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.
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.
Clear
Out Your Closet
We're
looking for donations of clothes in wearable condition, pairs of shoes,
handbags and belts for our next Rag Bag collection. All funds raised go towards
supporting Eco projects.
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.
