Summer Fayre

Forgandenny Summer Fayre

Our summer fayre was held on 26th May at the school and was a huge success. We had face painting, sold home produce, games , cream teas, bottle stalls and a whole lot more. A huge thanks to all the parents, teachers, pupils and friends of the school who came along to help set up the stalls and make the day the success it was.

Thanks again from all at Forgandenny.

Sports Day

Sports Day is on Friday 10th June at 1.30pm at the Forgandenny field. This year will included some potted sports and class races. Refreshments (tea, coffe and juice) will be served in school after the events.

Orienteering finals

A huge well done to the P5-7’s who took place in the finals of the Perth and Kinross Orienteering championships at Scone today. Three teams from the school qualified for the finals following the qualifiers a few weeks ago. Today gave them the opportunity to compete against other finalists from around Perth and  although they did not win the event all the pupils had fun and completed the course in good times.

The Teams were:

Awesome Cool Kickers – Kirsten, Caitlin and Ailsa

DSJ – Donald, Struan and James

Supersonic Speeders – Amy, Joanna and Esther

Check out some of the pictures from the event.
