Today we gave our donation to Logan’s Dad who is organising food for those who struggle over the festive season. This is what they managed to gather last year!!!
This year the pupil council and Logan’s friends wanted to help. Today Logan and some of our pupil council handed over St. Fergus’ donations.
We will keep you posted on how the Food Drive goes!!
Today we would like to share our trailer for our Virtual Nativity and Christmas Concert.
Next week we will start to share a scene a day on all of our social media platforms including our school blog here on our website. We all hope you enjoy watching your children perform.
To allow us to ensure that we can stream activities during the school day can you please compete the follow questionnaire for each of your children. Thanks
Congratulations to St Fergus’ Primary 6 and 7 pupils who were awarded their grades in the Scottish Engineering Leaders Awards this morning. Lockdown aside, this was a bumper year for entries with the largest number of pupils entering their designs than ever before.
Their task was to think of a problem that exists and then design a solution.
This year three pupils, Olivia, Hailie and Emma, stood out with their entries being selected to the final stage and shortlisted for the award, an amazing achievement!
Well done to all!
We are also looking to collect large loose parts for outdoor play. This kind of play can be used from primary 1 to primary 7. We are hopeful that’s some parents through their line of work may be able to donate these items to our school or may have family members or friends who could do so.
We are looking for
• Tyres
• Bricks
• Pallets
• Plastic crates
• Wooden cable reels
• Larges pieces of fabric and tarpaulin
• Ropes
• Plastic pipes and guttering
• Tree stumps and logs
• Cones
• Buckets
• Wheel barrows
Any donations can be left at the school gate and Scot will bring them into the school grounds.
Thank You
Mrs Gray & Mrs Ellis
We are going to be introducing loose parts play into our learning in St Fergus’. Loose parts play has been used for many years with amazing results. It is encouraged throughout the primary curriculum for indoor and outdoor learning opportunities.
It is a chance for children to
Play freely with friends
Investigate
Discover
Explore
Create
Use lots of trial and error to learn for themselves
Learn to make their own judgements about adventure play and recognise safe limits.
To do this we need to collect loose parts. The list of possible loose parts is endless but can include:
Boxes – various sizes, materials and shapes
Feathers
Shells
Pine Cones
Stones and Pebbles
Tubes – various sizes, materials and shapes
Baskets
Funnels
Sieves
Beads
Ribbons
Bottle Lids
Old Keys
Glass Jars
Corks
Nuts/Bolts/Washers
Scarves/Fabrics
Hoses/Pipes/Gutters
Pegs
Buttons
Small wheel from old toys
Old cars or toys that move
Metal baking trays or cup cake tins
Wooden and metal utensils
Pots/Pans
Small gardening tools
Watering cans
If you have any of these things at home that you would be willing to donate to the school we would love to have them. Please only donate things that you already have at home and are no longer used.
A box will be left just outside the school gate for items to be left. Scot will bring the box into school for the items to be quarantined and cleaned before use.
We have a new school app which will help everyone get the most up to date information about our school.
This is available to anyone who has a smart phone, click HERE for the guidance and click on the store icons below which will take to directly to download the App.
