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!!!:)

ALEC Bus

All classes at Gordon Primary visited the ALEC bus and learnt about keeping themselves safe and healthy.

The nursery children enjoyed meeting Harold the giraffe. They learnt about  their bodies, and learnt where their ribs, heart, stomach and lungs were. They learnt about keeping themselves healthy by washing, eating well, sleeping and having plenty of exercise. They enjoyed brushing Harolds teeth!

Mount kilimanjaro

In April 2013, a group from Huntly will try to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Several members of the group  are parents of children from Gordon Primary and The Gordon Schools.

Two of these members are using the adventure to raise funds for cancer research UK and Help for Heroes. These two are hoping to raise a significent amount of money for their chosen charity.

They are looking forward to their one in a lifetime experience and will fly out from Aberdeen airport on Saturday the 30th of March.

They are going to speak to the upper stages about their chosen charities and the climb itself at assembly.

After School Cricket Club

Our school sometimes holds clubs after school and in school times!

We really enjoy them and I am going to tell you about one of them:

The Cricket Club!

Its only for girls and its after school and its for girls in primaries 4, 5, 6,  and 7.

Mr Nicol runs it and he enjoys it as much as the girls do!

They meet every week on Tuesdays and they have to be first to leave from school.

There is also a boys cricket club and a girl and boy cricket club but I am only going to write about the girls one.

Outdoor Fun

Other classes also took the opportunity of working outdoors in the snow, making the most of the fact that the snow was perfect for making snowballs and snowmen.  P4 and P3 classes went outside today to build snowmen. P4C worked together in their co-operative learning groups to build and name a snowman. One group made a snow horse. P4B decided they wanted a change from snowmen and worked together to build a snow dolphin and other animals.
