Sharing Assembly
Last week (13th March) Cameron and Katie from P6 told us about the Junior First Aid course that they had taken part in. They had learnt simple but important first aid guidelines, such as two different ways to help if someone is choking.
Well done Cameron and Katie.
Next Chris, Christine and Pietra told us how they have been busy raising money for Comic Relief by bouncing into school and home again on Space Hoppers. They explained how their journey has been made more difficult because of snow and ice …. and they have the bruises to prove it! Well done Chris, Christine and Pietra for your effort!
Finally P4A showed us what they have been learning about this term; they performed a poem “The Fight of the Year” by Roger McGough, complete with actions. Some of the class read poems that they had written themselves. Others told us they had been learning about electricity and learning how to make a circuit. They showed us models that they had made which had moving parts (a propeller on a helicopter) or parts that lit up (cats’ eyes).
Sharing assembly; P6B
P6B have been studying the Tudors, and shared what they have been doing in a very interesting and entertaining assembly.
They showed us posters they had made and read poems. They showed and talked about their models of Tudor buildings. Finally they created a television report about the birth of Queen Elizabeth 1st , which included interviews live from Windsor Castle !

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!!!:)

FAIRTRADE Fortnight
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.

P6a Advertisments
P6a have been planning an advertisement poster to advertise a random product, this product will not exist and will be made up!
Some people have made up a product like Tractor Polish to make the tractor shiny it comes in loads of different colours! Also someone is going to sell a celebrity’s used toilet and toilet roll! Also there is product that includes Will-I-Am’s finger nails which will make money if you whack it with a frying pan! There are loads more advertisement ideas!
After the plan/poster plan has been made they will then make the poster. They have learnt that an advertisment doesn’t have much writing just a few sentences and a picture of the product and if they have anough time they will make a video!
