P2’s and P5’s Assembly

Last week p2’s and p5’s did an assembly about Makaton which is a way of communicating using hand signs. We learned a song and we all had fun singing the song, everyone was joining in. We learned some Makaton to go with the song. Some of the words we learnt to say using makaton included; hello, you, me, friend and play. The song is sung by Mr Tumble. P2 and P5 worked very hard to put their assembly together and learning the Makaton and teaching it to us. They did a very good job.

WELL DONE!

friendship tree

As you had probably noticed there is a tree in the school hall thats looking a bit bare at the moment.

The whole school is taking part in a big tree from the famous quote “friendship is a sheltering tree.” Each class has beeen getting little bits and bobs, such as leaves insects and flowerpots. As their project p6 has been learning about friendship and bullying and the class came up with the idea to make a tree representing “we are all Gordon Primary School.”

everybody will be taking part even the teachers.

The Nursery and P1s will be getting flower pots, they will put their names on the pot and write what they think friendship is on the petals.

P2s to p7s will be doing leaves that they can decorate with their names.  Also they will be getting insects or birds to write on what they think friendship is.

The  staff will be getting watering cans to sign.

So every single person in Gordon Primary will be taking part.

We are looking forward to seeing the completed tree flourishing and full of leaves!

The owl who was afraid of the dark

The p2’s yesterday did a wonderful assembly for p2 parents and the whole school.

In school as the class novel p2a have been reading “The Owl who wasAfraid of the Dark”. The book is about an owl who is afraid of the dark but has a series of meetings with  different people. They tell him that dark is exciting, kind, fun, necessary, fascinating, wonderful and beautiful. In assembly the p2s told us that they had been learning how to make a summary of a book. They had also been making posters  about nocturnal (really good) and firework displays made with chalk pastels and glitter (Absolutely Amazing!!!!)

Everybody spoke clearly and loudly. It was a very good performance  – well done!

Judo

1 Comment

Primary 4 classes and primary 2 have been very lucky to be given two Judo workshops.

Stuart and Callum, two Judo experts came into Gordon Primary to work with the children. First the children did warm ups, playing fun games. They did a frog run.

They were taught to bow to their opponent and to speak some Japanese.

They learnt some simple Judo moves, such as using your chest to hold down an opponent. Stuart and Callum showed them how to do a judo throw; some of the pupils even managed to throw Stuart and Callum!

To finish off they played exciting games of tug of war.

They were reminded that judo is a martial art that you need to be trained in, and not to try it out in the playground.

Fortunately they will have a chance to develop their Judo skills and judo classes will be starting at Gordon Primary after school in the new Year (organised by Mark Borzoni from Active sports).

Many P4 pupils are keen to learn judo and are really looking forward to the lessons starting.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Christmas Fair and the adults and children who were helping out. The choir were excellent and the orchestra were superb. The christmas fair raised an astonishing £1853. Thank you to the P.T.A members and Mrs Innes who organised the fair and also thank you to the pupils who made the crafts.

Almost everything was sold ! The girls who were helping sell the P1 fatballs made up a motto “save the birds,buy a fatball”

Well done to everyone who took part; it was greatly appreciated.

These are the things that were available:

felt badges, fat balls, homemade bags, sweetie cones, candle holders, cards, bookmarks, nail painting, decorations, tattoos and many other things.

The raffle was a big success.
