Today, the children working at Early Level maths had a challenge to help a struggling sports centre manager. He needed some new healthy posters, a graph to work out which sports were most popular and new tiles for the floor. The children had to find the correct money for a snack in the cafe and work out how many children could go on the playground equipment.

All classes in the school will be involved in projects in and around the school during the last two weeks of the Easter term. Look out for the P6 and 7 pupils who will be helping to clean paths, wash dishes, hoover carpets, empty dustbins and walk dogs just to name a few of the jobs being asked of them by residents of Ormiston.
The Pupil Councillors have been busy investigating how our school is doing with regard to the Health and Wellbeing of our pupils.
The Councillors have been busy interviewing children as to how Safe, Respected and Responsible they feel within the school.
The Councillors have also been investigating what the children feel about how Ormiston Primary tries to encourage the children to keep healthy.
They have collected lots of comments from people and these are on display outside the P4 classroom.
Primary 3 enjoyed a great Drama lesson from visiting Arts Specialist Shiona Davidson. The class very quickly ‘became’ Giants and soon learned some very important skills. They got the message about how to help the Giant overcome his problem.

Tranent Rotary kindly gave us lots of crocuses to plant. This was to highlight their campaign to aim to eradicate Polio in developing countries. Once a child is immunised their pinkie is dipped in purple dye.
We planted our crocus bulbs in a heart shape and they are now beginning to come through!
