In term 2 Quarryhill will be taking part in a project with Shopmobility, Aberdeen. This project is a virtual walk from Aberdeen, Scotland to Aberdeen, Hong Kong. A total of 11,114 miles. Each child will have the opportunity to wear a pedometer and the number of steps they take will be counted. All the steps taken by the pupils of Quarryhill will go towards the Shopmobility overall total.
Progress for the hike can be viewed on the Shopmobility Facebook and Twitter page.
P7 Assembly
A fantastic assembly was held by our P7 pupils this week. They invited their parents along and told the rest of the school about their book study this term – Gangsta Granny by David Walliams.
Well Done everyone in P7!
Playground Fun!
Our Grounds for Learning project has been going really well. Loose materials have started to be introduced into the playground, at playtime and lunchtime. There has been lots of digging, den building, tyre play and even hay!
The children are thoroughly enjoying all the new items out in the playground.
A huge thank you to all our parents and carers that have been collecting and donating items to the school to help us with this project.
Neon Disco
Primary 6 Space Challenge
The P6 pupils completed a homework challenge this week to create a 3D alien as part of their IDL work. There were some fantastic aliens and lots of hard work gone into this challenge. Well done boys and girls in P6 (and all the Mums and Dads that helped)!

Mingling Mondays
There was lots of chalk out in the playground today and the children were allowed to use it to create drawings.
All the pupils thought Mingling Mondays were a great idea and lots of fun was had by all!
Super Hero Day
P7 Haughton Park Visit
Our primary 7 class have been working with The Reading Bus and Music Without Bars in the project- Aberdeen, My Place in the Natural World.
Aberdeen, My Place in the Natural World, aims to empower young people from Aberdeen to develop new creative digital media to celebrate and share the outstanding beauty of four Country Parks in the North-East of Scotland. Our primary 7 class have been focusing on Haughton Park, Alford.
This has been a very exciting opportunity for our pupils to work with a team of professional artists, attend site visits to the different parks, research each through a series of; poems, storytelling, artwork, photography, and interview local rangers and residents, to record a unique geographical impression of the areas. Back in school, creative specialists have worked with pupils to create media resources inspired by the findings that will be translated into sonic maps, promo-trailers, podcasts and an ebook amongst others.
