Primary 1/2/3 and Nursery have been learning about fruits that grow in Africa as part of their topic work. Today we made an African fruit salad and read the story Handa’s Surprise. We tasted mango, passion fruit, pineapple, banana, oranges and avocado. It was yummy!
P1/2/3 have made an African House in our role play area. We have lots fun in there!

Healthy Eating In Our Dining Hall by Mrs Baillie April 25, 2008
Posted by Saltoun Office in : Health, Uncategorized , add a commentI would just like to say thank you to all the children for eating so well in the dining hall. Most of our children have managed to reach 25 stickers and those that have not are nearly there. We have some children who have reached 50, 75 and just recently Katie Belton managed a whole 100. Well done to her. Katie’s reward is to be first in the queue at lunch time for a week.
Not only do the children receive points for each piece of fruit, portion of veg, and portion of soup, points are also awarded for exceptional good manners or helpfulness and for tucking in their chair.
To all the children of Saltoun Primary School I would just like to say well done for trying so hard and thank you for behaving so well - you are all a credit to Saltoun Primary School.
Our Healthy Project April 17, 2008
Posted by Laura Leslie in : Health, P4/5/6/7 , add a commentOn the 14th April primary 4/5/6/7 found out that they were each going to be working on projects linked to Healthy Living. Each pupil is to choose something to do with healthy living e.g. sleep etc. and research why it is important. At the end of term everyone will give a talk about their research project to the class. This week we made front covers for the project jotters using coloured card and felt tip pens.
P1/2/3 new topic April 10, 2008
Posted by Laura Leslie in : Health, P1/2/3 , add a commentOur topic this term is Living Things. We have started learning about the different parts of the plant. We went into the school garden to collect some flowers. We looked at them under magnifying glasses. We made a large collage flower and labelled the different parts. We also put red dye into the water in a vase of flowers. The dye has turned the flower red. This proves that the stem carries water to the petals. It was interesting watching it slowly change colour.
We have also planted some seed with Mrs Leslie. They are oregano, pepper, basil, sweetcorn and tomatoes. After they have grown we will use them to make a healthy pizza topping.

All schools in East Lothian were invited to take part in a poster competition for anti-smoking. Emma Totney won first prize in the P7 category for designing a poster promoting a smoking free environment. She received a £20 book token from Councillor Peter MacKenzie at a recent Education Committee meeting in John Muir House. What a star Emma is!

Primary 7 are setting up a high energy movement to music class. It is an enterprise project that will be managed and organised by the pupils themselves with the support of Mrs Malcolm. It is after school on Tuesdays. Pupils have sent home an information letter with attached permission slip. Please return the slip to school by Friday 2nd November. Places are limited therefore it will be allocated on a first return basis.
