We are thrilled with the arrival of eight new graphic novels for the library, purchased from a charity donation from Pairs Socks.

Little Ardvreck’s dressing up box is always a favourite during indoor play!

Our Chamber Choir sang at Perth Cathedral St Ninian’s at the weekend. It was the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas) service and the children sang beautifully 🎶

Our Form 3 pupils had a brilliant time at the Dewars Centre as part of their Curling is Cool training. From learning how to slide (without slipping!) to mastering the art of the perfect stone, there were plenty of laughs, teamwork & new skills on show. #curling #scottishcurling

With the sun shining, our teams enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of hockey and netball fixtures against @lorettosport. The blue skies made it a lovely afternoon for sport!

Our pupils enjoyed an excellent set of hockey and netball fixtures against Fettes College. Great energy on the pitches and courts, plenty of skill and smiles all round made for a memorable afternoon of school sport. @Fettes_College

Three valuable life lessons were delivered from Helen Harrison at the Magic Lantern lecture on Friday, packed with fun and games, full on audience participation and a good dose of feisty competition! @fettescommunity

Pupils in Form 4 had a fantastic business themed workshop delivered by Mrs Macfarlane. Our budding entrepreneurs received some great advice as they move onto the second phase of their business with Pairs Socks.

On Sunday, the Mitchell family hosted some of our senior girls for a hands-on bread-making afternoon. Together, they made three delicious loaves from scratch: olive, sun-dried tomato and chia seed and even churned their own butter!

Our House paper aeroplane competition is officially underway and it is already proving to be a soaring success! Teams have been busy researching a whole range of paper plane styles and tweaking their folds to perfect their flight times!

Children in Little Ardvreck had a delightful time exploring watercolour paints in their art lesson experimenting with colours. There was plenty of creativity and concentration as imaginations flowed freely across the page.

Our Boarders are making their way to school by all means necessary! #snow #skiseason #sledging #creative

Knot-tastic teamwork in Outdoor Learning! Working in pairs, the children put their dexterity & focus to the test as they practised a range of knots - all in preparation for our big shelter-building adventures this Spring. #outdooreducation #play #bestschool #learningthroughplay

We have some very engrossed children at Ardvreck School! One pupil would like to know what age you were you when you wrote your first book? #BBCAuthorsLive

Inquisitive pupils! Another question from a pupils in Form 2 - what inspired you to start writing? #BBCAuthorsLive

We are reading Goodnight Mr Tom at the moment in class, have all been rather emotional at bits. Have there ever been any books that have made you cry (with either sadness or laughter?) #BBCAuthorsLive

Another question from one of our pupils - which of the books you’ve written is your favourite? #BBCAuthorsLive

We are loving watching! One pupil would like to know - what was your mum’s favourite book to read to you when you were a little boy? #BBCAuthorsLive

A great Ardvreck day out at Murrayfield: cold and damp but full of enthusiasm. The match was disappointingly one-sided (56–0!) but our pupils still managed to instigate a Mexican wave that made it halfway round the stadium! Spirits high, fingers numb, pupils impeccable.

Our fantastic cross-country running team had a brilliant session training on the nearby hills and even discovered a sprinkling of snow! #running #fellrunning #athletics #crosscountry
