MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION MUFTI DAY
Whilst most of the teachers were wishing they were still in bed, most of the kids were wishing they were astronauts, nurses, superheroes and much more. Take a look at our great kids who had fun dressing up, dreaming big and raising money for a worthwhile cause. Thank you to everyone for supporting this charity fundraiser.

PUSS IN BOOTS
What a treat we had today, as we had a special visit from Puss In Boots. This really brought our teaching unit on drama to life. The children laughed, sang, shouted and screamed for a whole hour and were thoroughly entertained. The Teachers all had some quiet time afterwards!!!!

YEAR 8 LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
One of the special things we offer our students at Ardgowan is our special programme for our Y7/8 kids. Last week as part of this Ms Mclay took our Y8s on an overnight conference to Iona camp. Here they mixed with all the other Y8 kids from the Rural Schools and learned new skills and made new connections. This programme is unique to the Rural Schools, which makes us pretty special. It supports building new friendships and the development of the skills to do so, which will be so important at High School. It also provides opportunities for our kids to develop resilience, leadership skills and social skills. It gave them a chance to ask High School kids who attended the conference about what High School is really like, from the perspective of someone who is there. This hopefully answered any questions and got rid of any worries they may have.
Have a look at some of the photos. Well done to our Y8s who made us proud, as always.
