Today is a very special day for our P7 pupils, and to mark this occasion, we planted a plum tree in our school grounds. Next to the tree is a QR code, time capsule. Please take time to have a look at it, as it contains their memories of 2022-23.
We wish all of our P7 pupils every success at secondary.
Thank you to all those who brought in used batteries for our Recycle to Read Book initiative. We collected 68kg and earned £50 to spend on books from Harper Collins.
The Gardening Club members enjoyed showing round their parents and a few guests from the community; Bee Happy group members and Mr & Mrs Crawford.
It was a busy day, as well as showing everyone round the various parts of the
garden, the children thinned the radish, planted more leeks, lifted lettuce,
watered all plants in poly tunnel, picked strawberries and a very few raspberries,
tied up sunflowers and planted marigolds at front entrance.
First harvest is always exciting. Phew!
On Thursday we were very busy despite the heat. As well as lifting, washing, drying and weighing the potatoes, there was a lot of watering done. We finished planting out the leeks and beetroot seedlings and some runner beans; and we weeded a couple of beds too!
Just a wee update on the competition potatoes. This year there is only one prize for the heaviest weight, UK wide.
Our best this year was 1676g (Shannon) and 793 (Casablanca). So we are well up on our previous best by around 1150g.
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved our 8th Green Flag. This is a tremendous commitment and achievement for all of our pupils and staff. We have such ‘green’ fingers!
