What’s going on in Primary 6 this week?

Primary 6 have been very busy in our first week back at school.

We have been finishing our newspaper reports about the Titanic.  We realised that we were writing them on the 101st anniversary of the Titanic sinking.  We are going to make them look old by using coffee and tea to stain the paper.

In maths some people were learning about improper and mixed fractions.  We like it because we do lots of different activites to help us learn.

We had an eco challenge to find out which are the tastiest apples and pears and which ones grow in Scotland.  We tasted a range of varieties and collected data about our classes favourites.  We presented our data on a graph using apple and pear designs.

P6 and P7  went down to Uphall Station Park to give it a spring clean from litter.  We think we did a great job!

Have a nice weekend!

It’s Eco Week!

This week we will be learning a lot about our school grounds and tidying up our local community!
Throughout the week every class are taking on eco challenges and there are three big events happening;
Wednesday – tree planting in the school driveway and around the BMX track with staff and students from the Oatridge campus of the Scottish Agricultural College
Thursday– National Spring Clean when we are joined by the Environmental Wardens to pick up litter in Pumpherston and Uphall Station
Friday – Orchard Day! We will be planting our new Community orchard with Fruitful Schools and a team from News International who sponsored this as a competition prize in The Scottish Sun newspaper.

New date for Orchard Day!

Great News!

We can confirm that the date for our Orchard planting with News International and Fruitful Schools will take place on Friday 19th April 2013. Please contact the school office if you are able to help. We’d like as many helpers as possible to make this a true Community Orchard! Come along and join the fun from 9.30 am.

The Big Pedal

Our school will be taking part in the 3 stages of the Big Pedal 2013. On the 28th Feb, 8th March and 20th March we will be counting the number of children, staff and parents who cycle or scoot to school.  Our results are logged with the national Big Pedal event and we will be given a place in the race! More news at assembly from the JRSOs.

Orchard day postponed

The sponsors of our Community Orchard have asked us to postpone the planting day once more. We are sorry to disappoint you with this news, and hope to bring news of a definite date very soon.  Everyone is hoping this change of date will increase our chances of warmer (and drier?) weather…
