Habitat for Humanity Workshop
When Habitat for Humanity came to school we had lots of fun. Firstly, we did a waste quiz which helped us find out lots of interesting facts e.g. if half the plastic in the UK was recycled, the plastic saved would stretch to the moon and back! We did an activity called ‘how long until it’s gone’ which taught us how long it took until things decomposed; a Shloer bottle takes 1-2 million years to decompose. Next we learnt a bit about their shop, ReStore, which is a home improvement store which sells bath tubs, doors, sofas, storage units and many, many more! Then we learned about the impact of plastics in our ocean and on land. We learned about The Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is so big it can be seen from space! Finally, we did an activity where we designed coasters that were made from kitchen tiles and cork. We were given loads of colours. We loved our time with Habitat for Humanity and we hope the Great Pacific Garbage Patch disappears.

The children and staff arrived to school last Friday morning in their onesies and pyjamas. It really was a sight to see and injected lots of fun into our fundraising efforts for Children In Need. In addition to wearing their pyjamas and onesies to school, the children also had the opportunity to purchase buns generously supplied by parents throughout the school. A special mention goes to one of our P7 pupils, Lucy Woolsey, who raised £91 on account of undertaking a sponsored 1 hour’s silence.
Special thanks is extended to our P6 children and staff who coordinated and organised last Friday’s events. A total of £919 was raised by Moira P.S.
Two of our P3 pupils, Elizabeth and Fern, decided to have their beautiful hair cut off to raise money for charity. The Little Princess Trust makes wigs for children who have lost their hair on account of receiving treatment for Cancer or for children who have Alopecia. The girls were inspired by one of our brave children in the Nursery Unit who previously lost her hair when receiving treatment last year. Fern had 12” cut off her hair and Elizabeth 8”.
