PC Cain visit to Room 2

Leave a reply

Today we had a visit from our local police officer PC Cain. In the playground she showed us her police car, the important things she carries in the boot such as a broom and traffic cones and she also put the siren on. It was very loud! After that we went to the hall and tried on some pieces of police uniform.  We had so much fun trying on coats, hats, vest and learned about why she carries handcuffs, radio and a baton.  This visit concludes our IDL topic: People who help us.  Thank you PC Cain!

RHS Level 5 Award

Leave a reply

We were delighted to receive our RHS Level 5 Award this morning from the RHS Schools Gardening Programme. As well as a certificate, digital badge and a sign for the garden, we received a selection of seeds and £150 of garden vouchers. We will let you know in the coming weeks how the children plan to spend their vouchers to support next season’s gardening.

Well done to all the children involved in Garden Club and to those who helped to keep the polycrub watered over the summer.

Peter Mackay visit

Leave a reply

This afternoon P5-7 had a visit from Scotland’s Makar, Peter Mackay, as part of Braemar Literary Festival. We asked him about his role as Makar, about his poetry and also asked about Gaelic, as we have just started learning Gaelic in class. He shared some of his poems with us and we made up a funny story together about a spooky house in the woods. After he left, we wrote poems about Biscoff biscuits!
