Today P6 learned…
Working together as a team gets the job done…
We learned how to toast marshmallows…yum yum.
Putting wetsuits on is one of the hardest challenges we have had to do.
We are capable of things if we try them and give it our best effort.
Home tomorrow. #sadfaces
We had an amazing day full of challenges and firsts! From Gorge walking and conquering our fears, to building our own zipwire, to toasting marshmallows and popcorn. Best classroom in the world. #welljel
The P6 Cromdale group have just finished a hearty breakfast, and although tired after a late bedtime are keen to get going. Today is Gorge Walking, Mountain biking and Wilderness skills.
More later…
What a great day to celebrate Sports Day – the sun shone brightly and so did our pupils! The pupils looked great in their house colours and had a great morning of exercise and fun. Going by the tired, but happy, faces at lunch they definitely gave it their all. Well done (especially to Mrs Gray and Miss Carle for all their hard work organising the event!). The Walker Road team definitely showed that being good at sport is important, but above all being a good sport is also important!

Thank you to all who came to our Dance Show yesterday. It was brilliant and we were so proud of all our pupils. The children loved being able to share their dances with you. If you have any photos then please let Miss Graham know so we can share some of them on here.
And finally…thank you to Mrs Sadler and Mrs Brown for giving up their time and sharing their talents in both Zumba and Highland Dancing. Great work ladies!

Primary 5 (Miss Munro’s class) were challenged to create a collaborative piece of art for MOL Energy’s new office in Aberdeen. They have exceeded all expectations and received lots of compliments about their work, their creativity and positive attitudes towards others from all involved. The class worked with students from Gray’s School of Art and presented the pieces based on the theme of transition to Chris Bird (Managing Director) at school on Tuesday. Grahame Paterson (CEO of Transition Extreme), who co-ordinated the project, was so impressed he has sponsored a day at Transition Extreme for the whole class – well done Primary 5!
And…Primary 4 (Miss Davidson’s class) wrote persuasive letters to First Bus to ask them to help celebrate Wojtek – The Brave Bear who served with the Polish Army during World War 2. First Bus was so impressed they have asked Primary 4 to rename the main bus route for Torry (#12) after Wojtek. The Primary 4s have just finished their animation about Wojtek (coming soon!) and are now helping to create the Wojtek section of our blog – a work in progress! Well done Primary 4 – your voices were truly listened to and we are so proud of your achievements!
Well done to all the pupils who took part in our Reading for Gold. It was great to see so many pupils reading all over the school, including in the lunch line! On Friday 24th April we presented awards to all the remarkable readers who had achieved a milestone in reading over the month of March. This saw us present over 75 Bronze and Silver certificates and 25 Gold Medals! Fantastic work Walker Road!
