We had a fantastic graduation afternoon yesterday with our P7 pupils, parents, friends and members of the community.
It started off with a wonderful rendition of ‘Hold Back The River’ where the pupils sang their hearts out.
We watched their hilarious video perfomance ‘Songs in the Real Life’ and their ‘Back to The Future’ Memories Sketch.
Next was the pupil’s own ‘ Oscar Awards Ceremony’
Then lots of ‘ahhs’ as we looked at photos from P1 and P7 of each pupil during the ‘Forever Young’ Photo Presentation
The Movie Theme Dance Off was full of energy and the jury is out on who really won. Boys? Girls? Here are a selection of photos from the dances –
All pupils were then presented with a personalised certificate of achievement by Ms Brunton (P7 teacher) and Mrs Charles (P6/7 teacher).

The cup names and reasons for being awarded are as follows – Moore Cup (Successful Learner), Lynsey Henderson Cup (Effective Contributor), Scottish Water Solutions Cup (Responsible Citizen), Joan Matthews Cup (Confident Individual), Botterills Cup (Outstanding Sports Person) and Auchengeich Memorial Cup (Exceptional Team Player).

We also had the pupils who won 2nd and 3rd in this competiton. All three pupils received a certificate and their art work is on display in the reception area.
Our Infant Choir rounded off a great event by singing three songs “The Banana Song’, ‘Frozen In Summer’ and ‘Never Miss A Beat’.
Then it was time to relax with family and friends with a wee glass of fizz (Shloer!) and some lovely truffles hand made in our learning kitchen.

Our gardening leadership academy focused on litter picking, weeding and watering the plants. They wanted to make sure our school gardens were ready looking good for our nursery and P7 graduations.
16 June 2015
Mrs Martin taught our cooking leaders how to make chocolate truffles for the P7 graduation. Ms Kelly supported Mrs Martin in the learning kitchen as the pupils melted chocolate, bashed biscuits and mixed them together with coconut. The pupils mixed the ingredients together, used their hands to roll them into balls then coated them in chocolate. Once completed, the truffles were placed on a tray and placed in the fridge, ready for the big day!
Mrs Barrington worked with the rest of the pupils on three tasks related to the official launch of our learning kitchen next session. The tasks were to design an invitation for the official launch of the learning kitchen , to create a buffet menu that the cooking leadership academy could make and to plan the events for the opening. Sophie had some super ideas for the last task and is showing the skills of an event manager in the making!
We are looking forward to our special P7 event this afternoon. The graduation will start at 1.30pm. Please line up at the left door main entrance and we will get you in to the hall as soon as we have cleared up from lunch time.
Tea and coffee will be available on arrival.
Our P7 pupils will impress you today with their talents in singing, acting and dancing.
We will then present all pupils with a certificate of achievement and the six school cups. All school staff have voted for the pupils they feel are worthy of receiving the school cups. We will announce the winners of our school cups for the most successful learner, effective contributor, responsible citizen, confident individual, outstanding sports person and exceptional team player. There will be a very special presentation from the Robert Burns World Federation to our 3 fantastic artists who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in a national competition.
Our infant choir will finish off the graduation with 3 songs before the P7 graduates join their family in the hall for light refreshments and photos. We had hoped to finish the graduation in the community garden but the Met office forecast today is cloudy with light showers 🙁
We look forward to seeing you this afternoon on this memorable occasion!
Our P7 pupils spent a few lovely hours together tonight dancing, chatting and enjoying each others’ company. One of our parents, Mr McClean, was the DJ for the night. Here are some snaps of the pupils dancing the night away. Mr McClean was very impressed with their dance routines. Ms Scott and Ms Brunton have taught them well!
Alex Graham Caterers provided burgers, chips and ice cream and pupils were given drinks of their choice.
Thank you to Ms Brunton, Mrs Charles, Mrs Patrick and Mrs Martin for their help in preparing for the event and supporting it tonight.
