Eco Club
• Some of our Eco Action Targets have changed. These targets
are now green.
• Our Environmental Review poster is up for everyone to see.
• Our results are now in for the Big Bird Watch
• We have done our Litter Survey and presented results
• One of our targets is to get every class to nominate an EM
(Energy Monitor). The Eco Club did some designing and we
joined a few great ideas to create one badge.
• Every class will nominate one person to wear the badge to
remind them and others to help reduce their energy waste in
class. Wear your badge with pride and let’s not waste energy
we don’t have to.

World Book Day

This can relate to the start/part/end of your story.
Check with your class teacher for more details.
Games Parliament
The Games Parliament representatives discussed the ‘Quiet Area’ and
all the other activities that are there now. This included the stage,
dressing up clothes, chimes, drums and trees to climb.
There are also plans to add a chalk board, wooden paths across the
top of the tree stumps and hammocks between the trees.
With all this going on they felt that the ‘Quiet Area’ was not the best
name for this area.
Can you think of another name? If you have any suggestions please
put them on a post-it note along with your name and class and leave at
reception.
All entries must be in Friday 13 March. Classes will then be
asked to vote on the suggestions to choose the new name.
Games Parliament
To try and make sure everyone has enough space to play in the
morning before line up the All Weather Pitch will be open to all P5, 6
and 7’s from 8.45am to 8.55am for a trial period starting tomorrow
morning (Tuesday 3 March).
This means that the ball court will be for P1, 2, 3 and 4’s from 8.45am
until line up time.
If you have any playground games that you think lots of children would
like to play then the Games Parliament would like to hear from you.
If you have any suggestions please speak to your GP Representative or
Mr Balfour.
All suggestions will be discussed at the next Games Parliament
meeting.
