This Saturday saw children from all 8 Forres ASG Primary Schools compete at Grant Park for Cross Country glory.  A dry but very cold morning did not deter about 90 P4-7 children and spectators from turning out.
The races were very exciting to watch, with the P4/5 age group running around an undulating 3/4 mile course and the P6/7 age group covering approximately a mile and a half.
Applegrove gained individual placings for Kelsey Martin 1st, Lewis Mackenzie 3rd, David Spencer 1st, Bruce Evans 2nd and Scott Perry 3rd. There were many fine runs from the Applegrove children and some were competing for the very first time.  Applegrove managed to win the overall winners trophy for the fourth year in a row, having scored 1150 points. Andersons Primary were only two points behind with 1148 points!  A very close result!
As results were announced,  Applegrove showed great team spirit, applauding all results and receiving the trophy as gracious winners.
We are very proud of all who represented Applegrove on Saturday.
A special mention must go to David Spencer. His fine tactical race on Saturday is testament to his dedication and loyalty to all training opportunities. David has been a member of the school running club and Forres Harriers for four years. Keep up the good work David!
Full results can be found on the Forres Harriers web page.

David Spencer coming into the finish to claim first place in the P6/7 boys race, followed by team mate, Bruce Evans for 2nd place.

This term P2 have been busy looking at how we use water and electricity in our everyday lives. The children have enjoyed the various activities  related to our learning context.

Ice, water vapour and liquid water have all been part of our learning activities. When singing and using instruments in music we have learned about H2O, whether showers or baths are better and what lives in salty water as well as fresh!

In recent weeks we have looked at life with and without electricity. Most children are glad they have electricity as life seemed very hard without it.
