On Monday 14th March, pupils from Abernyte Primary began their 3 day Ski Trip.
Lucy (P2) reports:
“On Monday morning I awoke scared. It was the first time… in my life… that I was going skiing .The slops were big and long and it was scary at first. My instructor was called Cally. He was very nice. I went on Sunnyside. It was exciting for me. My skis were great on the snow. At last I got to go on the chair lift. It was one big height…I went on a green slope, blue slope, it was the best ever!”
To celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March, pupils brought in their favourite book to share with the class.
Pupils also listened to an extract from “The Deptford Mice: The Dark Portal” and created their own sea shanty based on “What shall we do with the drunken sailor?” for Jupiter’s rats to sing while they are working to dig their secret tunnel…

Abernyte Primary is now in it’s 10th year taking part in the RSPB’s Annual Birdwatch.
Lucy (P2) reports:
“We were watching birds. We saw crows, lots of robins and blue tits.”
Molly (P7) reports:
“Abernyte Primary School does the Big Schools Birdwatch annually. This year our teams were The Green Mossy Chicks and The Stripy Red Snakes. The people in The Green Mossy Chicks were Lucy6, Ellen, Anna and I. The people in The Stripy Red Snakes were Cara, Layla, Bea and Lucy2. This year was the 10th year Abernyte School has done the Birdwatch. Because it is the 10th year we made a big Robin and a Bluebird out of our hands.”
Molly reports:
“Abernyte P.S went to the schools gymnastics competition on the 9th of February 2016. At the gymnastics competition there were two teams. One of the teams did harder moves than the other team. When we got there we had to wait for the competition that was in the morning to finish.
While that was going on the more advanced team were warming up and practicing our routines. Once the competition that was going on had finished we were called up to preform our floor routine. We had to do our vault next, but we hadn’t ever done vault before so we got a little practice while everyone else was doing their floor routines. We did really well at our vault but sometimes we fell. When we were finished our vault the top three teams were announced. Unfortunately we didn’t get in the top three but we did come fifth.
While we were doing our vault the other group was warming up. Doing their routines and stretching. Then they were called up to do there floor routines and vault.”
Ellen reports:
“At Bell Sport Centre we had a gymnastics competition. We all got a routine then we practised it every week. A gymnastics coach came. She helped us. We had 2 teams: one team was in level 1 and the other team was in level 2. Layla, Bea, Anna and Lucy 2 where in level 1 and Cara, Molly, Lucy 6 and Ellen where in level 2. The level 2 team came 5th but we don’t know what place the level 1s came. There were too many levels 1s.
CREATIVE DAY OF DANCE
The day of dance is when each school choreographs a dance of their own, they can choose to dance to music that they want. We did a dance to 2 songs that were both English but sounded Scottish. We wore our gymnastic leotards and a white rag around our waists. When we got to Perth Concert Hall there were lots of people, we were on 13th so there were lots of dances to watch.

“It was BRILLIANT” said Molly and Lucy(P6).
Layla and Ellen said:
“We went to The Witches. Mr Billen and Ms Mackenzie came with us. We got to go to the front row because lots of schools could not come. In the interval we got ice cream or an ice lolly. The Witches was very amusing, sad and funny, even though the boy’s parents were sadly killed in a car crash – the road was slippy.”
