For P.E. primary 6A and 6B classes have been doing ballroom dancing. We have been learning the Elephant Walk- it is very funny to do or to watch, also the song is very catchy. The Quick Waltz is very elegant, then there is the Mambo which is very hard and you need to be fast at it.
Mr.Robertson has been teaching us the dances, it is fun.

The learning Council have organised “Swap a Book day” to coincide with world book day. Swap’ a’ book day is when you take in books that you dont want anymore and that your parent says you can take them in. You can take one book in (or you could take as many as you want) and then you will be able to choose a book to take home. All books are free. Swap ‘a’ book day is on 6th March 2014. We hope we get lots of books to swap, so that everyone is able to choose a book that they really enjoy!

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.

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.

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!!

Last week (Wednesday 28th Febuary) Primary 5a presented an assembly about their topic, the Jacobites.
They have been learning about the Jacobites since the start of term 3, they have learnt loads and are very knowledgable about them.
Their Assembly was about a group of children from Gordon Primary who built a time machine and decided to visit the time of the Jacobites. The Jacobites spoke a different language at first (gaelic) but then they found out they spoke English. The children from the past and the children from Gordon Primary had a chat, and compared their lives. The jacobite children worked hard every day collecting water, looking after animals and collecting firewood. They drank water if they were thirsty, and ate shop, bread and cheese. They didn’t eat potatoes because they hadnt been introduced to Scotland yet. They had no electricity, mobile phones. The children learnt how different life was back in the time of the Jacobites.
The whole school and P5 parents enjoyed the assembly and learnt a lot!
