We are delighted to announce we have been recognised as a GOLD Rights Respecting School. Well done to all pupils, staff, parents & the wider community - it was a real team effort👏. #rightsrespectingschools

Some lovely play this week. The older pupils decided the cafe was too messy, so tidied it up, labelled everything and trained the younger pupils to use it. #article31 #collaborating #criticalthinking #playforallages

We killed our dinosaurs off with a giant asteroid & a volcano 🌋. We’re now learning about early man. We tried building dens in the woods, we’ll work on improving them over the next few weeks. Aberdeenshire Primary Science and STEM

We had such a lovely morning with Barbara Henderson, author of the new book “I Don’t Do Mountains!” Lots of pupils want to read her exciting adventure story set in the Cairngorms. #scottishmountaineeringpress #article31

Hot Chocolate Friday. We boiled the water in the Kelly Kettle first. One of the pupils made the hot chocolate for us.

Happy Valentines Day for tomorrow 💕

Well done to our skiers who participated in the East & West Scotland Alpine championships. The weather was abysmal, but they still tried their best. #teamwork #skiing

We’ve been learning to play Mama Mia over the last few weeks (mainly because their teacher loves the musical!) #ABBA CharangaMusic #focusing #article31

What a great week for learning about the wind as part of our weather topic. We worked out the wind direction using bubbles, homemade windsocks and kites. #STEM #curiosity

“Best school day this year!” Was a quote from one of our pupils after our venison cookery lesson. The pupils prepared & cooked everything themselves & it was delicious. Thank you to Marr Area Partnership and Lauren from Glenkilrie Larder for this opportunity. #focusing

Birthday celebrations for our Headteacher 🎂💕. Thank you to Greens of Braemar for providing the ingredients for our baking.

The pupils are going home with their cooking bags filled with everything you need to make venison burgers 🍔. We’re really looking forward to hearing how they get on cooking them at home. Thanks again, Marr Area Partnership and Glenkilrie Larder.
