Armistice Centenary

Leave a comment

The children made wonderful artwork to help decorate the Hall for the 100th Anniversary of the ending of the First World War.

Throughout  the weekend the artwork was praised and commented on by a number of people in the community.

On Sunday at the War Memorial, one of our pupils read out a poem, which he had written, in front of the large crowd, who had gathered to remember the fallen.

Later on in the afternoon, children were invited to come along and play games to celebrate the ending of the War. A BIG THANK YOU to Mr Adrian Davidson who organised and ran these games. Winners received special memorial coins marking the Centenary.

Following on from this, the children took part in a candle lit parade to the Memorial and helped to remember each person, who died in the First World War , with a sparkler.

A BIG thank you to Walter Hanlon, who encouraged the children’s involvement in this special occasion.

After the Easter Service parents and children attended an Easter Fair in the Village Hall.

There, everyone could buy different crafts the children had made and other crafts for sale.There were also a lot of toys and books for sale too! Parents and grandparents were treated to teas/ coffee and home baking. An amazing £422 was raised which will go towards our school trip to St Andrews!

Thank you to everyone who donated books, toys and baking and to everyone who helped on the day. Also a big thank you to Mrs Geddes who gave a donation of her earnings from the fair too.

We had a lovely Easter Service with Reverend Perkins in Ardoch Church.

Each class took turns to sing a song about Spring or Easter. There were also readings on the Easter story and an acting out of this too.

There were also wonderful violin and guitar performances by some of the children. Thank you to Mrs Chalamanda and Mr Bulley who arranged this.

At the end there was the Easter Bonnet and Baking Competition. Congratulations to our winners and to al the children who took part in this!

Scottish Celebration

Leave a comment

On Friday 26 th. January the whole school came together for a Scottish  celebration afternoon.

Three winners from each class recited their Scottish poem in front of the whole school, Mums and Dads and grandparents. After these recitals, there was one winner from each class chosen by our judges, The Head Boy and Girl from Crieff High School.

While their decision was being made, the children sang Scottish songs, played Scottish music on violins and guitars. Parents were invited to make a small donation for shortbread and scones, made by the P7’s, for funds for their P7 trip later on in the year.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, our class winners and the overall winner of the Bobby Muir Cup!

A big thank you to our judges, Mrs Chalamanda and everyone who attended.

Book Week Scotland

Leave a comment

We have been involved in a range of activities this week for Book Week.

P6/7 have been busy asking staff about their favourite books when they were younger. They also joined up with P3/4/5 to watch the author Phil Earle in Author’s Live. P1/2 watched the author Kes Gray talk about the P2 book Quick Quack Quentin.

The children also had parents, grandparents and ex parents of the school reading to the children.

On Thursday the children could bring books along to read at a Book Lunch and today P3/4/5 read stories to Nursery and P1/2.

Thank you to everyone who came to the school and read to the children. Thank you to everyone for supporting this week by supplying books for the children to read at the Book Lunch and the pictures for the baby competitions, which were very enjoyable!
