Summertime

Good afternoon all ,

we are certainly making the most of the glorious summer weather at Craigton . All the children have been involved in activities outdoors this week  - we've had water play and bubbles and painting and stories , den building and roleplay , climbing and running , quiet time and sleeping ,  mud pies and picnics and all kinds of everything! There was also some harvesting of strawberries but sadly none of these made it home!
Joanne from Gardening4Kids came this afternoon , and under her direction , the children have  been weeding , mulching and feeding the Craigton orchard which is coming along very well indeed - we've also added some solar lighting there, but you'll need to wait til the autumn to see these in action!
After that , they planted the lettuces that have been grown from seed in the growing area(enriched with our homemade compost) and very enthusiastically watered all the plants (and everything else in sight!) Its been a fun in the sun week at Craigton !

Those of you who have children starting P1 after the summer , will have had a letter from Donna regarding the city school summer bags project . We have now been informed that Cutler school is not participating in this initiative - that will be why some of you have not received these - sorry for any confusion!

Another gentle reminder to return your PS funding applications and sunflowers class photos or payment  as soon as you can please - thank you .

Hope that you all have a lovely weekend - I can smell the BBQ's already :-) dont forget your sunscreen!
