Mark Inglis visited Gordon Primary on Friday 11th of November and spoke to P4 to P7 pupils .
He told them how he lost his legs at 23-years-old due to frostbite, but how that didnt stop him from going on to be the only double amputee to have stood on the roof of the world, the summit of Mount Everest.
“We learnt that if we really want to do something, we can do it, if we really try,” said Lucas in P4A.
The school have been helping to improve their local environment this week. Working with Friends of the Market Muir, Primary 5 have been planting bulbs. Primary 5 pupils helped to plant 6000 crocus bulbs and 2700 daffodils at the Market Muir and along King George V Avenue.
Other classes have been planting trees at Battlehill.
Everyone will be able to enjoy the results of their work for years to come .
A group of about 40 energetic P5 to 7’s have been enjoying jogging on Tuesday lunchtimes led by Ms Conn, Mr Gray, Mr Wood, Mrs McInnes and other staff. After a warm up, they jog down to the Deveron and run a few laps around the Hill of Haugh, before returning to school. a group of particularly keen joggers have been running around the Castle Hotel. Joggers are hoping to participate in some running event later next year.
All participants have noticed that their stamina has improved since they started.
