The nursery were told about Huntly Castle by some of the Huntly Castle Junior Tour Guides.
They learnt about the kitchen and how the food was cooked in an enormous cooking pot. They learnt that the fire was never allowed to go out.
They were also told about the prison, the Great Hall and the Lords chamber.
Back at the nursery they made a soup just like the one that would have been made 400 years ago in the castle.
Classes in the school are doing kick boxing workshops this week, to give them a taster of kick boxing! Senser John McInnes taught the workshops. He is recently back from Sicily where ex pupil Rhianan Chisolm won a bronze medal in the kick boxing world championships!
Primary 4 classes enjoyed learning some basic moves. They enjoyed doing a warm up and stretches. They then learnt the Left Punch, the Right Punch and a Side Kick. Then they combined them all together while saying KI-A!

Over 100 shoeboxes have been donated by pupils and parents at Gordon Primary School towards the New Hope Trust Christmas Shoebox Appeal. These boxes will be collected by the New Hope Trust who will deliver them to orphans in Romania. Each box contains items such as socks, gloves, toothbrushes and paste, soap, pens and paper. A group of P7 pupils worked with staff to pack and check all the boxes.
Many thanks to everyone who donated items!
The nursery recently went for a walk around the school grounds to look at trees. They studied the leaves, looking at their shapes and the autumn colours. They looked at the bark of trees and felt their texture.
Tghey went to the shops to buy bird feeders, food to put in it and fat balls. Back at the nursery they filled the bird feeders with seeds and nuts, and hung them up in the nursery garden for the birds to enjoy.
They also helped to plant some trees.
P6b have been reading an amazing book by Roald Dahl, James And The Giant Peach!!
We are on chapter 5 so far and we did lots of activities relating to the book and we are all really enjoying them :D. P6A are also doing the same book but we don’t work together!!!

The Fairtrade Elections will take place on the week of the 26th November 2012.
At the start of the elections everyone from each classs will choose who they want to be representative or vice representative for their class.
Reps and vice reps would attend a meeting every term to discuss FAIRTRADE in the school. They help decide what the school does over FAIRRADE fortnight. They might publicize FAIRTRADE events at assembly. P6 and 7 reps help out at a FAIRTRADE stall at parents evening.
We are hoping to start a FAIRTRADE tuckshop once a week and some reps would be able to help out with this.
