At assembly last week a woman came in to talk to us about lepra. Lepra it is a serious disease. Lepra gives support to people with the disease and fundraises money to give someone a operation to help them get better again.It only takes £25 to help someone get better. Lepra representatives will be back on october 2nd to lead a sponsored workout for classes in the school.

Pirate Black Beard

Nursery received a letter  from Pirate Black Beard. They went down into the woods and  went on a hunt for treasure  because pirate black beard said he had left some treasure in the wooods for them.

On Friday they are having a pirate parade, and will be coming o the nursery in a pirate costume to go on a parade. They have  been really busy this week and are looking forward to going on their walk and playing with their new treasure.

Huntly Castle Trip

P4b were taken on an exciting tour of Huntly

Castle last week.

The Junior Tour Guides led them down to the castle and told them about the history of the castle, how the different rooms were used and about life in the castle 700 years ago.

Primary 4 admired the beautiful frontispiece on the doorway of the castle, and learnt why some of it is missing. They were told what a mason’s mark is and saw one on the doorway.

Next they saw the dungeons and were told about the poor prisoners who were thrown in them.

After that they visited the kitchen and then the great hall. They P4s enjoyed playing a game called “Cooks Coming”.

After their tour the P4’s had to say one thing they had learnt on their tour.

The tour guides did an excellent job of showing the class around the castle. Thank you !
