Gordon Primary Tour Guides
The last tour of Huntly Castle for Winter will be tomorrow (7th November 2012). There will be more tours in Spring!
Each Tour Guide has done 2 tours. Tour Guides have enjoyed doing the tours and are feeling more and more confident with each tour they do. When the P5s take over from us we will have a party at the end and pass on all our outfits to the P5s but it will be a long long time before that happens!
In Spring there will be some more Public Tours. Feel free to come to them!

News from the Palace!
A letter recently arrived at Gordon Primary School; we were very excited because it wasn’t an ordinary letter … It was a letter from the Queen!
During the run up to the Queens Diamond Jubilee, pupils in the lower stages had made a massive scrapbook about the Queen which included portraits of her Highness and information that they had found out about her life. They posted the scrapbook to Buckingham Palace as a gift for her for her Jubilee Celebrations.
They were delighted when a letter with a Buckingham Palace postmark arrived at the school in November. In it was a letter, signed by The Queens’ lady in waiting thanking the children for the “splendid scrapbook”. The letter also contained some leaflets about the Queens working day, Buckingham Palace and her pet corgis.
