Primary 2

We went into the woodland beside our school to collect leaves, twigs and small stones to make a picture using natural resources found in our local environment.

P2 were very disappointed at the amount of dog mess left in a place they use for learning.  They would like everyone to remember to pick up after their pets.

We also checked the orchard for Mrs Hull to make sure there was no litter.

Orchard report 21 Aug. 13

The orchard is looking great, although there are no apples yet.  One tree has been damaged over the summer, it looks like rabbits have been there. The grass has grown longer in the holidays with lots of clover. Primary 7 found a couple of 4 leafed clovers when we were litter picking.                                                   Holly and Amy Primary 7.

What a Tree-mendous Day

Friday saw the planting of our long awaited orchard, and what a lovely day it was.  The sun was shining and everything went according to plan.  We now have trees for eating apples, cooking apples, pears and plums.  Each class got to visit during the planting and were able to taste some of the types of apples that we will be growing.

Which ones will we be growing?
This is tree-mendous hard work

 

Standing in the orchard area reminded us of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful school in such a scenic area.  We have so many learning opportunities right on our doorstep and we are planning on making the very best of what we have over the coming months and years.
