Olympic Torch Run

Posted on by

 

On Tuesday 26th June,  Ciara Ennis, one of the Olympic torch bearers came to Gordon Primary with her torch.

Pupils were asked to donate £2, if they wanted to have their photos taken holding the olympic torch.  “It was very exciting,” said Tasmin from P4a, “because it is the first time I have seen an olympic torch in my life.”

The whole school (apart from P7s ,who are at Glenshee) then took part in a lap around the school playing field behind Ciara who was holding the Olympic Torch.

The money collected from the photographs will be donated to school funds.

Thank you Ciara!

On Thursday the Olympic torch came to Gordon primary.   Jamie Law and Angela Shearer, Olympic Torch bearers, came with the Olympic torch and told us how they got nominated for holding it.

Angela got nominated by Graham Esson who owns  Costcutter in Huntly because she of her work organizing  the Relay for Life for cancer research UK because she lots her granny and a good friend to cancer .

Jamie got nominated by someone who worked in a hospital because Jamie had a stroke. He told us how excited he was at carrying and how proud he was when he was walking with the torch.

Angela and Jamie told us they felt very felt lucky and honoured to be chosen and they would always remember the experience. They said they would put the torch in a special place and pass it on to their children.

Litter pick!

Posted on by

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!

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!

Posted on by

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!
