P4 recently enjoyed workshops organised by Deveron Arts. nancy, elisabetta and Norma came into work with the P4’s.
The p4’s learnt how young children in Zimbabwe play with dolls and footballs made from recycled materials (plastic bags and newspaper). They then had a go at making the dolls. They all really enjoyed the activity.
Thank you Deveron Arts.
Shane (P6b) had been in the Gardening Group for Hobbies. Ever since then he has enjoyed gardening a lot and he is now the head gardener, working with Craig, Keiran, Thomas and Grant! They are working very hard to look after all the flowers around Gordon Primary School!
They have been planting tulips and daffodils which have been placed around the school, in the entrance foyer and corridors. They have certainly given the school a bright cheerful feel. They also planted some spinach!

Space craft of all shapes and sizes have been winging their way into Gordon Primary over the last couple of weeks.
Primary 4C were asked to make a space vehicle at home using recycled materials. Each pupil would show their vehicle to the class and do a brief talk about who would use the space craft, its destination, what sort of fuel it used and any other interesting facts.
The results have been very impressive. One space craft comes complete with fridge, television and toilet! The models are currently on display in the P4 area.
P6 and 7 pupils recently took part in the Cross Country event.
