P3/4 managed to get out in the small garden last week to plant 2 varieties of potato. With a little love and attention we’re hoping to harvest a bumper crop just before the summer holidays! Watch this space for updates!

Community Action Blackburn Conference 2014
This years Conference was held at Blackburn Primary School and was a great success. Our performance was super and we enjoyed watching the input from all schools in our local community.
Wear your Trainers to school!
In an effort to raise money for our Lent Charities 2014 we are going to allow classes to wear their trainers to school on Friday 28th March if they bring in a £1 for charity. We will be organising sporting events for our classes that morning including a chance to design your own Commonwealth Games 2014 trainer! Get thinking about what yours could look like!
All classes also have a SCIAF ‘Wee Box” on their altar area to try to collect some spare change to help families in Colombia who have lost their land and are trying to create fish farms in order to feed their children this LENT 2014.
P1/2 made up a song about space (Ellie). It helps us to remember the right order of the planets in our solar system (Chloe). We picked instruments to match the sound we thought goes with each planet (Robbie).
Look at our spelling activities in P5/6 this week…
Climate Swap Table
To celebrate Climate Week P5/6 organised a swap table so all pupils in our school community could have a Spring Clean and recycle their unwanted clothes toys books and films. Mrs Nicol kindly designed badges so we could tell everyone at home we how we are trying to reuse our precious resources and look after the planet we live in.
In P5/6 this week….
The Stars Group for spelling had loads of fun spelling their keywords with shaving foam!
Fiona said it was exciting and Shaun said it was amazing and Euan said he really enjoyed it and wondered if we should do the activity outside next time as there would be less mess!
P6/7’s week
This week we had a visit from a lady representing the SSPCA. She told us about cruelty towards animals and the different ways we can keep them safe. If you ever see an animal in danger, please call their help line.
I enjoyed looking at the different tools that are used.
Chloe
We saw films highlighting cruelty towards animals and we had to decide how to save them.
Ola
We are well into our new space topic and had a very interesting discussion about why we didn’t fall off the Earth and if we were able to stand on a cloud!
Over the next few weeks we will be writing to NASA and learning about Neil Armstrong.
We went to Church to mark the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. We are collecting spare change in our wee box in the classroom.
Tomorrow, the P7’s are visiting St Kent’s for the Numeracy day. We must wear shirt and tie.
Just a reminder that the P7 camp meeting is next Monday, 17th, at 6pm.
