All this week the children have been voting for the staff members they would most like to see gunged today. They paid 20p to buy a sticker, which they stuck on a chart below the picture of the person they wanted to see covered in gunge. They voted in their droves and raised £100 for the P7 prom and school funds. Mrs Hepburn was the clear winner and voting for her had to be stopped by Wednesday so the pupils could decide who would be the second victim of the gunging. It was a close contest, but Mrs Doris narrowly took the lead when voting closed last night. Everyone had lots of fun watching each class representative pouring the gunge over their chosen victim. Both ladies were super sports and left school smelling strangely of custard!!!!
This morning we held a very special assembly to say goodbye to three well loved staff members who are hanging up their school shoes next week when they retire. We celebrated all the hard work put in by Mr Kennedy, Mrs Doris and Mrs Graham, as each class did their own special performance for them. There were lots of laughs and plenty of tears as we shared our special memories through, sketches, stories, poems and songs. Mrs Graham also treated everyone to a poem she had written in thanks. We wish them all the very best in the next stage of their lives and hope they know that we will all miss them very much.
The children in Primaries 5, 6 and 7 have been really busy rehearsing for their senior show, “Just Call Me The Pied Piper”. They had their dress rehearsal this morning and are all set to impress their friends and families when they take to the stage again tonight and tomorrow for their actual performances.
Dunrobin’s Junior Journalists had a visit from John Johnston just before the Easter break. John came out to visit us to talk to us about our blog and even took time to pose for a photo with us. The children were delighted to meet the star of the Blogging Bootcamp Glow Meets!
After a few weeks of working hard to write interesting articles and make fun quizzes, we have published our first ever edition of the new Dunrobin magazine, “2 Cool 4 School”. It has been flying off the shelves, with orders for almost 100 copies!
We hope you enjoy reading it and we’re looking forward to starting work on our next edition after the Easter holidays.
Our Junior Journalists have been working hard to create our first edition of our school magazine. They are creating interesting articles about the learning in each class, any visitors we have had to the school and some children are even writing stories and comic strips to entertain you. We don’t yet have a name for our magazine, so if you have any ideas, please let us know!
First Dunrobin News – Two of our Junior Journalists have made their first news report, which they have edited by themselves. A big thanks to our anchorman for introducing the items!
This week, some of the children from Primaries 4 – 7 in Dunrobin Primary School became members of an exciting new after schools club – Junior Journalists. Our journalists are working hard to produce a school magazine and a news channel, where they will film and edit news reports and upload them to Glow. We’re looking forward to seeing our first magazine in print!
