Welcome Rev. Noonan
At Assembly, the new minister from Houston and Kilellan
Kirk, Mr. Gary Noonan joined us to celebrate Harvest. A superb variety of
freshly harvested items and food donations were brought in by pupils for those
less fortunate in our local area. Many thanks to all the families who kindly
donated. The food items will be delivered to Renfrewshire Foodbank.
The Gardening Club also presented their freshly harvested
fruit and vegetables and shared their gardening knowledge with pupils from
Primary 4-7. The leeks they had grown were particularly impressive. A number of
the adult volunteers who support the Gardening Club also attended and were
treated to a lovely cuppa and cake as a token of our thanks. We really
appreciate the skills they share with our pupils and the time they willingly
give to support our club. A special thanks to ‘Gardening Granny’ Mrs Morrison.
Woodland Fun
Primary 2/3 have been learning about Woodland creatures
and requested to go on an outdoor adventure to find out more. As it was a bit
chilly, the Primary 3 children also learned how to make fire using a flint and
steel. With the campfire successfully lit the children even managed to toast
marshmallows. Yummy!
Eco News
The Gardening Club enjoyed a trip out to Mr McKelvie’s
beautiful garden in the village. They were really impressed with the variety of
cacti he had growing. We thank him for his kind invitation.
The poly tunnel has been a wonderful addition to our
school garden and all the fruit and vegetables have now been harvested. The
tomatoes and corgettes were particularly successful this year.
