End of term.

During this week, as it is the last week there will be end of term assemblies, the p7s are away at Glenshee until Thursday and teachers are meeting their new classes.

The nursery enjoyed a fun day last Wednesday, with a fascinating visit from Mr Bug. They saw and got to handle many creatures including a snake and a giant tortoise. This was followed by a great time bouncing on the inflatable snake!

Both Primary 4 classes enjoyed having a fun session at the swimming pool today (26th June) and on Wednesday they will have a walk along the Deveron followed by a picnic and a play in the park.

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.

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!
