P7 at Portland Bowling Club

What a good time Primary 7 had at their first week of bowling at Portland Bowling Club. The members kindly gave up their time to share their knowledge with the children, who quickly realised it’s not as easy as it looks! Two more sessions to go – fingers crossed for the continued good weather.

Even with all the rain (and some of the children being up at 6.15 am this morning!!) Mr Smith and Mrs Bloomfield have been in touch to say all is well!

Mr Smith and Mr Johnston took one group abseiling and Mrs Bloomfield was mountain biking with the others. Also lovely to hear that the children are being a credit to the school.

Fingers crossed for some sunshine tomorrow!

Primary 3 at Dance Fest

Huge congratulations to the group of Primary 3 children who performed in The Grand Hall at Dance Fest this week. They had rehearsed hard and their enthusiasm was clear for all to see during their performance. So proud of you all! A big thank you to Emma Dickson in Primary 7 who helped train the group and was with them every step of the way on the night doing everything from their make-up and hair, to calming their nerves.

Do You Know Your Rights?

As a part of our hard work on Rights Respecting Schools we have now covered many of the United Nation ‘rights’ in school. We are currently working towards achieving our silver award! Why not share your learning at home or ask your parents to discuss some of the rights we have yet to learn?

Attached below is a copy of the ‘Child Friendly Rights’ – hi-lighted in yellow are the rights we have covered in school.  Now let’s try to learn EVERY right!

As a part of Global Citizenship week Base 3 have been studying Fairtrade!

We know that Fairtrade means giving producers a fair price for their hard work. We have been working in school to bring attention to Fairtrade in Gargieston!
