Our blog

Hello there, I cannot believe that another week has simply slipped by, if fact it is rather scary! Many thanks to those of you who have completed the survey either online or on paper. Your views are very important to the school. I will publish the findings on the blog in early June.

This week Pr 3/4/5 have had lots of fun with the French assistant Pierre, they love having him into school. He is full of energy and teaches Pr 5/6/7 also. The children in Pr 3/4/5 have also been working on Fairy tale stories, they have been working hard, writing lots and lots! This has certainly given Mrs Walker A LOT of marking! :-)

Pr 7 went up to the Cameron Barracks in Inverness this week and took part in the Safe Highlander event. This is really a super event run by a number of the emergency services and spells out - in colour what exactly can happen! It always makes the children think. Let's hope the safety message gets through!

The winners of last week's election, The wild party animals had an appointment with me early this week and have been planning how to move their manifesto forward, as with all parties a few of their election promises have had to be dropped, but there is lots of exciting other things going to happen. I will keep you posted!

Pr 1 /2/3 with the rest of the school have been enjoying the teacher swap afternoons. The teacher's all go to a different class and work with the stage that they will be with after the summer holidays, this has helped both the teacher and the children get to know each other. We hope that this will help with the changes next year. The new P1 children came for their first afternoon visit last week, and although some of them were not quite sure they did very well. There is a parents meeting on Monday for new P1 parents to attend. We look forward to seeing you.

Unfortunately we do not know at this time who will take the P5/6/7 class and we cannot tell you the break down in the split within the composite classes, we will keep you posted on this. (All the P3 children had the chance to work with P3/4/5 last week and this will happen next week as well.)

The report cards will be sent out at the end of next week and we have the parents open evening on Tuesday 1st June. Just drop in, between 3.30 and 5.00 and 6.00 and 8.00.

So a week of reading for me and writing for all the staff.

Kindest regards
