Pupils in primary 5,6 and 7 have been working hard on their play leader skills. Today they were assessed by Michael from Active Schools and passed! Well done to you all, we look forward to seeing you lead playground games in the near future 😎

Pupils in primary 4,5,6 and 7 have enjoyed four weeks of rugby coaching from Deeside Rugby Development Officer, Finlay. They learned new skills for touch and tag rugby, all showing great effort and teamwork.

Deeside Rugby hold training sessions on Saturday mornings Banchory. If you would like more info on how your child can get involved please let us know!

On Tuesday P5/6/7 Mr and Mrs Brat visited the class to share their knowledge of Jacobites, and more specifically Highland Life in the 18th Century. They shared interesting facts, stories, and brought memorabilia to look at. The class asked lots of questions and some even got to dress in traditional highland dress, as it would have been worn back then.

In Zone Time this week Ella and Lucas choose to focus on the meta skill ‘Curiosity’ by conducting a chemistry experiment on starch. Charlotte has been ‘Adapting’, as she made different consistencies and colours of cloud dough.

We hope you all have a lovely Easter, fingers crossed for some sunshine! ☀️ 🐣
