take a look inside

In our school we have three different teams. The Garden Crew, The Energy Busters And The Lean Mean Litter Fighting Machine.

The Garden Crew collect small brown compost bins every day then empty them into big green compost bin in the wildlife garden. The Garden Crew also water all the plants. We now have a green house in the court-yard which every class planted seeds in a tray.

The Energy Busters recycle paper, cans and bottles. One day a week The Energy Busterscollect the paper bins and the plastic cans and bottles. In the hall we have a blue bin where we put the cans and bottles in. Mr Goodsir (the janitor) collects these and puts them in the big blue container outside where the binmen come and collect it every two weeks. The Energy Busters would have done it but they will be too heavy to carry because we recycle lots. Every week the paper bins are collected by The Energy Busters and put in to a white bag outside Mr Goodsir’s office and he takes them to the blue container because they are too heavy for The Energy Busters to carry.

The Lean Mean Litter Fighting Machinepicks up litter in the playground but we don’t drop it, the litter is from the street because the wind blows it in. Sometimes we find broken glass bottles and they definetely aren’t ours.

That is our three Eco Teams!

P6s went orientering at callendor park. There were three courses.  My faivirout was the one around the lake. It was  on the 13th May 2008.  Lots of schools went we had our lunch and went home.

P6s went orientering at Callendar Park. The park was split up into sections and each bit had diffrent courses to do. One was round the lake and the other past callender house, anotheer one infront of it and another one behind it. Plus one up in the woods. My favourite course was the one around the lake. There was a little path next to it that was in the trees on the lekt of the lake if you look at it from  the boat platform. We were timed. Scott and Charlie was the quickest. It was on the 13th which was my birthday. We had our lunch on a hill and after that, we got to roll down it. it was fun.

We have lots more photos here!

On Tuesday 29th April P4/3 went on a school trip to Edinburgh Castle.  We saw loads of things that we have been learning all about in our class.  We saw the moat, portcullis, drawbridge and cannons!  The whole class got dressed up.  The boys were dressed up as knights and the girls were ladys and servents.  We saw a table that was set for a medieval meal with all the food they ate back then.  We got to hold and wear some of the weapons and helmets!  I had such a fun time!  Kelsey

P4/3 went to Edinburgh Castle on Tuesday 29^th of April. Craig took us round the castle and we saw lots of stuff! It was amazing.  Mons Meg was huge and Cameron tried to pick up one of the cannon balls! The rocks on the side of the castle were grey and heavy.  One of my favourite parts was when we got dressed up in the fancy clothes. They were made from ribbons, silk and lots of other fancy stuff.  My other favourite thing was when the one o’clock gun went off.  It was loud! I jumped! It was amazing and so was every thing else!  By Meighan
