P4c went to see the lower stages sports. And the sun was shining and they were doing javelin, superman, egg and spoon race,and hurdles.
They were trying to get the ball into the tyre, they were running round poles, stiltwalking, kicking the ball round poles and jumping in a sack.
Primary 1, 2 and 3 worked really hard at their sports day and they had a lot of fun.

All of P3 were planting trees in the school grounds with Norma Hunter as part of “the edible walk”.
I think all of them had fun! They planted apple ,plum and pear trees. We are looking forward togetting fruit on the trees that everyone can enjoy eating!
The idea behind the edible walk is that people in the community can walk around Huntly, from Battlehill down to the Deveron and taste food that has been planted along the way.
Elections are being held next Thursday (6th June 2013)!
The Learning Council is where class representatives and a group of teachers meet regularly as a group to take forward and discuss the school!
Each class will elect 2 members to be in the council. The election will take place in term 4 of each year!
The learning council will discuss what is happening in school, making plans for improving the life of school, reps share the work of the council at assemblies, collect ideas from their classes and share at meetings.
They will meet 2 times in a term.

On Monday primary 3 classes went to visit Satrosphere as part of their “Healthy Me” topic.
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!

P3 have been enjoying learning about vikings as their topic. Their challenge at home was to make a viking longhouse with any materials they could find, they were also allowed to use natural materials like sticks and hay. Some have moss for the grass and also some have have put detail inside, such as cooking pots and a fire, animals and simple furniture.
The long houses had no windows, so were very smoky. They had just one room, which was shared by the Vikings and their cattle.
If you would like to see some of the longhouses, go to the glass corridor. Everyone who has walked through the the corridor has remarked how well they have been made.
They have also been finding out about how the Vikings made their clothes. They have been dying materials using different substances such as onions, beetroot, berries and turmeric.

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!!!:)

Fairtrade fortnight will be starting soon (February 25th to March 10th).
The FAIRTRADE representatives from all the classes in the school have been busy having meetings and deciding how they could help to promote Fairtrade over the fortnight.
There will be a Fairtrade tuckshop during the fortnight, run by the P4, 5,6, and 7 Fairtrade representatives. There will also be a sculpture/collage competition; each class is invited to bring in Fairtrade wrappers and packets and use these to make a sculpture or collage which will be displayed in the school. Photos of the artwork will be uploaded to the Fairtrade website.
There will also be a Fairtrade logo hunt in the school grounds during the second week.
Primary 4 Fairtrade reps have written letters to parents about the Fairtrade activities. Some reps have been busy making logos (for the treasure hunt) and badges. P 1-3 reps spoke to the early stages at assembly about the fortnight , and P5-7 reps wrote and delivered an assembly to the Upper Stages, reminding them why we should try and support Fairtrade and how Fairtrade helps some farmers to get a better (and fair) deal..
The Primary 6 classes are looking at Fairtrade as their project. P6B designed some lovely posters to promote the fortnight and the tuckshop.

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.
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.
