Cross Country at Scone Racecourse
Well done to all the P5-7 who took part in the Perth and Kinross inter school cross country championships on Tuesday 19th 2013. The children had a stunning day for the race and throughly enjoyed the event. There next event for the class is the orienteering championships at the end of March so hopefully the children will keep running to be prepared for the day. Check out some of the pictures below.
Happy Birthday Mr Donnachie!
Mr Donnachie reached a milestone age yesterday. We would all like to wish him a very happy birthday and hope he celebrates in style.
Christmas Carol Service
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.
Community Skills Exchange
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 Visit to Stanley Mills
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.
‘Wear it Bright Day’ is a huge success
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.
Paramedic visit
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.
RAF Search and Rescue visit
We had a wonderful surprise in store for our Forgandenny Primary pupils yesterday. After a walk to the Angus family farm, the children were treated to a very rare experience as an RAF Search and Rescue Sea King helicopter landed in front of them. Pupils were then treated to a tour of the helicopter, talks from the crew and even a turn in the cockpit! Thank you so much to Squadron Leader Mick Cross and his team for making our day so memorable. I am sure it is an experience that will live with the children for a very long time. Thank you also to Mr Angus for allowing us to use his field for the visit and to Mrs Lowe for organising the whole day.
