Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns

Primary 6A  from Gordon  Primary school were wondering if you would be kind enough to include in your article about our Chinese day on Friday 31st January 2014. With a chinese pupil joining our class we decided to base our topic on a trip that starts in Huntly and ends in Fujian, China. We worked in our co-operative groups to pull it off and produce our very own travel guide. We started off the day by doing some Chinese homework talks including some power points and a song composed by a pupil. Then we went on to dressing up in Asian and Scottish clothes.

We have our very own China wall in our class with some pictures we made in homework. Some of us chose to write about how people in China live and work. We also got  to learn a Scottish poem for homework that  we would read to the class. We had to include actions and the best three will be chosen as winners. then one of them will read their winning poem at Assembly.

Nursery

The nursery children have been making puppets at home with their parents. They also built a car for Mr Mole so he can get home and they have been introducing Mr Mole to new friends. They have all been very kind to him.  They have been telling everyone about their  animal, like what its name is, what it is and loads more about their animal. There teachers were very impressed and very pleased with their animals.

Winter Olympics Sochi 2014

As you all probably know 4 lucky people  have been able to represent Huntly at the winter olympics.  These people are Rosamund Muskgrave,  Andrew Muskgrave,  Andrew Young and Callum Smith.  They are all competing in cross country sprint. Rosamund will be competing in the womans race and the Andrew.M, Andrew.Y  and Callum are competing in the mens race which is around 600m longer than the womans race.

The race was this morning and Andrew M got through to the Quarter finals but sadly did not make to the semi finals. Callum and Andrew.Y were not fast enough to go throught to the quarter finals. ( But I couldn’t ski a 1.5 km ski track in 3 minutes 50!!!!!) Rosamund sadly did not make it through to the quarter finals either but looked like she was having great fun.

Some of the classes watched the races and started cheering each time their name was mentioned and showing lots of support. Andrew Young is an ex pupil from Gordon Primary, so the school was very proud to be watching him compete in the Olympics.

Well done to all of them we all thought you did amazingly well!!
