Primary 6/5 visited the Science Centre today – but not just as a fun and educational day trip. We were there as Leaders of Learning as part of our Children in Scotland project with other schools and educational groups and the Minister for Learning, Science and Scotland’s Languages Alasdair Allan (Primary 6/5 were the only Primary school children there!)

Early level pupils from Luing and Easdale decided to visit Oban Airport as part of their transport topic. They enjoyed looking around the air traffic control tower before watching the Colonsay plane land! They were even allowed to sit on the plane. The firemen at the airport then showed the children their special fire engine and let them sit in the driver’s seat with the flashing lights on. The firemen also demonstrated how far the water shoots out from the hose. The children were excited to watch a helicopter landing. We all had a wonderful day!
Pupils, staff and parents of Dalintober PS gave their full support to the school’s fundraising efforts for Comic Relief.

Other fundraisers included a Pre-5/P1 Bake Sale, quiz and various stalls/competitions. A grand total of £775.31was raised for the charity – thank you!

Pupils of Oban High School were invited along to HMS Blyth, a Minesweeper with the Royal Navy which was in Oban for a few days. The Royal Navy gave the pupils a very informative tour of the ship and really enjoyed learning what life would be like as part of the crew on the HMS Blyth.
P5 to P7 were delighted to welcome Mr Priest, PT for Maths at Dunoon Grammar School, into their Maths Setting classes today. Mrs Macdonald’s class had just finished a block of learning on Algebric Equations and were busy consolidating their knowledge.

There was a very relaxed feeling about Bowmore Primary today as children and staff supported Comic Relief by dressing down and wearing funny faces! There were quite a few red noses going about and for once, it wasn’t down to the cold! Onsies, princess dresses, pyjamas and hoodies were part of our special ‘uniform’ today as well as some crazily painted faces. We managed to raise lots of smiles as well as £234.00!
A huge thank you goes out to our parents and friends for supporting Comic Relief through our school. Well done Bowmore!
On Friday the 6th of March we had a coffee morning to raise money for Fairtrade. All week, each class have been learning about Fairtrade so that we would know what Fairtrade is all about. P1/2 went down to the Co-op to hunt for Fairtrade products and P3/4 studied the journey of a banana. P5/6 wrote a persuasive piece text encouraging others for or against supporting Fairtrade and P6/7 made a Fairtrade cookbook. Every class also baked a cake using Fairtrade products.
A group of P6 and 7 pupils were lucky enough to attend the Scottish Book Awards Ceremony for the 8-11 age range, in Edinburgh on Wednesday 4th March. Before the ceremony they met some of the short listed authors and were able to get their books signed. The children were amazed at how young the winning author Alex McCall was. He had only left school three years previously and had been inspired himself by a visit to school by a Scottish Book Trust author!

On Thursday the 5th of March, Pupils at Lochdonhead Primary took part in an all-day sponsored read for World Book Day 2015.
The classroom was laid out with bean bags and cushions, and pupils came to school in their pyjamas to mark the occasion. The reading began at 9.30am and only stopped for break and lunch. Parents and teachers also read aloud to the class which was a lovely experience. All in all it was a fantastic day, and we would all love to do it again! Especially coming to school in our pyjamas!!!
