One of Gordon Primary’s main learning targets this year is improving Mental Maths skills throughout the school..
All classes have been doing daily mental maths activities. Some teachers have visited other classes to observe and get some ideas about how to teach their class differently or improve their own way of teaching the class!
Before the Christmas Craft Afternoon on Friday 15th there will be a Workshop for parents about to help improve their childs Mental Maths Skills!

Classes around the school are busy making items to sell at the Christmas fair, which will be held in the school on Thursday 21st November from 6.30 – 8.00 pm.
Classes are making things such as candle holders, key rings and Christmas decorations. There will also be raffles, a chocolate tombola and nail art. Teas and coffees will be served and the choir will be singing.
On Thursday 7th November the shoe boxes need to be in so that the people from Vision Romania can collect the shoe boxes and take it to Romania in time before the snow gets too bad.
The children in Romania would be delighted to recieve any christmas presants even if it is only something small like a packet of pencils and a pad of paper. Thank you to everyone who has donated items to go into the shoe boxes.
P2, P4 and P5 classes have been doing some tree planting, organized by Aberdeenshire Council, at the Meadows! They have planted blackthorn, hazel and other types of trees.
The classes have all enjoyed themselves loads!

Last Thursday Mrs Chalmers and Mrs Pettitt came into school to help P4B finish their crow masks.
The children decorated their masks with black feathers and glitter. They looked very effective!
The class then sang the scottish song “Three Craws sat upon a wa’. ”
Thank you Mrs Chalmers and Mrs Pettit for coming in to help us.
