a little country dancing from the P1s

Leave a comment

On Friday P1I went to Aberdeen to perform.

They had been working very hard to perfect their dance and when we saw it today we all thought they had. They all danced in groups of 8 and wore some very pretty kilts.

At the festival the judges commented on how they did. Some of the comments P1I got were

“Country dancing at its best.”

“Fantastic”

“We liked the trainers with the flashing blue flashing lights.”

And lots and lots more lovely comments. It was obvious they had worked very hard and represented Gordon Primary School beautifully.

Today they showed the whole school their dance; it must have been scary. They put their fears aside though and performed well.

Fairtrade Fortnight

Leave a comment

Foundation logoWhat is Fairtrade? Fairtrade is to help people in different countries who don’t get paid properly. We are trying to raise awareness about Fairtrade. Fairtrade fortnight is coming up soon on the 23rd– of February 2015 to the 8th– March . There will be a terrific treasure hunt and a lovely coffee evening and a magnificent mascot competition.

When we visited the p6/7 area two pupils said “The snacks are super yummy.” The Fairtrade organise fun things for the school to take part in and have a bit of fun, especially during Fairtrade Fortnight! Every Friday the p6/7 does a fairtrade tuck shop and most items are about 50p.

Each year the school has an election to decide the Fairtrade representatives who have meetings once a term with teachers at lunch time.

Gordon Primary football club has a good team of students from Gordon Primary School. Commonly about 13 people come to the club, but there used to be about 17 people who used to come to the club. Ecstatic Mr Lumsden can’t wait until spring so they can go down to the football pitch. The football club has a waiting list so no more people can sign up. The club is for pupils from P4 to P7. It starts at 4:00 and it finishes at 5:00. Gordon Primary is going to start a tournament at this school. The last tournament was in 2013 in August.

Nursery Investigate the World of Water

Leave a comment

On Friday the 17th of January 2015, the nursery children went on a trip to the secondary pond. Their project is about water . They went to the secondary pond to get ideas for their own pond.

The nursery children are making their own pond in their playing yard. In their pond they have put sticks, water, fish and ducks. (Not real ducks.) They put heavy logs and stones around it to stop them from falling in.

They learned that they need water to drink, to wash hands and to bath.

Since September jogging club has been underway on Thursday lunchtime. Ms Gilmore takes part in the jogging club. She says “ Its a REALLY good club to do because it’s great get outside and look at the beautiful scenery”.

The places that they usually jog to is the Huntly castle and the ski centre. Mrs Gilmore thinks the childrens favourite place to jog up to is the Huntly castle.

It lasts for half an hour so it’s not too long. There are about 40 students in the jogging club.

Alasdair (a student who takes part in jogging club) says that it’s extremely fun and exciting.

Sometimes if there is very bad weather then they cancel it. The students all meet up at the primary 6 and 7 area for the register.

Mrs Gilmore exclaims that it is an energetic, amazing and FUN club to take part in.
