The Diamond Jubilee Garden Party was hard because it was hard to find good deals for the decorations but in the end we found everything we needed.Once we had put all the decorations and balloons up in the playgroundlooked great and we are pretty sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

On Friday 1st. June 2012 Ormiston Primary School held a Garden Party for the pupils to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth 11. It was organised by the pupils of Primary 5/6. They worked hard and did a fantastic job. Well done Primary 5/6.

Time flies when you’re having fun! We’ve had a really busy day today, learning lots of new skills, trying some exciting activities and working as teams to get tasks done.
So far, we’ve done archery, night-line, a team challenge, climbing, abseiling, fencing and high balance.
Tomorrow, there are two more activities to do before we head home to Ormiston.
We’re all looking forward to sharing stories of our adventures with you next week.

Mrs Davies, the Music Teacher and Mrs James, class teacher for P5/6 have been teaching some rainforest songs to the class and judging by the wonderful singing they obviously enjoyed them.

Yesterday P6 visited Botanic Gardens as part of our rainforest topic. We first arrived at the Botanic Gardens and walked about the entrance hall looking at all of the different things about the rainforests. There was different smells, sounds and sights that you would experience in the rainforest. Then we went to a room where we could put our things so we didn’t have to carry them about with us.

    The first workshop we took part in was called A Trip Around the World. We went into the glass houses.  Inside the glass houses there were different climates. There was a Desert and a Rainforest. Our guide told us information about the different plants and animals that are in the glasshouse.

      When we had finished that workshop we then had lunch. The second workshop we took was called An Adventure in the Rainforest. This workshop was  where we spent most of  our time in the rainforest glasshouse. Our guide told us all about different plants like carnivorous plants. We all had great fun and learned lot’s more than we already did.
