Eco Activities

Thursday was our Eco Day of Action at St Andrews Primary School.  There were lots of activities going on throughout the school (have a look on the Eco Committee's blog for more information)  but P6 got to have a go at making concrete.  We used rhubarb leaves as a pattern, and had to mix the concrete, sand and water.  Hopefully they will set and be used in Victoria's Garden as stepping stones throughout the grass.

Folk Festival Visitors

On Friday we were lucky to have visitors from Norway into school to play for us.  Their band's name was Stambordet, and they were over in Orkney to perform at the Stromness Folk Festival.   The band included a guitar, bass, banjo, fiddles, double bass and even special resonator guitars!

After the performance we were welcome to come and have a go with some of their instruments, especially the more unusual ones.  We really enjoyed playing the double bass and the resonator guitar!  What do you think, do we have a future as a folk band?
