Parent and Child Lunch
Primary 1 enjoyed their first lunch in school today with their Mummies and Daddies. They managed very well with the new routine and nearly all had clean plates! We hope they will enjoy their full days in school. The buddies will be on hand to help them in the lunch hall until October. Many thanks to Ms Lyttle for all her hard work this morning.
Parking Reminder
Parents are asked please not to park in the lane beside the school. This is to ensure the safe drop-off and collection of all our pupils at the beginning and end of the day. Many thanks for your co-operation.
Biking Breakfast
A huge thanks to the health group for organising a fantastic biking breakfast for the community. The weather could have been better on the day but it did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the children who came along to school at 8:30am for a healthy breakfast to start the day. The group had prepared fresh fruit, pancakes, malt loaf, choice of cereals and juice ensuring stomachs were full and ready to start the day.
The Bike Station and Dr Bike were also with us at school and tried to service as many bikes as they could on the day. If you need more information on the service Dr Bike offers please see the website
Forgandenny Olympics
Today, we officially launched our Olympic topic by holding an Opening Cermony. We had an international Olympic parade, dance and finally a torch relay at the local park. Check out the cool pictures!
Garden Tidy
A huge thanks from everyone at Forgandenny to the Garden Group who have done a fantastic job tidying the school garden. It was wonderful to come into school on Monday to a freshly barked picnic area and new plants in the planters.
Check out the pictures below.
Orienteering @ Strathallan
Well done to P5-7 for taking part in the inter-school orienteering championships at Strathallan today. The weather was being typically Scottish providing a lovely grey backdrop with a sprinkling of rain. The weather however did not dampen the enthusiasm of the children who all did extremely well. Extra congratulations to Straun and Donald who came 3rd overall out of a total of 96 teams.
Self Evaluation
In school, at this time of year, we begin to complete a variety of self evaluations to help us decide the priorities for next session’s school improvement plan – our plan for the next school year.
As always we value the views of pupils and parents as well as all staff members involved in the life of the school.
The pupils will be involved in their own self evaluation called ‘The Chair’, which was introduced to them in assembly today. This will involve every pupil having the opportunity to record what they like about Forgandenny and what needs to improve.
We ask that you complete a short questionnaire about the school and return this by Friday 4th May 2012
Thank you for your continued support.
Farewell to Mrs Simpson
It is a sad time at Forgandenny when we have to say farewell to Mrs Brenda Simpson. Brenda is leaving Forgandenny this week to take up a new position at Blackford Primary School. Brenda has been at the school for over 6 years and she will be missed by all the staff and pupils of the school. Forgandenny’s loss is certainly Blackford’s gain. We wish her all the very best for the future.
