Our Year in P5!

Here are some of our highlights from Primary 5:

“I loved Benmore because it was so much fun sleeping in the room with other girls – and we were really loud!”  Emma

“I liked going to Benmore and I liked the rock climbing and the biking (we got really muddy when we did that!).  We tried hard to stay up late and we ate loads of sweets.  Ruby had Irn-Bru and went crazy!”  Molly

“I liked sleeping at Benmore because we had tons of treats!”  Justin

“I liked the Taiko drumming because it was loud and I felt happy when I performed.”  Amy F

“I enjoyed the Taiko drumming performance because I thought our raps were really cool and I liked the songs.  I also enjoyed when we played symmetry games on the smartboard because it was good fun”  Amy C

“I liked Taiko drumming because it was loud and we performed it in a show.  I felt scared and happy because we did it after Broxburn and I thought we were on first!”  Gemma

“My favourite highlight was abseiling at Benmore because it was really fun.”  Lewis H

“I liked Taiko drumming because it was really fun and exciting.  It was kind of scary because there was a big crowd of people watching you drum and I was in the front row!  I enjoyed everything this year!”  Emilie

“I enjoyed my teacher this year.”  Stephen

“My favourite time was when we went to Benmore.  Me, Finlay, Justin and Torran were jumping from bunk bed to bunk bed.  It was fun!”  Liam

“My favourite memory is when we went gorge walking and we got to rub mud on our faces!”  Torran

“I liked when we did Mary Queen of Scots because we learned about Darnley’s murder, her husbands and her execution.”  Matthew

“My highlight was looking after our pet snails.  I’ve even been allowed to take two home!  They are called Sneaky and Stretchy!”  Harrison

“I enjoyed learning the sounds at Taiko drumming!”  Zach

“My best memory was being Rabbie Burns in our show – Och Aye the News!”  Callum

“My highlight was representing Kirkhill School at the Gala Sports.  Me &  Zach won a race!”  Dillon

“I pretty much liked everything this year!”  Blair

Thank you for all your hard work, Primary 5!  Have a great summer and good luck for Primary 6!!

Keep Scotland Beautiful

It’s Time for Summer!
Need some inspiration for outdoor fun this summer holiday? Here’s ten of our favourite things to do outdoors to get you started.
1. Visit One of Scotland’s Award Beaches
Scotland’s Beach Awards celebrate clean, well managed and sustainable beaches making sure our coastline is good for both wildlife and for us to visit. Find an Awarded Beach near you.
2. Do a 2 Minute Cleanup
Got two minutes? Take a bag and look for litter on your way to the park or walking the dog.  Pick it up and bag it, then recycle or bin it. Help us to keep Scotland beautiful! Get a cool #2MinuteCleanUp bag.
3. Visit a Green Flag Award Park
The Green Flag Award recognises the best parks and green spaces across Scotland to ensure everybody has access to quality green spaces to play in. Find a Green Flag park near you
4. Have a One Planet Picnic
A One Planet Picnic is a picnic that is good for you and good for the planet. Why not make something delicious and eat outside with friends? Register your picnic here and enter this year’s prize draw.
5. Do the Scottish Seashell Survey
The Scottish Seashell Survey is a fun way to learn about the natural world while helping to collect useful information about the creatures that live around our coasts. Next time you’re at the beach, find some seashells!
6. Make Your Voice Heard
Got something to say about environmental issues? Send us your photo, video or article and we’ll make sure you’re heard. Entries from those aged 11-21 can enter Young Reporters Scotland. Younger than 11? We still want to hear from you for our website or newsletter. Be heard.
7. Plant a Garden for Bees
Bees need our help and the easiest way to help bees is to plant flowers they like. Fill out the form and we will send a pack of pollinator-friendly flower seeds and a guide booklet your way – get some seeds.
8. Make Something Tasty
Try some tried and true recipes sent in by pupils for One Planet Picnic. There’s oatcakes from Alford PS, soups, Kirn Primary’s cress sandwiches, Lochside Primary’s raspberry meringue nests and more. Do you have a favourite recipe to share? Send it in!
9. Do an OPAL Survey
Do you know what bugs are living near you? Take part in Bugs Count and discover the incredible variety of invertebrates that make their homes around us. Find as many bugs as you can.
10. Join the Great Nurdle Hunt
Nurdles are small plastic pellets about the size of a lentil. Spills and mishandling mean they end up at sea and on our beaches. Birds and fish mistake nurdles for food. We can help end nurdle pollution by cleaning them up when we find them. Found nurdles? Let FIDRA know where.

Brilliant Buddies

Primary 1 will be very sad to say goodbye to their Primary 7 buddies as they move onto high school. They have enjoyed doing paired reading and craft activities among other things with them. On Friday they worked together to make frisbees from 2 paper plates. They were able to go outside to play with them although some ended up a bit soggy because of the puddles!

Good luck to all the Primary 7 pupils and thank you for all your help this year.

Love Primary 1
