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.sdc12073 sdc12074 sdc12075 sdc12078 sdc12079 sdc12080 sdc12082.sdc12077

 

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!

Braco Pyjama Walk for Sports Relief

UPDATE- We raised £774.45 through sponsorship money.  A P1 child also raised a further £50 through his Gift Page. Also the people who ticked the Gift Aid box on the sponsor form, will enable Sports Relief to claim another £98 from the Government. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved!

On Friday the 18th March, the whole school walked around the Castle Drive in their pyjamas.

On  return they got warm with a well deserved hot drink!

Thank you to all the people who sponsored the children to do this for such a worthy cause.

The amount raised will be put on the website when all the money is in.

Thank you to the Health Committee who arranged this.
