Cool Charcoal Creations

Today, the P6-7 class taught us how to create these cool, window style, charcoal creations.

We stuck masking tape on to create our own window design, made clouds and a landscape with the charcoal and lots of smudging, then used a rubber to highlight certain areas of our picture.

Here are some of P4-5's designs...

 What do you think? They will be displayed in the school dining hall.

Rugby fun!

We have been getting some rugby sessions from Orkney's Rugby Development Officer, John Cairns.

Last week, we tried some ball handling drills and today we had our first shot of tackling. We all had loads of fun!

Jayne Venables from Orkney Island's Council came to speak to our class about recycling.

She told us all of the things you can recycle at home, and gave us a sticker for our bins to remind us. We saw videos on what happens to Orkney's recycled aluminium cans once they've been sent to England. 

There are five main household waste recycling centres in Orkney and all the rubbish collected from these goes to Chinglebraes Waste Transfer Station (it is just out of Kirkwall, on the main road that takes you to Orphir).
