Jubilee Celebrations
The nursery took part in celebrations for the queens jubilee. Children and staff dressed up in red, white and blue and wore crowns that they made themselves. They played party games, and enjoyed food and dancing. Parents were able to join in with the celebrations too. The nursery raised £110 for The Archie foundation.
Primary 1, 2 and 3 classes also wore royal outfits and crowns to celebrate the Jubilee. They all took part in a royal parade.
The Gordon Primary PTA generously gave every pupil in the school a Diamond Jubilee commemorative coin as lasting reminder of the Diamond Jubilee and their days at Gordon Primary. Thank you!
Litter pick!
Primary 7s had a very busy day today (12th June) clearing up rubbish from the Meadows. They were shocked at the amount of rubbish, and by the sort of things that people are thoughtlessly throwing away. As well as the normal glass and plastic bottles, food wrappers and containers they were surprised to find old electrical items, furniture and bikes had been thrown away instead of being disposed of properly.
They contacted the council, who came later in the day to remove the large piles of rubbish that they had collected.
Well done P7!
P7 Visit
The primary 7’s are taking a visit to the secondary, to get a feeling about what secondary is like.They will meet new people like the teachers they will have and other primary 7’s from local schools. Good luck guys and have fun!

sports day
Upper stages had their sports day on Monday the 11th of June 2012 and we did the sack race, football skills, obstacle courses, skipping, running and lots more courses.
In the afternoon all the classes did a fun races and the races were spoon and tatty, frog leap, 100m sprinting race, catch the train and a few more.
The team that won was Eagles, and close second was Ospreys, and third Kestrels and 4th was Falcons.
Sadly the lower stages did not get their sports day on the 12Th of June 2012. Hopefully they will be able to have their sports next week on the 19th.

GOTCHA!
A group of P6 and 7s will be ending their GOTCHA training with an adventure in the Bin forest on Thursday and Friday this week.
First they will use their map reading skills to make their way through the forest to their camping site. They will then camp overnight in the forest. Hopefully they will be able to use their campfire making skills to toast some marshmallows.
We hope the weather stays dry for them.
Whatever the weather, we are sure they will have a great time!
