Trying out a new resource- Pupil Council


At today’s committee session, the Pupil Council had the opportunity to try out a new resource. It has been created by local lady Jenny Gow, to help school children understand about stomas. Our school has been asked to provide feedback to the creators, before it is shared with a wider audience. They investigated the contents of the pack, which included lesson plans for a variety of age groups, a game, colouring pages, a Buttony Bear soft toy and a lovely illustrated picture book. They gave very thoughtful feedback, which we shall pass on to Jenny and her team. Further information about the Buttony Bear charity can be found here.

Mobile Art School, 12th March 2026

Thank you to everyone who came along to watch the children’s masks being installed at Braemar Kirk this afternoon. We have had a fantastic day, working with the artist Thomas J Price, along with staff and students from Gray’s School of Art. Lots of photos of the day on the Sway link below.

The display will be in place all weekend and masks will come home next week.

P4/5/6/7 Sharing our opinion

On Wednesday we had visitors to our class from Marr Area Partnership and Action for a Fairer World. The reason for their visit was to ask for children’s views and opinions on Braemar, which will be shared with the Community Council and contribute towards the Community Action Plan.

RHS Level 5 Award

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

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!
