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!

p3 are entiring a competition about electricity safety  and if you win you gets some money for your school.  We designed posters. We had to add a slogan and a picture.  We have been  learning about keeping save in our home.  

Our assembly was about animals that are endangered and about our opinions on zoos. We told our audience lots of facts about different endangered animals and asked them to guess some animals of their own. We sang songs and used lots colourful posters. I enjoyed doing it and the audience enjoyed it too.

Last Friday P5/6 had an assembly. The assembly was about animals. We looked at Endangered Species, such as Snow Leopards, Tigers, Polar Bears, Turtles and Rhinos. We gave some advice on how we could help these animals.

We had a discussion on whether Zoos are good or bad. Some of us thought they were a good thing, some thought they weren’t.

We also had animal ‘Who am I?’ quizzes and a play. The play was called The Great Escape and was about animals trying to escape from a zoo.

As usual, our head teacher gave out awards and certficates for the Curriculum for Excellence. Our class received another rocket award for all our hard work!

As part of primary 3’s healthy eating topic they have been tasting different fruits. Each week they have a fruit of the week! So far they have tasted mango, papaya, pineapple , kiwi and  blueberries.

Primary 3 have been learning lots about different food types. They now know all about carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, proteins and dairy foods. They played games on the whiteboard.

P4/3 did their bit to help combat climate change.  We sent away for a booklet from the RSPB and it was full of fun ideas to help save the planet. We had to do six out of 11 activities.  Some of the activities involved switching off lights and electrical items that were on standby, walking to school, learning about animals which are close to extinction and where we get our food from.  When we finished we were sent some cool stickers and each got a certificate.  It’s true - just one little action makes a world of difference.

. P1 and P2 are given free fresh fruit twice a week to eat at playtime. The are given a wide variety of fruit to try. The children enjoy eating it and then put the skins in the brown bin for recycling.
