Wibbly wobbly wall design competition


A competition to design a 'road map' for one section of our wibbly wobbly wall was held recently.
Four winning designs were chosen and Conrad has combined these into the final design. Watch out for this appearing at the wibbly wobbly wall shortly!

Trimming the willow tunnels


Pupils from Primary 7 have been busy tidying the willow tunnels in preparation for summer. Thank you Primary 7 for your hard work in helping to look after the lovely surroundings at our school.

Playground Designers

The nursery have been working on a new design for their playground this term.  They have worked together and thought about different areas with lots of plants, activities and materials.  Outdoor space that is nice and welcoming is very important, so well done and I hope the construction goes well! 

Planting in the Garden

Mr Holt has been working very hard to start re-planting Victoria's Garden.  Primary 2/1 kindly helped out with some of the planting last week, and got a chance to get their hands dirty!  Thank you to P2/1, we look forward to seeing all the plants growing.  I can't wait to be able to make the most of this fantastic outdoor space with the other classes too.

Bag the Bruck


Last Friday we were doing our part to help keep Orkney clean and tidy.  Every year there is a "Bag the Bruck" weekend where volunteers across the county head out to pick up litter and other waste from around the coastlines and countryside.  P6 & P3/2 (with the help of Mrs Aitken, Mr McIntosh and some other helpers) went to Dingieshowe beach, Deerness and managed to collect 40 bags of rubbish collected from the beach!

Well done for all your hard work, a clean beach not only benefits us but really helps all the wildlife that live around our shores too.  Keep up the Eco-Friendly work.
