Pupils from P5 and P7 led an event today to share Scratch with other pupils in the school and with parents.
This was part of an international Scratch Day with 234 Scratch Day events planned in 53 countries, including Argentina, Nigeria, and Vietnam and of course Ormiston Primary School. http://day.scratch.mit.edu/. Our event was one of two in Scotland, and we shared it on the Scratch site here.
Mrs Ross and P5 will be uploading some of their learning and sharing their successes this term. Check out the blog over the next couple of weeks for updates.
Here are a handful of the photos we took at camp last week. It was so much fun, lots of us wanted to stay for longer!

7.20am We’re all just starting to get up and ready for our first full day at camp.
Yesterday, once we’d made our beds, we had a tour around Dukeshouse. “Cool, awesome,” and, “brilliant,” were some of the words used to describe the activities we saw.
After dinner we all went into the sports hall to do indoor climbing and everyone had a go, then we did a fire drill before our next activity – Scrapheap Challenge.
We were all so excited, it took us a while to get to sleep but the girls are raring to go this morning.
Thursday night – it’s been non stop all day. We split into two groups and have done loads of activities today.
Nightline, archery, team challenge, 3G swing, zip-wire, environmental art and camp fire. We’ve got so much to rell you all when we get back to Ormiston.
See you tomorrow.

Last year’s eco team thought of building a greenhouse. The eco team wanted to use a eco friendly way to make it. We needed 2400 2 litre plastic bottles to make the greenhouse. We asked Ormiston Grows to help us build it. We are very pleased that the green house is finished and look forward to growing lots of vegetables. The eco team would just like to say a very big thankyou to everybody that helped us to collect the bottles.

Primary 5/6 organized a Diamond Jubilee Garden Party. Our group was in charge of the invitations. We had to make sure that the invitations got to the right teachers and classes in the school. We also had to take the tables out and decorate them. We also served the strawberries and ice cream.
Our job was to go to the co-op and transport the food to the school.We also had to cut all the strawberries in half and dish them into bowls.We had a helping hand from Mrs.Adams, Maggie and Elaine.
So we would like to say thank you for all your help .
Yours Sincerely
Lia,Thea,Zoe,Logan and Morgan .A.K.A The food group.

On the 1st of June 2012, Ormiston Primary School celebrated the Diamond Jubilee by having a garden party. Primary 5/6 got split into groups to help plan the party. The groups were: Music and games, decorations, tables, invitations and food. Our group was the music and games group. We made a CD with all the songs that everyone likes, and everyone loved it. We played some games including: pin the crown on the queen and prince, prince, queen(like duck duck goose).The party was really good and everyone loved the music and they were all up dancing!
