This week 5A and 5B have been learning about renewable and non-renewable energy sources. They have been developing a better understanding that renewable energy sources can reduce the effects of climate change. Their final task was to design a wind turbine, with their shoulder partner, using a skewer stick, blu tak and card paper. 

COP 26 - Primary 4

Primary 4 researched the impact of climate change in different countries around the world. They used the information they had learned to create posters. They also wrote their own climate change pledge sharing what they were going to do to stop climate change.

Men's Shed Upcycling

Mrs McPherson delivered the old wooden Nursery shelves to the Men’s Shed to be upcycled.

They are going to sand them down and then varnish them. We look forward to having them back, looking as good as new. Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers at the Men’s Shed for agreeing to do this for us.
