Burns Poems

Last week (Friday 25th January 2013) Gordon Primary School had a Burns Assembly where a number of people from each class recited a Doric Poem. Every pupil from P4/7 were given a poem to learn off by heart. The winners were chosen to recite their poems at assembly.  Some learnt poems by Robert Burns such as “A Red, Red Rose” and some people recited some more modern poems by more modern poets such as Sheena Blackhall and Les Wheeler.

P4c Callum and Steven  both recited  Castle Creepy.

P4b Alisa  recited The Siar Finger, Lucy recited Mince and Tatties and Haiden recited  Castle Creepy.

P5b Ellie  recited Up the Stairs, Mitch  recited The Fireman, Lola recited The Sair Finger and Caitlin  recited Tanglen.

P6a Cameron  recited The Roman Sodger, Duncan, Hollie, Samantha  all recited A Red, Red Rose, Becky recited The Crocodile and Ellie recited The Checkouts Lament.

The poems were very entertaining. Well done winners!

Football!

Some of the p5 , p6 and p7s are getting the chance to go and see the football game Scotland vs Estonia.
We are going by bus to Pittodrie football stadium in Aberdeen next Wednesday. Some of the Gordon Primary staff are coming too. The trip was organised by Mrs Innes.

 

 

Snowy Days

LLast week Gordon Primary, along with many other schools in Aberdeenshire, was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday due to heavy snow. Pupils were able to do work from their snowpacks or Education city.  But hopefully they didn`t stay inside all day, and made the most of the snowy weather  to make igloos, snowmen  or go sledging.  Hopefully everyone is happy to be back to school.

P6A Tudors

P6A are doing Tudors as their topic  but are almost finished. To finish the topic they are describing Henry VIII when he was young and old. They have also  discussed if  Henry was a star or a monster. They decided that Henry was a star instead of a monster. He  did more things good, like making England a strong and powerful country but when it was bad things it was really bad.

Their next project is going to be Fairtrade and they are looking really forward to it.
