PC Maclellan came to the primary 7 to talk about internet safety and cyber bullying on Friday 18th March 2016 . He is also coming to do a talk on drugs on Thursday 31st March 2016.
When PC Maclellan came to speak to primary 7 to talk about internet safety he asked us what we use internet for and if we have said anything nasty online. Then he showed us a video in which a 10 year old girl puts a sign up outside her house showing a picture of herself and her personal information: name, age, town etc.Then girls walk by and take a photo of her while laughing. Next a man called Simon enters the house and steals some of her private information and tries to talk to her. By the end of the video the girl finds out who Simon is and he gets arrested.
Next we got a sheet with questions we had to answer from what we learned in the video there were questions like why do we have privacy settings and what is a cyber bully.
Overall we found the talk very interesting and we learned allot we are all excited for his talk on drugs and we will hopefully learn allot.
Recently the Primary 1’s made Fat balls to raise money for them to go on a bus trip to Aberdeen Ballroom dancing and practice their Scottish Country Dancing. They had been practicing for weeks and were finally ready to perform a week ago. You could see that they had been practicing because they performed very well. Some of their parents came to visit their dancing, and I would be imagine they’d be very impressed with their children.

Unfortunately Mrs Harvey will be retiring on Friday the 1st of April. In the Upper stages we have seen her for over seven years and it is very depressing to see her leave. As there will be an assembly on Friday it’ll obviously be our last assembly seeing her.
We hope all the best for Mrs. Harvey when she leave us. It won’t be the same without her.

Primary one are holding a museum of old things that have come from own family members. It will be held in the small hall at Gordon Primary School on the thirty-first of March (Thursday). The Public will be charged twenty pence to come and visit. Gordon Primary School pupils are allowed to see it during school time for free. You will hopefully be directed by Prefects near the office if you are thinking of coming. It ends at 3’o clock. So Hurry!
Hopefully we’ll see you there!

Fairtrade Fortnight is well underway and pupils are enjoying some of the activities that have been organised by the global group.
Fairtrade Fortnight is a two week period stretching from the 29th of February to the 13th of March. It is to raise awareness for farmers in developing countries who do not get fair pay.
Because we are a Fairtrade school we decided to help and show our support to these farmers. We set up a breakfast snack table at break and we sold bananas and milk for 30p. We also set up a word treasure hunt for all pupils at Gordon Primary to have fun with.
13 letters are hidden around the school. Pupils should collect all the letters and unjumble them to make a word related to Fairtrade.
Primary 7 pupils were very lucky to get the opportunity to find out about willow weaving and have a go.
Linda Lemieux, who lives in the South of England, has been making and selling baskets and other artefacts from Willow and rush.
She came into Gordon Primary and worked with the p7 classes.
She taught the p7s how to make a fish out of a willow frame, with rush woven around it.
She showed us how to gently bend the willow so it didn’t snap.
She also took groups of pupil into the school grounds to search for supplies of willow.
Thank you Linda! It was a fascinating day.
