Day Two
Another super busy day today.
A woodland team challenge to start, next the teams used their points earned to buy materials for the egg challenge. Only one egg made it 🙂
More activities, a survival game, adventure playground and now the ‘Cheesy Disco’!
Loads of fun had by everyone, weather was pretty awful at times but it didn’t stop us having fun.
A few more activities in the morning. We’re having lunch then heading off. We should be home at the end if the school day tomorrow (and lots of very dirty clothes coming home).

All children are settled, happy and now getting ready for bed after a very busy first day.
Activities have been great, food fabulous and the weather could have been worse (though not much!)
No wifi so no photos tonight but hopefully tomorrow.
From P5 and P6 🙂

Nursery and Primary 2 Eclipse Fun
The Nursery and p2 shared a very special occasion in the nursery garden today. The solar eclipse was in the sky over Blackridge, and even though we were covered in cloud, in the breaks we were able to view the Eclipse perfectly.
In small groups of 3 or 4 the children were taken out to the garden and using the special viewers which were very kindly provided by Mr and Mrs Gregor (thanks Hamish!) Our Specially designed welders glass protected our children’s eye from the rays of the sun, and we were able to watch the moon moving over the sun (playing hide and seek).

Planting day in the nursery
Yesterday was our official planting day for our potato growing competition.
The morning nursery used the best of the weather to plant their ‘Athlete potatoes’ in their grow bag which they have affectionately named ‘Charlie bag’. The afternoon nursery had a little but of a chillier afternoon, but we still managed to get outside and plant our ‘Rocket potatoes’ in their bag which they have named ‘Rainy bag’.
We will care for our bags for the next two months in the hope that we will get lots of potatoes that we can eat for snack. Fingers crossed.
You can help us by saying the magic spell “Grow…Grow….GROW!!!!!”
Here is a video about how easy it is to plant your own potatoes at home.
LUSH at Blackridge Primary!
To end our very successful Fairtrade Fortnight, Fiona and Taylor from LUSH Livingston came to our Assembly to tell us about their products. At the end we had the opportunity to buy some of them. The ladies did a roaring trade! It all smelled wonderful and some lucky mums will be receiving them for Mother’s Day!
