Bee Happy
Marion Greig from Bee Happy joined us for Assembly to share all the interesting work that the Bee Happy group get up to in our village. The pupils learned about the importance of encouraging bees to our gardens and green spaces, as well as a number of interesting facts.
· Bees have 5 eyes and 6 legs.
· Honey bees harvest nectar and pollen from flowering plants.
· Male bees in the hive are called drones and they do not have a stinger.
· Honey bees live in large groups called colonies.
· An average beehive can hold around 50,000 bees.
Underpass Partnership
The Primary 7 pupils from Houston Primary School and St. Fillan's Primary are working in partnership to design and paint the underpasses in Houston. This was done a number of years ago, but sadly the vandals have spoiled the previous artwork. This project will cheer the underpasses up, while the pupils get to know each other in preparation for secondary.
