While walking along the River Deveron, Mrs Sell’s walking hobbies group were very lucky to meet this very friendly heron. It didn’t seem worried at all by the closeness of the group, despite all the chattering and noise!

What are V.C.O.P.s?
V.C.O.P.s help you to improve your writing
V is for Vocabulary
C is for Connective
O is for Openers
P is for Punctuation
All the classes in the school now use V.C.O.P.s!
There are pyramids that you can use to help you with…
Vocabulary’s, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation.
Classes in the school are now doing Big Writing which is where you use V.C.O.P.s to do your writing (it is not where you write with huge letters!)

SSPCA Talk
Pupils from Gordon Primary School found out about the work of the SSPCA last week.
Kenneth, an officer of the society, told us if we see someone being cruel to an animal or an animal in danger or abandoned to tell the SSPCA on this number 03000 999 999 .
If you see a wild animal in trouble you should tell an adult, or phone the SSPCA, instead of disturbing it. He also told us to put our rubbish in the bin because a lot of animals have been injured by litter, such as empty bottles and carrier bags that people throw away carelessly.
This is a web link so you can have a look of some of the animals.
