ECO Clean Up 18.9.19

All the Eco Reps and Rangers from P1-7 took part in a litter pick in the school grounds as part of the Renfrewshire-wide initiative.

Wullie Where's Yer Troosers?

Pupils in the whole school had the chance to put forward their design ideas for the Oor Wullie statue which will be going on display across Scotland to raise money for children's hospitals. 7 lucky children were selected to contribute to the finished design inspired by colour, fun and a Scottish theme. Recycled materials were used to decorate inluding the children's old Easter egg wrappers. Have a look at the wonderful final result!

Fire Damaged Poly Tunnel!

Following the recent fire damage to our school poly tunnel we have been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity expressed and shown by our local community through raising funds and offering support to replace the damaged tunnel.

Despite everyone being bitterly disappointed by the needless act, all at Houston Primary are inspired by the goodwill, strength of feeling and values held dear by our members of the community. Thank you to all those who contributed , your support is very much appreciated.

Soup Making

The Gardening Club learned how to make leek and potato soup using their very own fresh produce. With the help of Mrs Morrison and her team, the pupils prepared the vegetables and added them to the pot. There was enough for a tub each to take home and enjoy. Delicious!

 

Battery Recycling

The Big Battery Hunt is on! We've almost filled our first battery bin already so keep bringing in your used batteries (AA, AAA C and D) so we can make sure they are disposed of safely.

Walkers Crisp Packet Recycling

A national Walkers crisp packet recycling scheme has been launched after a public campaign against plastic waste. Houston Primary is supporting this initiative, so please send all empty Walkers crisp packets into the school. The collected packets will be sent back to TerraCycle, who will shred them into plastic pellets to be used in everyday items, like outdoor furniture and trays.
