You may have wondered why we've collected a few pallets around the front of school over the past number of months...and here is the reason why. Our P3s have been studying mini-beasts and in order to keep them happy have built 'The Snug Bug Hotel.' The children used various items and debris to fill the pallets to encourage the mini-beasts to come and stay.

The Gardening Club sprung into action this week and replanted the Foundation Stage Garden with new alpines. Many hands certainly did make light work of the job and we’re now looking forward to watching the alpines settle into their new bed and hopefully begin to flower!
Thank you and well done! Mr McCambley will be very pleased as he’ll have a much nicer view outside his office window.

Today in assembly we presented our Eco Code competition winner with her prize (supplied by SUSTRANS). Numerous pupils throughout the school entered the 'design a new Eco Code' competition and recently the School Eco Council met to pick their 'top five' entries. These five were then looked at by some members of the school's SLT and a winner was chosen. The winning Eco Code is now displayed in every classroom and on our main Eco Board.
Thank you to all who participated in this competition.

Thank you to all those pupils who handed in an entry. They all were of a superb standard.

We decided to take a different approach to Anti-Bullying Week this year and instead called it 'Pro-friendship Week' looking at all the qualities that make good friends. Every class from P2 - P7 took part in a poster design competition. The task was to create a 'Pro - friendship' Poster which can be displayed around the school.
There were some fantastic entries. The winners from each class won a prize which they received in assembly.
