Tadpoles
Last Monday P4c got some frog spawn for their classroom. The spawn soon started to hatch with the warmth of the room, and they now have lots of tadpoles. The class are keeping a diary to record the changes they observe in the tadpoles. They are hoping they will have some froglets by the end of term, and are wondering if they could walk to the Bin Forest to release them into the wild.
The class have been carrying out research about the tadpoles and made eye catching posters about their findings. They gave a talk to the class about what they had found out.
Keith And Pam Cockburn
Before our Easter holidays, Keith and Pam Cockburn came into Gordon Primary to work with Primary 5. The workshops, which ran over 4 weeks, were organised by Deveron Arts. P5 learned a lot of different songs including a few connected to their project the Jacobites. Those songs were called: Ye Jacobites By Name and the Skye Boat Song. Some of the other songs that they learned were called:Murder In The Chip Shop, Ye Cannie Shove Yer Granny, 3 Craws , Me Maws A Milionaire, Loch Lomand, Wild Mountain and many others. Keith And Pam were lovely people. Keith plays the Guitar, and Pam plays the Violin.

Musical Assembly
The whole school enjoyed a musical assembly on the last day of term.
The orchestra played as the classes came in, and also played a fsongs that they have been learnins during the assembly. Children (and staff) particularly enjoyed the clashing cymbals during their rendition of Greigs “Hall of the Mountain King”.
Next we all enjoyed listening to P5 singing Scottish songs with Keith Cockburn, accompanied by Pam Cockburn on fiddle. They sang Ye Jacobites by Name and the Skye Boat Song, and then finished off with Murder in the Chipshop.
More music followed with the choir singing for us. Among the songs were Alexanders Ragtime band and Annies song.
P3 Easter Extravaganza
Don’t be fooled by the name it really was a extravaganza!!!!
P3 were in the spotlight on the Tuesday before the holidays. Amazing singing and dancing from all of the p3s. All of the blogger team enjoyed it, did you enjoy it?
All of the p3 remembered their lines and enjoyed themselves
Three cheers for the P3s!!!:)
The play was about the Easter story. They all dressed up to make it more life like.
The p3’s did one performance for the school and the following day another one for parents. Both performances were excellent!

Vet visit
The Nursery recently enjoyed a fascinating visit from the vet. They found out how to look after a dog and other pets.
Non-Matching Socks Day!
Last Thursday (21st March) was non-matching socks day at Gordon Primary school, organised by Primary 1.
Pupils were invited to wear non matching socks, and to bring a donation towards the Scottish Downs Syndrome society. Primary 1 pupils made badges, which they sold for 30p. They were so popular they all sold out, and more had to be made! Primary 1 also went around the school to collect the money, which they collected in a sock. It became VERY heavy.
More than £190 was collected, which has been sent to the society. Well done primary 1 for organising the day!
Islamic Tiles
Primary 6 have been studying Islam. They have been looking at Islamic art. They have learnt how muslims use pattern and symmetry in their art work. They made these Islamic tiles in art with Mrs Wills.
