On Friday the 29th of September we invited parents and guardians to our school for a harvest lunch .We all served a table each then we would go get it for them and offer them a drink or anything else they would like. We had a donation box for the foodbank in Banchory we raised £200. It all went to the Banchory foodbank. We picked the apples and brambles from the school grounds we cooked the sweets. Some people that didn’t get to help pick got to help the p1,2,3 cook the soups.Everyone enjoyed their food. By Nicole

Hopscotch is a traveling  theatre group that came to Ballater  school. Their play was about the Rights of the child and why they are  important.  One of  the  characters is Ryan who thought if he had no rights he would think it would be great but he was wrong. He had to work in a shoe factory and got a cut finger.He got £1.50 and the paid  bandage witch is £1.50 so he got no money at the end of the day. The he got his rights back and told his friend how important the rights are.

My opinion is that it was very good and I am happy children in this country have rights and don’t work. By Kate

The p123’s and some of the p6/7’s made soup.The p6/7s were waiters and waitresses and Mrs Duckworth was at the serving place and we raised £200 for Aberdeenshire South Foodbank.     By Findlay

In p6/7 we have been learning how to take good notes as homework and writing about it in class. We have done 3 pieces of writing to do with our notes. We have also written 2 imaginative pieces of writing.The information pieces were about harvest, Roald Dahl and one of your choice. We all had different choices of subject. One of the imaginative pieces of writing was about a busker and his pet dog who both moved out of the city and into the countryside.
