Ferryhill Primary is taking part in the Big Battery Hunt. We now have a large battery recycling container in our school, so please encourage your children to recycle their old batteries. We are only recycling AAA, AA, C & D batteries.
We have recently sent home small battery recycling boxes with your child, please fill these up and return them to the school when they are full.
It takes 100 years for a battery to decompose! Help us to make a real difference to our planet by recycling batteries!
Tickets are still on sale for our Family Ceilidh and will be available on Monday and Tuesday next week.
This week, 27th November to 4th December, is Scottish Book Week.
All the children in Primary One, Two and Three will be bringing home a book bag as part of the Book Bug/Read, Write Count initiatives. Mrs Harvey has kindly been into school to share her story telling talent with the pupils and inspire them to look at and talk about the books they will be receiving. In the bags there are lots of ideas of activities to do and games to play you will also find information on the Scottish Book Trust Website
