Primary 5 are so excited about our new playground. We have been taking daily pictures of the progress and we think you’ll agree that it’s taking shape nicely. All we need now is some sunshine……
On the Farm
P2/1 recently visited Mill Farm to meet all the new Spring arrivals. We are able to confidently use the names of adult animals and their babies. We used our sound system to recount what we saw on the trip and wrote a short report. We have also created a Farm Shop in the Play Room and enjoy selling the produce during stuctured play on a Thursday afternoon. Our next step is to talk about the life cycle of the animals we saw at Mill Farm.

Fundraising for Five Sisters Zoo
FUNDRAISING FOR FIVE SISTERS ZOO
Pupils at Murrayfield Primary School felt devastated by the fire at the Five Sisters Zoo last weekend in which 48 species of animals died.
We have decided to hold an animal themed dress down day on Friday 3rd May 2013. We would love it if you came dressed as an animal or a Zoo Keeper and brought a £1 donation for us to send to the Five Sisters Zoo to help repair the Five Sisters Zoo.
In addition we will be doing lots of other fundraising thing to do, for example:
- guess the teddy bear’s birthday 10p
- guess where the teddy is from 50p
- guess the teddy bear’s name 50p
- tombola
- paw prints face/hand painting
- teddy bear hunt
We will be very grateful if anyone could help us by donating prizes for our tombola. Thank you for your support.
