Saving Energy! As part of our campaign to become more 'green' in our thinking, we have been discussing ways in which we can save power in our school. The P7's did a study of what electrical items we use throughout the day and suggested to us the ways in which we could 'cut back' We now turn off lights and other appliances when not in use such as Smart Boards and computers etc.
Tweak My Beak! A pupil made us these wonderful light switch coverings to remind us to turn off the classroom lights during break times.
We started off our New Year like the rest of the country with lots of snow. Click on the link to see some snowy pictures of our school.

Cool Seas Visit Ever had a whale in your school? Or a dolphin or amazingly enough a great white shark?? Well we did last week! And better still they were all life size! Thankfully though they were made out of inflatable plastic and none of the pupils came to any harm!
It was really interesting to see the size and scale of the animals and learn more about them! The pupils all discovered that a coconut is infact more dangerous than a great white shark and they also learnt about how throwing away rubbish can harm our beautiful sea creatures.
Seeing Light Show We
were also very lucky to have visitors from St Andrews University last
week as part of the Science Festival here in Orkney. They came to
introduce us to their SEEING LIGHT SHOW which was really interesting The pupils all got the chance to join in with group work and have fun with some of the items that they brought in to show us. Older posts and news
Handwashing
The School Nurse Mrs Anderson teaches the pupils about the importance of washing our hands after goingto the toilet and before meals! Children in Need Well
done to the pupils of St Andrews as they have just raised a total
of £444 for Children in Need! The
Primary 4/3 class held a day of fun and games for the whole school
and everyone came to school in fancy dress. During lunchtime the P5/4's
held a karaoke competition. There was a sale's table at break time
selling everything from second hand toys to fudge and handmade cards
and Jess Butler came into school to paint the children's faces. Having
fun while raising money!! What a brilliant idea! Well done to everyone
who made the day a fantastic sucess! Drumming with the Kakatsitsi drummers from Ghana
We were all treated to a wonderful concert by the Kakatsitsi drummers recently. Pupils, staff and parents were invited to listen to their unique style of drumming and dancing. Afterwards they very kindly ran workshops for the pupils and staff and everyone agreed what an enjoyable experience it had been!
