Bag the bruck

Today we all headed down to the Ouse for 'Bag the Bruck'. We set off in drizzly conditions and gathered several bags of rubbish from the shore. Well done everyone from p3-7 in doing your bit in keeping our environment clean and tidy. Here are some pictures from today...

Cottascarth Bird Hide

This week, we attended the opening of the Cottascarth Bird Hide. The pupils in p5/6/7 created drawings of hen harriers with Miss Harcus last term. We all enjoyed seeing our drawings in the hide and doing a spot of bird watching too. We will all be back a visit to the hide soon!

 On route to the hide...

 We were all very proud of our artwork on display. :)

 Some of us spotted hen harriers today!

 The fantastic mural in the hide... we were set the challenge to find certain things.

 We even cut the ribbon... there were lot's of invited along to watch.

Nethybridge 2015

We all had a fantastic week in Nethybridge last week. Everyone challenged themselves and undertook all the activities - between abseiling and skiing!

Here are a few memories from the week....

World Book Day 2015

Last Thursday we all dressed up for World Book Day. Some of us dressed up as characters and some of us came to school in our pj's! We then paired up with the children in p1/2 and read out favourite stories. After break time, Miss Grieve held a World Book Day quiz, we all had excellent knowledge!!
As part of Word Book Day, we have all been writing book reviews about our literacy circle books. We then recommended our books to others.

Well done quiz teams!

Well done Firth Scorpions!

Well done to Firth Scorpions for winning the Shore Shield!
