Harvest Assembly
This morning we had our annual harvest assembly. We were joined by our special guest, Mr Povey, who told us a story about the true meaning of harvest time.
P5 were excellent, telling the whole school and our parents/carers all about when and why we celebrate at this time. Club Wild also presented and shared their learning with us and had lots of fresh vegetables to sell.
A huge thank you to all of our pupils, parents and carers for donating so generously to our West Lothian Food Bank collection. We hope to continue supporting this very worthy charity throughout the year.
Repost: Harvest

Harvest in Our Nursery
Primary 1 Harvesting vegetables
Harvesting at Nursery
We have been harvesting our vegetables from the nursery garden over the last 2 weeks. We have used our carrots, tomatoes,  squash and onions to make healthy pizzas and we ate them for snack. Some of us made our own pizzas at the craft table and we put them on the wall. They look just like real pizzas!!
We have shown an interest in minibeasts and in the garden we found some worms, snails, earwigs,  woodlouse and a spider. We have drawn lots of pictures of the minibeasts for our display.
We also had a visit from our parents when we showed them all the things we enjoy doing in the nursery at our first Pop In And Play session.
Learning about Harvest
Primary 1 have been learning about autumn time and harvest. Today we were talking and learning about Harvest in particular. We watched a power point and discussed how vegetables and fruit are harvested – from under the ground, above the ground and from trees/plants. Afterwards we unwrapped a range of vegetables and had the opportunity to use our senses to investigate. Tomorrow we will be able to look even closer at our vegetables using magnifying glasses and peeling the layers off to explore inside.
Rookie Rockstars!
As you will be aware, Rookie Rockstars will be coming to work with our children during the week beginning 30th April. They will be working towards helping the children to record their own CD. Our pupils will also be given the opportunity to perform in a concert on the evening of 10th May. Rookie Rockstars have sent this letter with further information about the programme. Tickets for the concert will be on sale very soon. We hope you will be able to come along and support this event!
