Liam Davie comes to Braco!!
Today we were joined by British Gymnast- Liam Davie! Liam won a Silver Medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and is hoping to do the same in 2018.
First of all the whole school took part in a fitness circuit….even the teachers!
After this Liam told us all about his life and what it takes to be a gymnast.
Liam let the children ask him questions and he was impressed by the questions.
His final piece was to show us two backwards somersaults!!
The children who raised money got a poster or postcard or a picture with Liam!
It was a fantastic morning and over £700 was raised by the children.
Liam commented on how Braco was the best school he had visited around Scotland!

St Andrew’s Mobile Planetarium
On Friday the 24th. June, 2016 the Mobile Planetarium came to the Village Hall.
All the classes, including Nursery, were able to go inside this marvellous dome and discover facts abut the constellations and about the planets in the sky at the present time.
The two volunteers from St Andrew’s had a wealth of knowledge and they held a question session at the end and they were asked some challenging questions by the chilfren.
Thank you to the volunteers from St Andrews and the Parent Council who helped to pay for this experience.
Nursery Graduation
On Wednesday 29th June, seven children graduated from Nursery to Primary One.
A special ceremony took place in the Village Hall. Mums and Dads and the whole school came to see the graduation ceremony. We were also treated to songs on their topic, Space.
P6’s gave the children some advice about going into Primary 1.
Mrs Dawson and Mrs Russell presented the children with their certificates!
Well done Nursery…..See you next year!
