It seems that the school has been gripped by seaside fever. The nursery have been digging for hidden treasure in the nursery beach corner, they found lots of treasure there. The children were also really excited to find a message in a bottle on the shore, they have sent a message through to the P 123 class. It is all very exciting, beware if you go in the nursery though, you may be asked to walk the plank!

P 12 3 have created a fantastic pirate ship with the help of Mr Hayes, it is just brilliant, the children have really enjoyed taking part in this. The children wrote fantastic pirate stories which they are all going to read to the nursery.

P 345 all headed to Rosemarkie beach, they visited Channary Point and were delighted to be able to see some dolphins leaping. We have a very smelly classroom as they took back all sorts of interesting finds. All the children had a ball, and it is simply amazing now what they know.

P 567 did a new display for buildings in Fort Augustus of those old and new. They have been finishing off creating their "junk" buildings for their version of Fort Augustus High Street.

Children in P 345 and P 567 also watch a little of the Pope's visit on Thursday.

Thank you to everyone who donated money for the "Seeds to Africa" at the harvest thanksgiving festival. A total of £70 was made.

A super turn out at the Parent Council, with much debate about Curriculum for Excellence, feedback on the parent survey which was sent out in May, and I also outlined the improvement plan for the school for the next year. I hope that we see many of you at another meeting.

Kindest regards
