On Wednesday, the 23rd of May, Markethill was host to a special sporting event, the Turriff local schools netball tournament! All the teams, Forgue, Monquitter and the two Markethill teams all showed very good sportsmanship and cooperated well and played great on the court. A special well done to Emil and Kirsty who put themselves forward to play Forgue’s team , who were short of two players. Eventually after many games of gripping netball , the results were announced. Coming in at 4th place was Monquitter shortly followed by Markethill 1 in 3rd place. Also coming in 2nd place was Markethill 2. It was such a tight race for first place but Forgue just snatched it and won the big prize for their school.  Well done to all the participants and especially well done to Forgue! 🙂 Above is a slide show of some of the pictures which were taken,  simply press the play button to see us in action! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Many schools and organisations around the world joined in….check back later this term to find out if the record was broken.Unfortunately the video was too big to post here but If you’d like to see it, click here. (Glow login required.) Thank you to Mrs Cruickshank and the P6 and P7 girls for helping us all to learn the dance.

Primary 4/6 and 4/7 opened up their classrooms to parents and carers on Friday to share their work on the Titanic. Click here to see more photos from the P4/6 exhibition.

Primary 7 bloggers need your entries to the comic strip competition by 18th May. Your comic strip can be about anything you like. It might be funny (your favourite joke maybe?) or it might just tell a story. Hand your entries to your class teacher. Fab prizes for the winners!

In maths this week Miss Bulloch’s class were busy making up surveys and going around the school to classses to fill them in. These surveys could consist of anything from asking about favourite pets to favourite food. Once they’d gathered their information, they counted up the results and displayed them in a tally chart. Some of the results were surprising for the class and now they know about the class which took part in each of their surveys.

Mrs Rankin’s class have been busy making replicas of life jackets as part of their titanic project. They have even been testing them out.

Primary 5/5 have been busy measuring the school then they will produce a map of the school. Also the primary one’s have been helping out by taking pictures for it.

The two primary five classes have been working very hard to aim to get the eco schools silver award. To get this far they have been doing a lot of recycling and telling people to turn off lights if they are not in the classroom. They made up some rules that will be posted up in evey classroom that every person will have to follow.  This is the motto that the three winners( Jacob, Finlay and Adam) designed!

Make our playgroung tidy

After you’re finished, put it in the bin

Remember don’t waste water

Keep on walking, don’t take take a car

Everyone switch off the lights

Turriff doesn’t need litterbugs

Happy schools are the best

If you can walk to school do it

Litter on the floor – not a good sight

Leaving lights on wastes energy
