Our blog

Hello there, we have been thinking ahead this week, and P 345 got their letters home about the trip to Glasgow, they seem very excited about this.

P 345 have been busy working on their Italian information leaflets about different Italian cities, they turned out really well. We were also learning about crochets and quavers in music time.

Mrs Campbell trained the cross country runners this week and a team has been picked. We hope to get the mini bus to take us to the Bucht park on the 11th March. Keep practising the rest of you as we will be competing in the inter school sports in Inverness next term and will need fit people then. So if you were not picked this time perhaps you will be next!

All the children were given out sponsor sheets this week and they are all getting "revved" up for their sponsored mental maths challenge which is part of Kilchuimen Primary's maths week and world maths day (1st March). We hope that World Maths day will be lots of fun and plan to make maths real for the children, the children may be taking part in maths walk, while other classes will be going down to do some shopping maths at Londis.

Pr 567 have started their Salmon topic, children are making tartan designs for their salmon to immitate the look of returning spawning salmon when fishermen refer to them as wearing their "tartan
breeks".

Watch out for news of "the big pedal" from 7th to 25th March, a national
staged cycle ride around Britain. You can follow the event at http/thebigpedal.org.uk/ The final week of the event includes "Bike to school week" which we hope as many children as possible will take part in. More information will follow.

We were delighted that Mrs Collins raised £135 with her raffle, the hampers were super. All money raised from this and the sponsored maths challenge will go towards our new play park. Work should be starting on this in the next few weeks.

I hope to have a newsletter out next week with all the dates, but World Day of Prayer is next Friday and I would hope that some of you may be able to attend the church service at 9.30. On the 8th March we have our parents evening, but this time we hope that the children will come too, more information to follow. Appointments will be made for this event.

I wish you have good weekend

Kindest regards
