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!

Well done to the Gordon Primary Quiz team who were runners up in the Annual Rotary Club Quiz! Team members Lucas, Nick, Murray and Ross came within one mark off joint first place. Amelia, another team member joined forces with children from other schools to create a mixed team for the evening.
Down at the nursery they have been looking at growing. For part of that they have been talking teddies home with them and learning how to brush their teeth and tuck them into their beds and how to get them ready for going to nursery. Moira Auchnie, the health Visitor came in to talk to the children about looking after young babies. The nursery pupils were asked to bring in a picture of them as a baby to see how have changed and grown up. They have also been looking at how to measure themselves and also how to use themselves to measure things outside and inside.
Outside in the nursery garden they have been able to experience looking after babies, washing clothes, hanging them out to dry, cooking meals and serving them up.
Last week a forest commissioner came in to talk to them about the forest and creatures in the forest. They really enjoyed learning about wildlife in the forest.

The Primary sevens have been learning about the rainforests of the world. They did some little plays about the weather, drums , plants, animals and about people destroying the rain forests. At the end they did a vote on the rainforests plays. Then a group of drummers played some songs like the tribes do. In some of the plays there arguments, discussions and lots of great facts.
At the beginning all the class sang “It’s a Wonderful World’ while we saw a slide show of lovely wildlife photos.
The p7 assembly was very entertaining and it gave us a lot to think about.

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.

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!

Mrs Jamieson’s Primary 3 class shared what they have been learning in a very interesting assembly attended by staff, pupils and P3 parents.
The children had been watching the Nutcracker ballet.
The children thought about the main characters in the ballet, (Clara, the Nutcracker, the mouse king) and thought about wow words to describe them. They also described the setting of the story.
They wrote their own endings to the story of the Nutcracker. In science they made simple circuits, drew pictures of the Nutcracker and used the circuits to light up the buttons of their Nutcrackers.
They also really enjoyed watching the ballet and listening to the music.
Well done Primary 3; thank you for sharing your project with us!
