On Monday 16 th June 2014 p4b and p4a did our own commonwealth games with other local schools. The schools included were Rhynie, Gartly, Forgue and so on. Our country was Northern Ireland and some of the other countries were Australia, South Africa and Malta . We had great time! Our team did not win but we did well. The Javelin was my favourite. I threw it so far so it went past both of the cones!

Members of P4B have been doing talks about their interest/ hobby. The class have found out about a wide range of interests. Talks have included playing the chanter (with a lovely tune played by Lewis), football, mountain biking (which featured a wonderful video of Alasdair and his family biking through the forests and countryside and manga drawing from Sanya, who showed her artwork and talked about how her drawings have developed. Other interesting talks included Pokemon, Holland, WW Wrestling, animals, model trains, horse riding, dinosaurs and many others!
Pupils at the school were very lucky to be able to listen to Paul Anderson playing fiddle at assembly. Paul has been working with Deveron Arts, who arranged the visit into school.
Paul explained the difference between a fiddle and a violin. He then played some traditional scottish tunes. Everyone”s toes were tapping! Next he played some haunting music and asked everyone to close their eyes and try to imagine what the music was about. Some children thought the music was very sad. Paul told us that it was about the lady from Fyvie Castle. He then invited the school to walk around the hall in time to a tune.
Everyone enjoyed listening to the music and learning more about fiddle music.
Recently P4B have had the opportunity to observe two spectacular moths. First Clover bought her moth into school. She had hatched the moth out from a larva. Unfortunately once the moth hatches out it only lives for two weeks. The class admired its spectacular markings and some children were able to hold it.
A few days later someone noticed another large moth(a Poplar Hawk moth) that had landed at the doors into the P4 area. Everyone had a chance to have a really good look at the moth, and we then told the P3s (who were out doing a mini beast hunt!) where it was so that they could observe it too.
