Comic Relief 2013
Rothesay Primary had a Red Nose Day on Friday the 15th March. All the Primary 7s gathered up to organise a day full of fun for the rest of the pupils. We had a sponge throw; nail bar; designer dreams stall; a raffle; beat the goalie; car wash; float the lemon game and face painting. Everyone had a brilliant day! Along with the money raised in Pre-5, Primary 2 and the red noses sold by our pupil council, we raised a staggering £1028.78! It was such a successful day for all the Rothesay Primary pupils and staff.
A huge thank you to Keren Cafferty from the Puffer Bar and Restaurant, Easdale Island for coming into Easdale Primary School to show us how to make stovies and cranachan. The children and parent helpers enjoyed making and tasting these traditional dishes and are now looking forward to preparing and serving these at our end of term ceilidh next week.

Our catering staff made Red Nose Day cakes on Friday which were sold by our Primary 7 pupils. We raised approximately £100 with some money still to come in. This was a superb sum for our School numbers.
“Parklands School celebrated Red Nose Day on Friday 15th March with pupils either wearing something red or having crazy hair or even both. We raised £68 from donations from pupils and staff and also had a great day of fun and games.”
Dunoon Primary raised funds for Red Nose Day today. They sold red noses for £1-00 and the whole school wore the colour red or had a silly hair style! Remarkably some of the children’s hair styles were expertly sprayed with glitter and crimped! Each class was a sea of red ! Even the Janitor Mr Callum McIntyre (Who retires on Thursday 21st) joined in the fun!! The cake decorating after school class iced red nose biscuits and cakes to perfection!
Rothesay Primary Pre-5 eco group recently visited their local newspaper, The Buteman to ask for help with their latest campaign. With the help of Alex Robertson, they are going to build an eco greenhouse made out of 2 litre clear plastic bottles. Only its not 10 clear bottles they need, but 2000 which is a very long sing indeed! The Buteman very kindly printed the appeal and with a poster campaign as well, the bottles are flooding in. We have counted 800 so far.
The pupils at Ashfield Primary School held a ‘Comical Cars, Coffee and Cakes’ event to raise money for Red Nose Day. Parents and friends were able to relax with a cuppa and some home baking while the children washed and polished their cars until they sparkled! The pupils ended up very soggy by the end of the afternoon but great fun was had by all and we managed to raise just over £200. Thank you to all who supported us and were brave enough to let the children wash your cars!
Skipness Pupils recently welcomed Campbeltown Courier’s reporter, Steven Flanagan, to help them prepare the latest edition of their newspaper. The Skipness News has been running since 1991 and has a large number of local and foreign readers. The pupils were given ‘top tips’ on how to improve their journalism skills. They were very grateful for Steven’s help and contributions.
The children of Luing transformed their classroom into a cafe for a Big Brew. This is in connection to the Human Rights work that the children are taking forward and to support Fairtrade Fortnight. Linda Leggett, an island resident and Fairtrade Tradecraft stall holder, set up a stall in the classroom to offer the visitors an opportunity to make their purchases.
As ever, the islanders turned out in force to support not only the children but to show support for Fairtrade and a growing understanding of the human rights agenda.
Pupils at Southend Primary have been working on a Fairtrade project this term. One of the tasks was to make and sell products using Fairtrade ingredients. Parents and friends in the community came along to the annual Bring and Buy Sale and the Fairtrade Treats were soon sold out.
Primary 1/2 organised a tea room for our village and our mums! Our job was to put up signs to advertise the tea room. We made invitations in the shape of cupcakes and we also had a news flash at the weekly village service. On the day, we decorated cupcakes with a school helper. She baked delicious cakes and we helped to make them look marvellous.
As part of our Human Rights work with Amnesty Ireland and BEMIS, the children of Luing produced the Fairtrade newsletter for Oban, Lorn and the Isles. They also volunteered to distribute information and promote Fairtrade products and Human Rights at a stall in TESCO Oban.

Primary one, two and three with the help of Cameron from P7 helped organise and run a successful Fairtrade coffee afternoon in the school. The children baked in the morning using recipes from their Fairtrade recipe book. In the afternoon they helped set the tables and made sure that those who attended were well looked after.

There has been great egg-citment at Toward Primary over the past few weeks. As part of our Crofting Connections project the school bought an incubator and were given some hen eggs. The pupils carefully watched over the eggs, turning them each day and ensuring they were kept at the correct temperature. After a week in the incubator the eggs were eggs-amined to see which ones were fertile. They had 4 fertile eggs and eggs-actly 3 weeks after placing the eggs in the incubator they began to hatch.
On Sunday the 3rd of March, Minard Primary organised a Soup and Sandwich lunch fundraiser. This was a community event prior to the raising of the schools first Green Flag. The flag was awarded before Christmas but we waited for a day when all could join in the celebration. The children thanked Mrs Beattie our SEN assistant and volunteer helper Sheila Campbell for all the hard work they had put in to helping them achieve the flag.
Unfortunately some of the children could not be there on the day and so are not included in the photograph.
Dalintober Primary School received a second Green Flag from Eco-Schools Scotland for their work on sustainable education and making eco links within the community.
The school has been very lucky to have been granted an allotment site by ACHA in New Parliament Place and the Eco-Group and Committee have spent a lot of time and effort in working on the allotment and growing their own produce. This has been made even more enjoyable with the help of Mr Chris Holden and Mr Ryan Malone from Campbeltown Community Organic Garden.

Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 turned their classrooms into Tartan Tearooms as part of JLB’s Burns Day celebrations. This enterprise involved the children writing a list of everything they would need to run a tearoom in their classes, making posters to advertise the event and making tickets to sell to everyone in the school. The uptake of tickets was very positive and almost every child and many adults in our school visited the Tartan Tearooms. Continue reading Tartan Tearooms at John Logie Baird Primary
