Well, summer is over, not that we had much of a summer, and we are back to school and back to hard work in all the classes. We are delighted to be back and welcome our new pupils in P1 and the nursery and also two new members of staff, Miss West and Miss Clark.
Two weeks have disappeared already and we can not believe how quickly they have gone. The first two weeks have been eventful and included a visit by two fire brigades to put out a fire in our shed in the 'Secret Garden'. The shed has had to be removed and we are very disappointed that the vandals have struck once again. Even since the shed has gone we have had another incident of vandalism in the garden area. Some of the trees have had branches broken by people climbing or swinging on them or just deliberately breaking them. We would like to try and develop this artea but are worried that anything we do will be vandalised out of school times. (Pictures of the shed are available on the school website: http://www.strichen.aberdeenshire.sch.uk/news.html )
Anyway, we are looking forward to another busy year and I hope that the pupils will soon be adding some new articles to the blog to keep you up to date with all the latest news.If you have any ideas for what you would like to see on the blog then please get in touch with us by clicking on the 'Comment' button at the end of the article.
