Thank you to everyone who helped make Hillwood’s Christmas Fair a huge success. It was fantastic to welcome members of the community through our doors to enjoy home bakes, face painting, tombola, children’s crafts and much more. The event has already raised an incredible amount of money which will fund a trip to the panto for the whole school!
Take a look at all these outdoor learning ideas – most of them don’t cost any money too! Ideas for weekends and holidays. 50 ways to experience outdoors
We had a special visitor in school this afternoon and we raised over £80 selling Pudsey cakes, key rings and wristbands. More excitement to look forward to on Friday!!
P5/6/7 were given the opportunity to make their mark on Edinburgh Airport! We took part in a hoarding competition, using our Scottish landmark research to design, draw and paint some eye-catching boards.

Hillwood’s Gardening Action Group were lucky winners of the ‘One Planet Picnic Pocket Garden’ competition with their beautiful sensory garden promoting peace and justice. They were invited to realise their design at this year’s Gardening Scotland event – Well done!
A massive “thank you” to Lloyds Bank volunteers who did an amazing job painting our school playground. It’s definitely brightened up our playtimes!
Well done to everyone who helped make our Sports Day huge success! The children enjoyed working in action group teams to participate in different sporting activities and races.
