Bike Week
The children were encouraged to cycle or scooter to school this week.
For this they had the chance to win a little prize for cycling to school by finding a golden ticket on their bicycle.
Well done to everyone who took part.
Our New Prefects
Congratulations to our new prefects for 2019-2020!
We are confident you will do a wonderful job!
Scottish Celebration Afternoon.
On Rabbie Burns birthday, the whole school came together to celebrate this special day.
Each class performed songs or in the case of P6/7 , taught us new Scottish words. We also had the pleasure of listening to our marvellous P7’s playing violins.
We had our annual Scottish Poem competition. Congratulations to all the children who represented their class in the poetry competition and our overall Bobby Muir Cup winner! A BIG THANK YOU to our judges who had a very difficult decision in judging all our brilliant finalists.
Christmas Events
Once again we had a number of events for everyone to enjoy.
These included the Christmas dinner, the trip to the Pantomime, The Nativity, The Christmas Quiz, The Christmas Party and finally the Christmas Service.
Thank you to everyone who helped out, contributed and came along to the different events!
Armistice Centenary
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.
Our Harvest Service
We held our end of term service in the Village Hall yesterday and this was followed by The Macmillan Coffee Morning.
Parents and Grandparents were entertained as each class from Nursery to P7, sang songs with a Harvest/Autumn theme. P7 did readings and Rev Perkins joined us as well to talk about this special time of the year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed baking. Thank you to all parents as well who contributed money for their children to have cake and juice.
Easter Service
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!
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.
Harvest Service
On our final day of this term, the whole school attended a service in the church to celebrate Harvest.
Reverend Perkins led the service and she was joined by all the classes singing songs, doing readings and poems.
Mrs Dawson thanked everyone for coming and for donating food to the Food Bank in Stirling (Start Up Stirling).
Mrs Rogers was also presented with flowers before leaving us to go on Maternity Leave.
