Recycling news!

We are able to collect empty crisp packets and send them away to be recycled into benches and fencing! Any brand of crisps will do whether it's an individual packet or a sharing bag! Our recycled recycling bins are located in the infant entrance, the upper school entrance there is one in the nursery too!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Eco Maths work by P4 and P4/5

Maths is often used by the Eco Committee to count and measure the number of batteries/stamps/pens/paper  we recycle so i thought I would show some of the work which has been done by other classes.

P4/5 have been looking at the length of some large marine creatures as they have been learning about the impact plastic has on the inhabitants of the oceans. They were given a list of creatures and they estimated the length of each creature. Then they compared their estimations with the actual answer and measured the lengths out-they were quite amazed by the length of some!

Primary 4 worked with Miss Fraser to sort a variety of birds into two different categories. The children worked with a partner and chose the criteria then sorted the images. Here are some examples of their work!

Children chose their own sorting criteria
