IIssssuuee NNoo.. 1111 ((1133//1111//1155))

This week has been another busy one with our parent interviews, Remembrance Day

Service and Children and Need/Diabetes onesie assembly. Thank you to all the parents

and children who attended our parent interviews and for all the positive and helpful

comments. We are committed as a school to give your children the best possible learning

and teaching and it is really important that we share the children’s work and progress

with parents and work on any feedback given.

Thank you to John Walker for doing our Remembrance Assembly, Miss Paterson’s class

for the wreath and poem, Mrs Denham for the song and to Mrs Proctor/Mrs Campbell for

their poems which were read so beautifully.

Today was a lovely assembly with everyone looking so beautiful in their onesies for

Diabetes. The pupil council did a great job in organising and running the assembly so

smoothly and to the Rights Respecting Group for their input on Diabetes.

Further to us asking for parental nominations for local people who were ‘Champions for

Change’ in Inverurie, we had some special guests who were awarded a trophy.

P7 Making Pizza

On Thursday 5th November

Primary 7D went to Pizza

Express in Aberdeen to make

their own pizzas. They have been

using their Masterclass time to

learn how to cook a variety of

healthy homemade meals and

used their learning in school to

support them in a MUCH BIGGER

kitchen. We’ll be chefs in no

time!

Unfortunately we had many children not return their permission slips to be part of our

mosaic photo, as the number was equivalent to about 2 classes we did not feel we could

take this project forward at this time. Hopefully we will try again in the future.

P3/4 had a fantastic morning

riding at Strathorn Farm.

The morning was split into

half hour sessions and they

all rotated round. The

sessions were riding, tacking

up, grooming and

safety/toilet/snack. There

were lots of very excited

children and happy faces.

What a wonderful

experience! We are very

lucky to be going for four

weeks on a Wednesday

morning. We must say a big

thank you to the Parent

Council who have helped us

with the cost of this

wonderful opportunity.
