Today it was wet and windy but we still went ahead with the task of building dens to raise money for Save the Children. Our children built the most fantastic dens and they all worked well together sharing ideas and having fun.

On Friday 17th June all children are going to be participating in Den Day.
We will be going out into the school grounds and building incredible dens with our classmates.
Everyone is encouraged to wear casual clothes suitable for playing outdoors in all weathers.
A donation of £1.00 per child will be collected and this will be donated to Save the Children.
We are asking for donations of blankets, sheets, cardboard boxes, ropes, pegs or anything else that could be used to create a den. Please drop items off at school before Friday 17th.
Sports Day for P1-7 is on Wednesday 8th at 1.15pm. Come along and cheer you child on.
Children can dress in their house colours.
Fraser – Green
Crathes – Yellow

Fingers crossed for a sunny day – but remember to apply sun screen to your child and encourage them to wear a hat to protect them from the sun.
Classes have been exploring the Burnie today with Country Ranger Jen as part of our Eco Day. They went pond dipping and scavenging for items to create nature pictures.

Today we were trying out the new Scootability workshops with the P3s. It is training that will encourage them to be safe and considerate when scooting to school.
If they are successful we hope to deliver training to other age groups.
Tomorrow is our Eco Day of Action which will focus on water. All of our classes will be participating in activities which help them understand more about water and its uses.
