Slow Marathon!!!
P1 to P5 took part in the Slow Marathon.
277 people walked around the field today.
We all walked round the field in silence.
Then we went to the all weather pitch and made the word SLOW.
Mihret,Ross and Norma Hunter from Deveron Arts helped us spell the word.
A photographer called Jan took a photo from the school playground which we hope to put on this blog soon.
Altogether each person walked 1319 metres.
The grand total that we walked was 227 miles.

Fairtrade visit
Gordon Primary received a visit from Mr Khembo, who works on a Sugar Cane farm in Malawi.
Mr Khembo told us how Fairtrade has helped him and his community. Because of Fairtrade his village has clean water, the children have better education, housing is better and they have been able to buy bicycle buses. He asked pupils to help Fairtrade farmers by buying Fair-trade products whenever possible. He also suggested that our school uniform could be made using fair-trade cotton.
Slow Marathon
Primary 4 joined in with the Slow Marathon (organised by Deveron Arts) by walking down the Avenue and around the Hill of Haugh several times before returning to school. The walk covered a mile, and as 53 people took part they were able to contribute 53 miles to the Slow Marathon, bringing the grand total of miles donated to 5,703 now!
On Thursday p1-5 will all take part in the Slow Marathon together, walking around the playing fields.

Help! I want my mummy!
Pupils who attend Scripture Union club recently had fun when they turned each other into mummies!
Who’s That Trip-trapping over my Bridge?!
The nursery recently made some scary masks as part of their literacy. They used them to retell the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Fairtrade Footsteps
As you may know Gordon Primary is now a Fairtrade School from last year. but we have to continue being a Fair Trade school because we want to continue helping Fair Trade and to persuade other our pupils to buy Fair Trade products.
The Fairtrade feet are coming in very fast. They’re now going straight through the hall!! So far there are about 250 and more are coming everyday and there are even some peoples pet’s foot steps too!!!
Thank you to everyone who bought in a footprint.

School Bank
Hi just a reminder about the school bank. This year p7s are running it. The school bank is a good place for saving up for special occasions or when you are older. The school bank runs every Wednesday.

Rockets!
Both Primary 4’s classes recently completed a homework task to design a Space vehicle using recycled materials at home.
P4’s really rallied to the challenge, and produced models of a high standard. They made imaginative use of recycled materials; one rocket was even made using a toilet seat!
These have been displayed in the glass corridor, before winging their way back home!
