Whilst we
have been away our raised beds have been producing delicious fruits and
vegetables. The Gardening Club resumed on the first week of term and harvested a
wide variety of produce, some of which they have given to Lorna our school cook
and some to take home to taste and enjoy for themselves. The cabbages this year
are enormous and the garden peas are crunchy and sweet. Mrs Murray also received
a beautiful bunch of freshly picked Jubilee roses for her office.
Keep
Houston Healthy
Houston
Primary School is a health promoting school and we continue to participate in
the daily mile, and positively encourage as many children as possible to walk,
cycle or scoot to school.
Keep
Houston Tidy
Each week
a year group is responsible for weeding, recycling and litter picking within our
school grounds. This ensures that our environment remains a pleasant one. We are
supported and very much appreciate the work of the Community Council and senior
pupils from Gryffe High School who are also helping to keep Houston tidy. Whilst
out and about as part of our Forest Schools initiative the staff, parents and
pupils were shocked by the amount of litter and household waste that had been
dumped in and around forested areas of Houston. The pupils were pro-active and
filled sixteen bin bags filled with litter. The Primary 4 pupils have also made
posters which are on display in and around Houston village.
