Nursery Sponsored Walk.
Well done to the nursery for raising a massive £2225 from their recent sponsored walk!
Art Work
Here are a few examples of some of the very attractive artwork that has been produced around the school.
Mr Baird has worked with P7 to produce very eye catching artwork in the style of Pablo Picasso, while Mrs Wills has been working with P6 to produce beautiful portraits in the style of Cationa Millar. P4s have produced some lovely windmill artwork, as part of their study of Scotland.
Sharing Assembly
Musicians Allysson Velez and Keith Cockburn joined the primary 4 classes to share the results of their 5 week block of music workshops with the school at a very lively musical assembly. The P4s sang “Ye Cannae Shove yer Grannie af a Bus” and “Three Craws” accompanied by Keith on guitar. They also joined in with the chorus of a “coco” song in Portuguese, warning about the dangers of fishing near sharks, accompanied by Allysson on pandero. A group of pupils then danced a “Ciranda” which is a Brazilian circle dance. It was a very entertaining assembly.
Primary 4 enjoyed learning about scottish and brazilian music, and are sorry that the workshops have come to an end. Thank you Keith, Allysson for coming to Gordon Primary to work with us and Deveron Arts for providing the workshops.
