This Wednesday (2 April) the Primary 3 classes presented a play named ‘Moses’ which they had been working on for the past 3 weeks to the whole of Gordon Primary and their parents in the Afternoon!
There were lots of props and costumes, the props illustrated the scenes beautifully! There were lots of well rehearsed songs as well!
All the school and parents enjoyed the play loads.
Well Done to all the Primary 3 Pupils for putting on a marvellous show!

P4b has been looking at the news with Miss Sutherland and each day we would look at a different news story on Newsround. As homework we chose our favourite news story and wrote about it. The next week we did our own news round report with a desk and news reporters. It was very interesting!

The fairtrade elections are being held this week. Two people from each class will be elected as Fairtrtade rep and a fairtrade vice rep. Candidates will have to make a speech to their class, explaining why they would make a good fairtrade representative.
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!

The wall is nearly full with achievements!

On Tuesday 17th December the Primary 1 Classes did their Nativity, they did one show for the parents and another for the school! The parents and all the pupils thought it was great!
There were 5 children in Pyjamas narrating the story of the first christmas, the singing was great and they remembered the words really well, the songs were very merry! The Nativities are always good but this was one of their best ones!

A representative from Lepra came to Gordon Primary on Wednesday to thank pupils and parents for their wonderful response to the sponsored workout. An amazing total of over £3,000 had been raised for Lepra!
She reminded pupils that it cost £25 to cure a child from leprosy and told the pupils at assembly that they had helped over 120 children and had given them the best Christmas present that they could wish for.
She presented certificates to those pupils who has raised over £50 in sponsor money.
Well done to all the pupils and parents who raised such a marvellous amount!
All the prize winners of the Huntly cultural fund met together in the hall of the Parish Church on at 7 o’clock on Tuesday 3rd December.
These included many groups that are developing creative projects in the community, such as the Huntly Pipeband, Huntly Summer School, Dudendance and Gordon Primary’s Huntly Castle junior tour guides.
Philippa and Hannah went to along represent the tour guides, dressed in their beautiful costumes. They did an excellent job of telling other community groups about the Junior Tour Guides and about how we intend to use our Cultural Fund award.
