Today the whole school was invited to take part in the Spelling Bee competition. Lots of the children took up the challenge and by doing so earned points for their House. We definitely have plenty of confident individuals at Braco School-well done!
In the end there was a winner from each class and an overall winner for the Junior classes and Senior classes. Congratulations to all our winners and once again a BIG WELL DONE for everyone who took part!
Today the whole school attended the War Memorial in the village.
The P7’s spoke at the memorial and we all observed a minute silence.
Today the school launched our new Houses with a House Party.
Each House has two House Captains. all the children were then allocated the house that they were going to be in for the year.
Today they started off the competition with a Dance Party using the Wii. Everybody that moved along to the music earned points for their House.
We finished off with some party snacks!
Congratulations to all our new members of the Pupil Council!
Any child who wanted to be a member had to have a short interview with Mrs Dawson and Mrs Ross before they were selected. Unfortunately not everyone who applied could be chosen.
Congratulations to all those who were selected!
Congratulations to all our new prefects!
They have already demonstrated how helpful and kind they are by helping the new P1s and helping out in the playground and around the school.
This week should see our new App going live to parents. If you have an i-phone, i-pad or any tablet, download our new app and receive messages and news from the school.
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!
Thank you to everyone who came along to our summer show and our Celebration of Achievements Evening!
The children were absolutely fantastic in their performance of their show Go for Gold! – A few budding actors and actresses to keep an eye out for in the future! Well done to all the children!!
This was followed by our special achievement awards for Responsible Citizen, Successful Learner, Confident Individual, Effective Contributor, The Joyce Armit Quaich, the Speakman Cup for Sport and Best Improved Reader.
Well done to all our winners!!
Enjoy the photos!

The whole school and Greenloaning School went on a fabulous trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park on Friday 17th. June, 2016.
First we went on a safari on the bus then the classes split up and did different activities. This included a trip on a boat to Monkey Island, the Pet Zoo, the Adventure Playground, the Flying Fox and the Sea lion Show.
Can we say a BIG THANK YOU to all the parent helpers who came along and supported us on the day and to the Parent Council who paid for the buses!
