Primary 1-4 Gardening (Added 2Oct25)
Following on from our very successful collaboration and help from Biggar Community Garden in the summer, our Primary 1-4 class were very busy recently tidying up the outdoor gardening areas in preparation for the coming months and harvesting some vegetables. Here’s what Quinn P2 and Cameron P2 had to say about it:
We have been very busy this week out in the garden – we have been digging in the planters and trying to find onions, potatoes, spring onions, parsley and carrots. We found a lot of weeds too! We made some soup with the vegetables that we managed to dig out – the soup was oniony and most people loved it! We picked out lots of weeds and we put those in the compost bin which is now really full! We saw lots of flies, butterflies, bumblebees and worms! Caterpillars and snails too! We had to clean to the vegetables and then we needed to cut them up and then we took turns to put them into the soup which we cooked on the hob. It was very noisy but lots of fun and it was cool to see turning the vegetables into something we could all eat.
Primary 1-5 Trip to the Science Centre (Added May25)
We were delighted to be successful in our application for a Black Mount Community microgrant which enabled our Primary 1-5 pupils to go to the Science Centre in Glasgow for the day! We had such a fantastic time – please see below for some of the accounts of the day from the children and check our Gallery page for some photographs.
On Monday the 12th May, P1-5 went to the Science Centre. I enjoyed the iMax because we got to wear these special glasses that made it pop out! I learned that dung beetles are very strong, it’s like a human pushing six, six! Double decker buses. Wow! My favourite part was all of it because it was all very very fun.

We were going to the Science Centre in Glasgow. It look a long time to get there. I enjoyed the iMax because we got to watch a 3D real film. I learned that dung beetles can push five times their weight. My favourite part was the iMax because it was extremely cool!

Primary 1 to 5 went to the Science Centre in Glasgow at 09.05 on 12th May. I enjoyed when I went on the hamster wheel. On the second floor I learned that you should not smoke too much or your lungs will turn black! I got to pump the lungs and saw how they would react. My favourite part was when we went to the iMax and watched a movie that was 3D.

We went to Glasgow Science Centre for the full day; it was so fun. I went with Primary 1-5; it was extraordinary. I went on Monday 12th May. I enjoyed playing on the hamster things. I learned not to smoke because it will make your lungs very very bad. My favourite part was the iMax because it was so interesting and cool.
