What have we been up to?

In September Ailsa and Emily went to a team building event atMuiravonside. We did lots of different activities including mine field maze(which was run by Mr Connochie, it was fab! ) building a birds nest,orienteering and the classroom activity. When we went there we met lots

of children from other schools. It was a great day out and it did not rain!

On the 8th of October Emily and Louise went to the Cenotaph wreathlaying ceremony. At the service there were representitives from all of theGrangemouth primary schools and also the High school. Mrs Wright metus there and kept us right. Once we had laid the wreath on behalf of MorayPrimary School we went back to Mrs Wright and watched the rest of theceremony.

On The Open Evening we met, helped and pointed parents/carers to the

classrooms. Our members were placed in various places around theschool to make sure that no-one got lost. This was a great success like ithas always been.

Whats next?

We are sending Louis C, Heidi, Aidan and Emily to the next clustermeeting. This meeting will be held at Beancross primary school on the27th of November. More details to follow.

The Cycling Proficiency is looking good this year. It is run by Miss Multaniand Mr Connochie who have the tricky job of training a group of Primary7s how to ride their bikes safely to and from school. They have both donea great job. Kate Wallace will be along soon to give us our test. More tocome about how we get on with the test.
