One week a pupil in our class 4b brought in tadpoles.There are about one hundred and some of them are growing back legs.We are feeding them rabbit pellets and chickweed. The bigger ones are more of a brown colour but the smaller are a black colour.The tadpoles are fast eaters! We are watching them change into frogs. There is one that’s a froglet all ready. We plan to release the frogs in the Bin Forest.

Last Week p4b went on a walk round the Deveron because we were looking for habitat for our salmon and I persoomed they will be Fry by now. We walked with Catrin Jeans from Deveron Arts. We went to the Deveron park and kept going down a little path then we walked further until we came to a big hole. Much to my surprise we saw cows waiting for us.We also saw lovely flowers. And I was carrying my bright yellow hat and suddenly a fly came on, then another and another and by the time I got back to class I had twentyfive flies in my hat. And yesterday I went with my dad and sister and did the same walk but we went right up the steps and right back to my house.

Some oystercatchers have been busy in the school grounds over the last few weeks. There’s been two adults protecting their young from harm. They have a nest on the school roof, and the chicks have come off the roof quite early.
The young chicks have been wandering about the playground so when people come to school the parents have been trying to keep people away from the chicks! It has been lovely to see wildlife in school grounds.

Both Primary 7 classes had a Policeman in to talk to them about Internet Safety and Drugs Awareness! Both classes are currently doing revision on Living and Growing, and looking at other areas of the topic.!
They learnt about some of the many different types of drugs and how some can be used in medicines and some can be illegal and can seriously harm people. They learnt about how some drugs can slow down your brain and how you react to things, some can speed up your brain and make you more alert and how some can make you hallucinate!
In the second talk the policeman told the class about Internet Safety, he told them that not selecting private on social networking sites is a bit like putting a sign in your garden with your personal details on it and leaving your front door open and allowing anyone to walk into your house and look at your photos, bedroom etc.
The Primary 7’s really enjoyed the talk and found it very interesting!

Gardening club’s coffee morning was great we raised over £700. we would like to say a big thanks to the parents and to everyone who helped and supported us.
Last Tuesday the two p6 classes did an assembly, talking about how to stay safe on the internet. Some of the facts that learnt is that there are smart rules. S stands for safe, M is for meeting, A is for accepting all the junk email, R means reliable , T stands for tell. There was also other facts – like don’t give your personal details to people that you don’t know that person.
Remember that is it’s a jungle out there!

Over £700 was raised at the recent coffee morning at the Stewarts hall, in aid of the Gordon Primary allotments! The money will go towards developing the new allotments on the school grounds. The new allotments were designed by Heather and Brogan in Pp6. The design consists of raised beds, along with fruit trees and bushes, surrounded by a fence.
An enthusiastic group of pupils, parents and staff have formed an Allotment group who are meeting on Mondays after school to develop the allotments. Their first task is to design and plant up the sensory garden. This consists of 5 raised beds containing plants to stimulate the five senses; taste, small, touch. hearing and appearance. Already the beds are planted with chives, marigolds, sweet peas and broccoli, to name but a few.
