p7 assembly

Last week in assembly the p7 Mrs McIntosh’s  class did an assembly about World War two. They even made up their own play by making their own script. It was a really good play, there was even a song that they sang. Ellie  made an Anderson shelter; she told us what an Anderson shelter was for, and interesting facts and information about the anderson shelter. Duncan  made some food for his family using the kind of food that were available during WW2, and he said it was lovely.  Chris made a aeroplane and it was very good. Duncan also made all of the backrounds that were on the power point and it was very good. Some of their parents attended the assembly and were very impressed.

Nursery

Tomorrow the Nursery children are getting their teeth varnished by a dentist. So if you go down to the nursery tomorrow their teeth will be very nice and clean.

They have also been making their own obstacle courses because the obstacle courses that the teachers had made were apparently too easy for them.  They were very pleased with their results and had great fun navigating their obstacle courses .

The nursery pupils have also been looking for patterns around the school. They saw patterns outside in the playground and in the school.

Tree Planting

Last week we planted trees. We left the school at 10 o’clock and walked to the meadows. On the way we saw tiny rabbits. We finally got to the amazing meadows. First we had to get gloves from a man with a black bag. Then we got into groups and we all planted tiny trees. Next we all got to see everyones trees. Me and Annie planted a tree together and we named it Smeagall. We all had a marvellous time and we really did not want to go back to school. As time went on we got to have our play piece. Just before we went went we quickly got to plant one last tree. Then we walked all the way back to school.

Learning Council

The motto that they came up with was – ‘Everybody has a Voice’!

The votes for the school motto have been overwhelming! Parents’ views were sought by some of the children at the Parents Evenings, and almost 100% were in favour of a motto!

Before the October Holidays, Dennis Robertson came into Gordon Primary to answer some of the questions that the council had came up with! They found out a lot of information about how to run a council, it was very successful!
