Open Day
The 5th
November is an Open Day for all City of Edinburgh Primary Schools. All
parents/carers of children who have not yet started school are invited to visit
their local catchment primary school, particularly parents with children who
will be starting school in August 2015. This is a great opportunity to find out
what your local school has to offer, see the school on a working day, and meet
the Head Teacher and other staff, as well as ask any questions about the school
and what it can offer.
There is no need
to book ahead, just join us for a tour at one of the following times:
Tours start at
09.30, 10.00, 11.15, 13.45 and 14.15.

Primary 5: So You Think We’re Talking
Rubbish?
Last week,
primary 5A, 5B and 5/6 were visited by ChangeWorks, an environmental charity,
who came to teach us more about how to manage our waste. We learnt why it is important
to reuse our organic waste by using composters. We now know that composting
also recycles nutrients, helps plants grow and encourages and feeds worms.
We created
composters using bottles, autumn leaves, grass cuttings, fruit peelings,
newspaper and cardboard scraps, tea bags and a little bit of water.
We will observe
these composters over this term to see the changes. We can’t wait to see what
happens!
We continue to encourage our pupils to line up sensibly and
quietly in the morning when the warning bell sounds. If you enter or exit
the playground through the West gate, please help us by trying not to walk
through the class lines, standing back to allow the pupils space to line up.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
Photographer
Some Class Newsletters provided a date for when the School
Photographer would visit Flora’s. As the Flu Vaccinations are now
scheduled for the same day, we have decided to postpone the Photographer until the
new year.
P7 Autumn Sports
On Monday, P7 participated in the first ever North
Neighbourhood Autumn Sports event at Broughton High School. Pupils were
spilt into groups for Boys and Girls Rugby, Basketball, Football, Fencing and
Ultimate Frisbee. Pupils learnt skills and played warm up games in the
morning and played competitively after lunch. We are very proud to
announce that our Girls Rugby group came first place on the day winning a
lovely shield for the school. Congratulations to the other teams who took part
too.
