P2, P4 and P5 classes have been doing some tree planting, organized by Aberdeenshire Council, at the Meadows! They have planted blackthorn, hazel and other types of trees.
The classes have all enjoyed themselves loads!

Gordon Primary School were recently asked to contribute to an art exhibition at the Gartly community hall , known as “The Tin Hut”.
Artwork by Lauren, Abbie, Isla and Aidan from P5B was selected. The colourful landscapes in oil pastel that the children had done with Mrs Wills, was exhibited over the first weekend of the October break. The pictures were greatly admired by visitors to the exhibition. Hopefully the school can contribute to the exhibition in future years.

In the holidays some of you guys would have been sunbathing while some people from Gordon Primary were busy at work. Each Wednesday of the holiday some of the P5s/6s delivered tours around Huntly Castle.
The tours were enjoyed by members of the public, including some chinese visitors who were delighted to see the guides with their sumptuous costumes. After school clubs and people from Huntly and the surrounding area also enjoyed the tour. All the Tour guides had to cope with all weather conditions so that means they had to do it rain or shine, including some torrential rain showers! They also took part in the Room to Roam festival in the square (organised by Deveron Arts) where they sang “The Jacobite” accompanied by Keith Cockburn. They also performed at the weekly summer ceilidhs in the Stewarts hall on Wednesday evenings .
The first week of tour guides was the week commencing 8th of July. Tours were given by Mitch Philippa Lola and Ellie.(public)
