On Friday the 8th of June, all the P7s got their hoodies. Over a period of a few months we have raised money by doing lots of activities in school, such as toast ,face painting, crazy hair and more. A few weeks ago all the P7s picked what colour of hoodie they wanted, and what name they wanted on it. The most popular colour of hoodies were grey, green and navy. We are all very pleased with our hoodies. We are allowed to wear them at Loch Insh , the last week of term, out of school and the Dress Down Friday. We are NOT allowed to wear them in the school or the school grounds at other times.

Also we are going to sell tea towels with the small pictures of yourself that you drew a while ago, and we hope to get the tea towels arranged by Wednesday this week.
