Eco Assembly 16th February 2018

The whole school gathered on Friday afternoon to share with each other what they had been learning about. It was a very interesting afternoon of singing, acting, showing and talking.

Thankfully the planet looks as if it will be in excellent hands in the years to some as our young people talked passionately and knowledgeably about biodiversity, waste minimisation, litter and the impact that each has on our planet.

Here is a small sample of their work from the Eco fortnight...

A very handy desk tidy by Kyle made from reused products!

Marks' plant pot holder-isn't it beautiful!

Primary 1 learned about the importance of recycling and shared photos of their learning through play with us.

P2 brought their samples along to the assembly.

P2 wrote to the school voicing concern about the damage that litter can do to the environment.

Litter posters were shown!

Food chain illustrations.

These young p2/3 designers made new products from existing goods. What a talented bunch!

P5 rose to the challenge of making something new from an item which would normally be thrown out-how innovative!

Bicycle helmet hanging baskets; lollipop stick bird houses; t-shirt cushions, cardboard desk tidy; coffee tin money box; plastic bottle money box and a bedsheet transformed into a cushion!

P6/7J collected rather alarming data about the litter in the streets around our school.

The local park was tidied up and the results were shocking!

P6/7J weighed each bag of rubbish gathered.

They found over 1 piece of litter per metre walked on their litter pick!

A colourfully crafted birdhouse fit for our feather friends!

A new use for this packaging- a toy storage system!

Making old t-shirts look like new with a vibrant design!

Jana made this delightful desk tidy and gave it to Miss Guthrie (who will take the hint and try and  keep her desk tidier!)

Mrs Dalrymple supervised the building and filling of our brand new bug house!
