Book Week Scotland

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!

 

 

I Bike Breakfast

On Friday, 3rd. November, Robyn Warburton and Dr Bike from Comrie Croft came to Braco Primary to promote cycling to school.

Everyone was invited to come along, if they wished, to a Breakfast run by Sustrans. Children were also offered the chance to have their bike checked over by Dr Bike.

In class Robyn held a short Get Together about her work and how she wants the children to be more interested in promoting cycling, walking even riding scooters to school. She will be returning again to help run another event.

Thanks to Robyn and the Comrie Crew for arranging this for the school.

 

Nursery Graduation

Today  at 11am it was the Nursery Graduation!

Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpas all came to the Village Hall to see the Nursery Graduating!

Nursery performed songs to everyone and the P1-7 sang songs to the Nursery children.

The P6’s, who will  next year be the new P1 buddies, gave the children some advice about starting Primary 1.

Then there was a fabulous presentation of all the learning Nursery have been doing over the last two years.

Mrs Fridge then presented the Nursery children with their graduating certificates!

To show her appreciation of all the Nursery staff, Mrs Dawson presented flowers to all the staff.

 

Family Cycle Event

On Friday 2nd. June, parents, children and staff had a lovely time cycling around the Castle Drive. The sun kept shining, which made it even better!

Afterwards, Mrs Fridge from Nursery had organised a cake stall to raise funds for Nursery to buy balance bikes.

This event was arranged by Emily Greaves the Sport Co-ordinator for the Crieff cluster of schools. Thanks to Emily and all of those who took part in the event!

 

Our French and German Morning

On the last day of term just before the Easter holidays, the whole school invited parents along to find out out what the children had been learning in French and German.

Parents watched videos, which the classes had made, showing songs and games they use to help them learn new vocabulary.

Everyone then joined together to have a selection of French and German foods for their breakfast. Thank you to Mrs Chalamanda who came along and made delicious waffles!

The morning ended with the children singing a few songs in French and German to the parents.

A wonderful morning to start us on our holidays!
