great first night with no tears or homesickness. Most asleep around 10, all by 11. 

A few free time games before breakfast.

Weather looking decent if somewhat cold.

Activities starting shortly! 

The afternoon activities are underway. Anyone recognise the climber on the ‘pizza box’! Brave 👏🏻

P5 and P6 have all arrived safely at Lendrick Muir where the sun is shining! We’ll try to post some photos if the WiFi allows.

See you all on Wednesday!

Good morning Primary 4.

As it is Fairtrade Fortnight, choose one (or more!) of these challenges today.

1. Design a T-shirt advertising FAIRTRADE.
2. Create a recipe that includes FAIRTRADE ingredients.
3. Research and write 10 Top Facts about FAIRTRADE foods. (Use the internet and the Fairtrade leaflet you took home to help you.)

I hope you all have a great weekend and make the most of the snow before it melts!

Morning Blackridge Primary School!

I hope that you are enjoying your snow day 😊

Since we have three Fairtrade footballs to give away next Friday as part of our raffle, I thought you could watch this Fairtrade clip about how footballs are made!

Enjoy!

Hi Primary 7

Hope you are all enjoying your ‘Snow Days’! Here are a couple of ideas for you today!

Make Fairtrade cookies – Mrs Gallagher gave you the recipe, if you can’t remember or don’t have it – make Fairtrade crispy cakes!

After that plese visit this webpage

Fairtrade: a World of Di!erence

https://teachers.theguardian.com/system/files/assets/289/5464/KS2_PSHE.pdf

Read the stories and then compile a small report or powerpoint why we should support Fairtrade around the world.

See you all on Monday

Ms D

Find out which fruits and vegetables in your home are grown in Britain and which are grown in other countries in the world. You can look at the label, ask someone or use a computer. Make a table showing foods grown in Britain and foods grown abroad.

Can you find find any of the countries from your table on a map of the world?

Do you have any foods at home showing a Fairtrade label? Make a list.

Hello P2,

I hope you’re still enjoying your snowy days off! Here is a little fair trade activity that you could do today:

Try to draw out a meal: on a piece of paper or paper plate: using only fair trade products. You could have a fair trade breakfast using fair trade coffee and bananas. Use your imagination to create a breakfast, lunch or dinner, extra points if you manage to draw the fair trade logo. I can’t wait to see them!

Have fun guys!
