Litter Survey and Litter Pick

 P5/6 carries out a litter pick and survey this week.  They were pretty annoyed to go out at playtime and discover that more litter had been dropped just after they had worked so hard to clear the playground.  So they have taken action and will be sharing it with the rest of the school at assembly!












Spooky woods!

 If you down to the woods you may just see some newly made Halloween decorations! P6 and P7 have been busy!

P7 Global Citizens!

 P7 has been busy building bird and bat boxes after sourcing kits from a local supplier. They have worked in teams to assemble the boxes and used a cordless power drill to put the screws in as well as using screwdrivers. Here are some of their finished birdboxes!

P5/6 canal design work!








 P5/6 went for a walk and collected a beautiful collection of autumn leaves-stunning colours and interesting shapes gathered as they went along the route.  

The swans and the cygnets came and nibbles some food in front of us and a few more brambles were

P7 treasure hunts

 P7 went out and mapped our woodland and grassy pitch and then used their maps to pinpoint where they’d hidden “treasure”!

Here are some of the young cartographers at work:

Mapping our area

 P5/6 and P7 had a go at map making using observation skills and deciding what features were permanent to the location.

They began by mapping the area around the bridge by the canal. P5/6 and P7 then tried making plans of their classrooms.  Next:a map of an outdoor site! 






Canal Dipping

As part of their RSPB Wild Challenge award, P5/6, P6 and P7 went to the Forth and Clyde canal and selected a safe spot to see if they could discover what thrives under the surface!

The swans were quite interested and visited two out of the three classes.  

P4 came with Mrs Stevely and had a go too!
