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.

Mrs McGowan is starting a lunchtime club giving pupils a chance to either read with a partner or just enjoy the peace to read by themselves.
Lots of keen readers have sighed up for it!

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.
