‘If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.

Jesse Jackson

“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your

imagination.”

Roman Payne

PE Kits - IMPORTANT

It has come to our attention that quite a few pupils have not been coming to school with PE kit

for their lessons. The children must have a change of indoor or outdoor shoes that are

appropriate for PE lessons. It is not hygienic to have no change of kit and it is written into our

school charter that ‘Children are organised and prepared for work including their PE kit ‘. From now on no PE kit will result in children losing 3 points for their house. So the motto is be

prepared for your sports!

Netball Club

Kellands Netball Club were out in action in their first active schools tournament of the season in

Huntly on Monday 14th March. They have been working hard in training and this is really showing

in games. There was great support and play up the court with superb interceptions leading to

some great wins.

Keep up the great work!

Any pupils keen to learn or improve are welcome to attend the open session for local schools

that takes place between 6.15 and 7.30 pm every Wednesday in the dining hall at Kemnay

Primary School. No need to pre-register, just turn up! This is run by Martin Kelly and Gerald

Lobley. We are looking to set up a club at Kellands in the future.

On Thursday the children from P1/2O

and the LGU celebrated St Patrick’s

Day. The children learned about the

story of St Patrick. They tried some

traditional Irish dancing which they said

was very tiring! They made some Irish

food, colcannon, which was made with

mashed tatties, spring onions and

gammon all mixed together, lots of the

children thought this was yummy! We

had a special visitor Larry the

Leprechaun who had left us some clues

to solve, the clues made a map which led

us to his golden coins!! The children also

decorated some cupcakes to take home!

A busy but fun filled day!

Thank you to the children for helping

Miss Owens and Miss Harrigan celebrate

St Patrick’s Day!

PHOTO BOOK AVAILABLE FOR ORDER

We are grateful to Mrs Brand for putting in many hours to produce a photobook of the week.

It looks fantastic, capturing the atmosphere of the trip.

Books are available in paperback (£9.99) or hardback (£22.50).

A hardback version will be available for preview at Kellands Market on 24th March. A sample

of a paperback from a previous year will also be available to give an example of the quality.

Orders will be taken at the stall on Market day.

Orders will be secured with upfront payment only.

If you cannot make Kellands Market but want to order a book please ask your child’s teacher

for an order form. Thank you.

P6 Ski Trip - 22-26 March 2016 - Glenshee

We had the most amazing week.

Blue skies and fresh snow. We

couldn’t have asked for better

conditions.

Back at the lodge, behaviour was

fantastic, attitudes positive and

rooms tidy (mostly!). Staff at

Gulabin Lodge were blown away by

the good manners and impeccable

behaviour.

Staff on the trip agreed that each child did the school, their family and themselves proud. The

sense of camaraderie was brilliant. They were a real pleasure to hang out with. Well done to

everyone who participated. Both on and off the slopes, you achieved so much.

Rate of progress was amazing,

seeing all pupils up on the chairlift

and skiing down bigger slopes by

the Wednesday.
