We are delighted to report that all our Primary 1 pupils came into school very confidently on Tuesday and appear to have settled very quickly into class. We have 9 new pupils in Primary 1 and 2 other new pupils throughout the school. We hope everyone will be very happy with us at Forgandenny.
All classes were treated to a visit from Generation Science. Theworkshops delivered were excellent as usual and the children were all fully involved in their learning experiences. P1/2 were investigating forces as part of their Toys technology topic. P3/4 and P567 both had a workshop on Magnets and Energy.
Huge congratulations to P5-7 who represented the school in the Perth and Kinross Orienteering heats at Strathallan. They had a very successful day with 4 teams going through to the finals at Scone Palace at the end of May. A special congratulations to Joe, Morgan and Josh who came 1st in the competition out of 56 teams, in a course record time of 31 minutes & 51 seconds. Well done boys. We are all very proud of your efforts.
Thank you to all who attended our Christmas Carol Service last night in Forgandenny Church. The children sang wonderfully and it was lovely to have sucjh a lovely turn out. Thank you again to all those who helped make the evening a success. We would be very grateful for copies of any photographs from our parents.
Our Community Skills Exchange was a great success with members of the local community joining the children to teach them how to knit. The children taught the adults how to weave and much fun was had by all. We hope the ladies enjoyed the afternoon and really appreciate everybody who gave up their time to come into the school.
Our whole school visit to Stanley Mills was a great success and really got our topic started. All classes had the opportunity to discover for themselves life as a working child in the mill. They were also given time to investigate the exhibits and see some work from other schools in the area. We look forward to working with P&K cultural workers over the next few weeks and may even try some weaving.
The first i-bike venture got off to a great start. Everyone came in a wonderful array of bright colours and prizes were awarded to the brightest pupil in each class. Well done Mrs Henderson who won the prize for the brightest teacher. The purpose of the day was to raise awareness of the importance of dressing brightly when out and about on darker nights.
The children were treated to a bike trail in the playground with rumble strips and a bike limbo. Many thanks to Kelly for all her help on the day and to the i-bike crew for welcoming everyone so nicely and organising the event. Look out for our next event which will be on Hallowe’en with a ‘dress your bike’ theme.
Thank you to all those parents, staff and pupils who gave up their time after school to tidy the garden. What a difference an hour or 2 makes. Thank you to Amanda for organising the event and to Mrs Sinclair for her very kind donations of plants and flowers. All energies replaced by delicious home baking. If anyone would be interested to help in the future, please see Amanda or pop into the school and let us know.
Thank you to Mrs Galloway for organising our visit from Heather. Heather is a working paramedic in Perth and Kinross who spent the afternoon with us at Forgandenny. She spent time with each class answering questions, sharing her knowledge and equipment before showing the children in the back of the ambulance. Many thanks to Heather for her time.
