We made the guy for this years bonfire.

P4-6 also made the soup and baked tatties using their produce from the community garden. The money received from donations for the food will be used to buy more things for the garden next year.

Halloween at Rousay Primary School.

We all dressed up and carved pumpkins. We used one of our pumpkins for an experiment on reversible and irreversible changes in materials. We made the pumpkin sick with vinegar, washing up liquid and bicarbonate of soda! Definitely an irreversible change!
