Values in Action – Kindness
We are so proud of Ellie in P5B who had an amazing 10 inches cut off her hair and donated this to the Little Princess Trust.
It is lovely to hear of our children demonstrating our school values and thinking of others.
Well done Ellie!

Well done to her little brother Liam too who also plays a starring role 🙂
Friday Quiz
Is Friday night family quiz night in your house? If it is, here is an extra special round presented by Judy Murray especially for us at Gargieston. Thank you to Mrs Green for organising this.
Watch the video from Judy and see how many questions you get correct. I will post the answers in the comments (no cheating!!)
What a lovely way to round off our whole school Scottish focus. This week has been fabulous with our daily Scottish sing-a-long with Mr Hay, Scots poetry and some fabulous creative tasks as part of your remote learning. I have also enjoyed hosting fun live Scottish quizzes with our Primary 5, 6 & 7 classes on Teams this week too.
Take care, stay safe and have a lovely weekend 🙂
