Fancy a new toy or book without spending any money?  If so, Primaries 4L and 4/5I are hosting a swap shop next week.

If you would like to exchange a book, soft toy or board game/jigsaw, please bring it to school on Monday 23rd June.  You will be given a token in exchange for your item.  Later in the week, you can exchange your token for a similar item to the one you brought.  (For example - If you bring a book, you will only be able to choose a book).

All items must be in good condition.  There is a maximum of 3 items per pupil.

We had lots of new pupils today in the form of bears.  Here is a picture of all the pupils in the main school with their bears.  Next week, I will put the Nursery photos on the blog.

One of our pupils attended the 2008 City of Aberdeen Highland Games at the weekend.  Techfest were present and set maths and science activites to challenge drop-in visitors.  One of the challenges was a K’NEX Tower Challenge. He won by building the highest stable tower recorded on the day at 1.25metres!  Unfortunately we don’t have a picture of his tower, but here he is holding up a ’Head Teacher Award’.  He received a  prize of K’NEX from Techfest and his name is on the Techfest website  as a September winner.  An engineer in the making?

Scroll down to read about our Lord Provost Chess Winner, Music Festival Results, GridClub Home Learning and ‘Bring A Bear To School’.  Also in our Achievements Pages, I have added a few photographs.

To celebrate Paddington Bear’s 50th Birthday, P4/5I would like to invite all pupils to take their favourite soft toy and a 50p donation to school on Friday 20th June.  Proceeds will be split between Action Research and Red Cross.

• Achievers for June in Achievement pages.
• Hockey Page with match results

• HOCKEY COACH WANTED
• Next year we would like to continue the hockey club and play more tournaments.  Unfortunately I will no longer be able to coach as I am leaving for the Netherlands.  So if you are free one afternoon a week, enjoy working with children and are willing to give up some precious time why not contact Jenny Black (01224) 346301.  The Council will provide training courses, equipment and some resources are available too.  It is not scary at all.  The players are wonderful and all admin will be done by Jenny.  You only have to coach.  Pauline de Koning.
