Since November 2013, pupils, staff and the community of Ellon Primary have been working on the values that are most important to them for our school. Today, the Kids’ Council decided on the appearance of the wordle that makes up the most important values for them. The council wanted to ensure that the colours of Ellon Primary were represented in the wordle and have therefore chosen a selection of blues.

This wordle will be created into a print and displayed in the school, alongside the values of all other members of the school community. We will let you know when you can come and see it.

Congratulations to all ten winners whose posters are shown above.

It was extremely difficult choosing only ten as the standard for all the entries was so high.

The winning posters will be professionally printed and hung in athletes’ and officials’ bedrooms in the athletes village in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games 2014

Our topic is Healthy Eating.  We made a plate with loads of different types of  food groups.There’s   5  different   food  groups. We made a poster for a competiton about Healthy Eating. We painted cakes at art. We made packed lunches . We showed the primary 1 to 3 a harvest assembly.

This term, primary 6/7’s topic is Conflict and Resolution.

To start off the topic they have been learning about 9/11 and Terrorism. They saw pictures and watched videos about 9/11. They were very heart breaking and even though it never happened to them or the relatives it was still really emotional .They also learnt about Osama Bin Laden and the Terrorist group called Al Qaeda.

They have researched alot on conflit and they had to do a power point on either Vietnam War, French Revoloution or the North and South Korean war. The power points were all very good.

Just now they are learning about World War one and two. They learnt about the three main leaders Adolf  Hitler, King George VI and Winston Churchill.

At the Ellon Gala the netball teams from Ellon primary won all three sheilds. it was the first time for Ellon to win all three sheilds. Sheena and Miss.Jack were the coach’s for the Ellon netball teams.

There was football as well. The Ellon A team made it through to the semi-finals but they went out on penalties.

There was tonnes of games like hook a duck, bouncy castles, bungee jumping, football games and lots more. For the food there was sweet vans, burger vans and others.

The p6s are looking forward to going to Alltnacriche this year.
