Orchestra

 On Monday after school there is an Orchestra practice. Mrs McIntosh and Mrs Innes hold Orchestra and choose the pieces of music we play.

There are several instruments including violins, cellos, trumpets, trombones, oboes, flutes and clarinets.

Sadly, Orchestra is going to stop for Easter and start again at Winter. They are not planning to do an concert.

The songs they are playing now is the Chariots of Fire, Air on the G string and the water music.

Trio Assembly.

 

  • Last week we had 3 groups all coming to tell us about things. We started of with P5A’s  sharing assembly. They  read book reviews, writing and some information about their project about the jacobites. Groups had done research on 3 famous people from that time; Bonnie Prince Charlie, Flora McDonald and the Duke of Cumberland (nicknamed “the Butcher.”) They showed us models of blackhouses that they had made.
  • Then Carl Wright and Jake Florence had some very good news to tell us. They are climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. !!!!! !!! Tit will take about 5 days to complete the climb. They are raising money through their climb for Cancer research and Help for Heroes.
  • Plus we had the Fairtrade reps to tell us about Fairtrade fortnight. They reminded us why we should support Fairtrade. They also told us that the Fairtrade tuckshop would be running over the fortnight!

Girls Cricket

After school girls cricket club is a cricket club for girls age P3 to P7. Its in the school hall at 3:45 to 4:45 on a Tuesday. It is organised by Active Schools Aberdeenshire and run by Neil Nichol.

We desperately hope new people join us for cricket as numbers are running low. At the moment there are only 7 or 8 of us and Neil wants to have a Gordon Primary girls cricket team.  This involves turning up to training and cricket Matches. Please come!!!:)
