The weather may not have been kind to us on sports day but the children were great. Thanks to everyone who came to cheer the children on – and stayed despite the rain! We hope you enjoyed the strawberries and ice cream afterwards.
P3/4 had a brilliant visit to the new Gleneagles Arena for an amazing tennis coaching session with Judy Murray. Judy was joined by former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, Henri Leconte, Thomas Enqvist and Greg Rusedski – how lucky were our pupils. A great experience – thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Look out in the press for more photos!

Well done to all our pupils for a super Gala Week concert – you all looked and sounded great, and thank you to all thank you to all the families and friends who came along to watch.
Our football team won the final football festival of the year today. The team have had a great year, coming in first place in each of the four festivals – this resulted in them being awarded the Peter McAvoy trophy. Well done team, and thank you to Martin Shankland for all the coaching, thanks also to the volunteers who helped at the after-school football club and who drove the minibus for us.
The Parent Council have started this great fundraising idea:
Blackford Primary School Penny Mile
84,480 pennies laid next to each other will cover 1 mile
The Games Park to Comelyburn Farm is 1 mile
84,480 pennies is £844.80p
42,240 pennies, will cover ½ a mile
The Games Park to Blackford Primary School is ½ a mile
42,240 pennies is £422.40p
Please start collecting and hunting for pennies to help us with this summer’s ambitious fundraising idea. On Friday 27th May 2016 we hope to be able to lay over 80,000 pennies along Moray Street to cover a mile. If we succeed we will have raised over £800 for school… so collect your pennies to help us raise money for the school and see where our destination will be.
Miles – the Penny Boy will be in school to put pennies into up to the end of term – we hope that he might move to Tullibardine for the holidays!
We have ‘Penny Mile’ Stickers which you can stick onto a jar, tin or bottle, to remind you what you are collecting for and when we need the pennies back.
Use a recycled jar, tin or plastic bottle, stick on the sticker and help us reach our target of
A MILE of PENNIES.
Please bring us the pennies when your container is full. Thank you.
