Can we  request that dogs are not brought into the school grounds (even if they are on leads)? This is school policy. If you bring a dog when you drop off, or pick up children you will need to wait outside the school boundary. Many thanks for you cooperation.

Well done to all the skiers who made it back on Friday. We had a super week and were very lucky to enjoy the snow before the thaw! Mrs Maclennan was very proud when one of the instructors commented on how polite and respectful the pupils had been…. and you all learned to ski! Thank you all for a super week.

Many thanks to Mrs Donald and Mr MacIntosh for giving up their own time to come on the trip and for being so helpful during the week. We couldn’t go to Abernethy  without extra volunteers so it was much appreciated by pupils and staff.

Some more photos of all the fun

The pupils had a great time today at the Lecht. The conditions were excellent – no wind and not too cold. By the end of the day everyone could manage to get up the lift and down the slope (without too many falls!)  A great evening with a quiz and lots of birthday cake! Happy Birthday Ellie!

Update – Monday 10pm

All the children arrived safe and sound at the Abernethy Centre.  After unpacking they went to be kitted out with ski-boots, ski’s and helmets.  Then they played Trading the Haggis which meant a lot of running and hiding and a team game in the sports hall.  Next, all the children went to ski on the dry ski slope – some for the very first time!  As if that was not enough, they then went swimming.  We had a lovely dinner in the dining room and played a getting to know you game with children from Portessie, Findochty and Portgordon.  The day finished with all of us gathering in the theatre for ‘Explore’. Children exhausted  and  fast asleep – mission accomplished!

We would all like to wish pupils and parents a very happy new year. We hope you all had a good Christmas Break.

What does one term’s worth of lost property look like…..

This , with names on

And with no names….

It is such a shame that so much good quality clothing is left unclaimed at the end of term. Please make sure all clothing is named for the new term in January. It is easy to deliver lost property back to children if it has a name on it. Reminder to skiers  to name all your items such as gloves, goggles etc. !
