Welcome to our new blog. This online space will help us to share our learning with parents, carers and the wider world and will contain weblinks to support learning. Much of the content will be created by the pupils themselves, as they develop their digital skills and learn about staying safe online. We hope you enjoy finding out about what we get up to in school. Please check back often and leave us a comment. For the 2019-2025 blog and our Committee News site, click on the links under bookmarks on the right.

Garden sale and Celebration of Writing

Leave a reply

Today at lunchtime we opened up the polycrub to visitors for our annual plant sale. Lots of parents and community members came along to buy a variety of plants, grown by the children . If you missed out, there are lots of plants left, waiting to be snapped up. Pop in at drop off or pick up time  and have a look.

Next up today was our celebration of writing, supported by The Braemar Buzzard. Every child had pieces of writing on display  under the theme ‘ My Braemar’. Ernest and Andrew had been busy making fresh lemonade in the morning, and they offered still or fizzy drinks to our guests. Parents and visitors had an opportunity to try their hand at a fun writing task, whilst watching  a couple of episodes of Braemar TV. Fiona and Marilyn presented the children with a certificate, along with a 12 month subscription to First News children’s newspaper.  Thank you to everyone who came along to either event today, and a special thank you to Marilyn and Fiona for helping with the writing project.

This morning P4-7 took part in a taster session of Sooyang Do. They learned some basic moves and techniques and had great fun trying something new. Click here for a snippet of the session. In Assembly, we learned some interesting facts about the World Cup and spoke about Articles 2 and 31 of the UNCRC, linking the rights to our own playtimes. Then we danced to one of our favourite ‘Just Dance’ songs. The Nursery children joined in and followed the dance moves really well.

A busy few days!

Last Friday P5-7 went out in the village with PC Cain, to help carry out speed checks as a way of raising awareness of the 20mph limit. The children had a go at using the speed gun and then spoke to drivers who had been stopped. They had put together a letter to hand out, asking people to consider their speed when driving through our village.

On Tuesday 2nd, Bike School came along and worked with all the children from P1-P7, helping those who are beginners or non-riders develop their confidence, whilst giving everyone an opportunity to develop their cycling skills. The children’s comments were very positive and everyone is looking froward to them returning next Tuesday, 9th June. A wee reminder too that the Bike Clinic is in school on Tuesday 16th, should you wish to get your child’s bike checked over.
