Markethill Primary School helped raise money for Red Nose Day 2011. We had a wear something funny for money day and everyone brought in something red for their head. There were word searches and design a red nose competition. Some boys decided to dress as girls and some people dressed up as cartoon characters or others just put on casual clothes. They raised £1511.64 for children & adults in poorer countries who need money for their health and their life style. 560 Pupils participated in the giant Red Nose outside on the Markethill grass. The Turriff Advertiser got photos of Markethill’s giant red nose outside on the grass.

Primary 6-7/19 have been doing the V.I.B as our topic which is about Buddy the bear and we have to make movies with him. We have been filming for a few months now. At the end of term we are having an Oscar Night to show our movies and trophys will be awarded to the different groups for our different movies. The catagories for awards are Best Scenery, Best Actor, Best Music, Best Screenplay and Animation all of those will be decided before the event. On the night the audience will get to vote on the Funniest Clip and at the end of the night all the points will be tallyed up and the group with the most votes will win the overall Best Movie. On the night there will be Tea, Coffee, Juice and Popcorn on sale. We are hoping that each class member will get 5 tickets each for their parents so not only the class members will see but every class members relatives can come and see them aswell.   The Oscar night will be held on the 27th of April.  It will hopefully be a good night.   By Jordan
