Move Orkney came to visit 5E and 5M today to celebrate World Ballet Day. We took part in a Ballet Workshop where we enjoyed trying out lots of different moves and learning more about Ballet. We moved around the hall playing games and used the new movements we had learned. In a circle we tried some different moves and tried a dance together. At the end we had a flossing competition.  Thank you very much Move Orkney for coming to visit 5E and 5M today.

P4M presented cheques for £362.34 to each of their chosen charities.  Julie Nicol from NHS Orkney and Rosie Wallace from Cancer Research UK both visited the school to meet the children and accept the cheques on behalf of their respective organisations. The children enjoyed the visits and enjoyed sharing stories of how they raised the money! Well done P4M!

A great big THANK YOU from P4M for all the support from parents, families and the local community.   The donations of ingredients from Papdale Stores, Rendalls Bakery and Tesco were so much appreciated as were visits from all the folk who came into school to help us learn more about business.   We loved our sessions in the Home Economics Dept of KGS where Mrs. Maclean taught us how to make chutney and oreo truffles. Yum yum! We have raised £721.67 so far and still have money coming in.   Your generosity has been amazing.   Our two charities, Cancer Research UK and the children’s area of the new Balfour Hospital will be so delighted with the donations they will receive. We know you will want to hear about our competition winners so here goes… Snazzy Spices Quiz answers 1.      Chilli 2.      Cardamom 3.      Black pepper 4.      cloves 5.      Turm...

P4M went to the Home Economics department of KGS to make chutney and oreo truffles. Madaleine's mum is a teacher there. She taught us so much about chopping, measuring, packaging etc. We learnt lots and had fun too! Thank you Mrs MacLean

Both items will be for sale at breaktimes from Wednesday 23rd - Friday 25th May. All proceeds are going to Cancer Research UK and the children's area of the new Balfour Hospital. Thank you for supporting P4M.

Today we had a challenge to make a model lighthouse. We had to add a working circuit to our lighthouses using a bulb, a battery, a switch and wires. We worked really hard with our partners and we all got our lighthouses working.
