Sand pit for the Nursery!

 

At the Stronsay nursery we are delighted to announce that we have gotten a nice big sandpit.

We have new sand and water toys to go with it too.

We would like to thank all people involved with helping it come to fruition.

Seaweed Survey (August 2021)

 

Hi all,

Last week Lower Primary spent an amazing morning at Ayre of Myers completing a seaweed survey.  If you want to find out more about this National History Museum project or indeed conduct your own survey then everything you need can be found here:

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/take-part/citizen-science/big-seaweed-search.html

The children had a wonderful morning, they impressed everyone with their existing knowledge of seaweed and we learnt a few new ones thanks to Jenny the marine biologist.  Jenny had such a lovely time with the children that she is very keen to work with the school again in the future, she just loved their curiosity and enthusiasm!

A huge thank you to all of you for helping make this happen and in particular Anne Bignall from the North Isles Landscape Partnership Scheme for organising it. 

Kindest regards,

Sarah
