Over the last few weeks we have been involved in the Bridge of Don Remembers project that was organised to mark the centenary of the Armistice at the end of World War I. Across the school and in the community, the children have been involved in lots of activities relating to this project and there have been some amazing pieces of work produced.

Some of the pupil council and HWB representatives attended a special service at St Columba’s Church. We have had classes visiting the War memorial and the Poppy tree in Westfield Park. The girls, who are in Miss Hamilton’s choir, beautifully sang a collection of songs at the Legion to some of the members. There will be a display of some of the artwork produced, including the fantastic art installation, for parents to see during parent interviews this week.

The Bridge of Don Remembers project culminated in a very poignant service at the Balgownie War memorial on Remembrance Sunday. It was lovely to see so many members of the community help make this event such a memorable and special occasion. Here are some photos of the service on Remembrance Sunday where Charley and Callum in P7 did a great job representing the school by laying crosses and the school wreath at the memorial. .
