Orienteering Success

 

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.

 

‘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.

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.
