Dalmally’s Got Talent!
At the end of March the children of Dalmally Primary School organised a talent show. This was no ordinary evening; in fact it was a very exclusive event. Guests entered through the V.I.P entrance, made their way along the red carpet and were greeted with a champagne (sparkling fruit juice!) reception. The event was not complete without a panel of celebrity judges who took their roles very seriously.

Hermitage Primary Netball
Hermitage Primary are very proud of the school netball team for winning the Lomond School Netball Tournament. The group phase saw some excellent play in all sectors of the court and the team progressed into the final undefeated. Hermitage faced Cardross in a nail biting final in which both teams played superb netball and were equally matched. However a tense 4 minutes of extra time allowed Hermitage to score a further 2 goals and finally win the trophy. Well done to the whole team!
Tobermory High – Comic Relief
From the youngest primary children to the oldest S6 and most of the staff everyone joined in the fun of Red Nose Day. Crazy hair and pyjamas were the themes and most people rose to the challenge so there were some interesting sights in Assembly. In primary they baked cakes and had an impromptu dance contest whilst in secondary most junior pupils had bought senior genies for the day who carried bags, helped with work and in some classes lead a bit of karaoke.

heartstart assembly
On the 12th March we held our Easter assembly, we based it around the theme of helping your neighbour.
The children demonstrated how to phone for an ambulance, put someone into the recovery position and do CPR if necessary. The parents followed the instructions the children gave them and asked lots of questions about the Heart Start programme.
Southend snow and scarecrows
Just back for 1 day after the 5 day black-out but we got right down to it by designing and making two scarecrows as part of the Southend Village Scarecrow Challenge. We couldn’t miss out on the very topical theme of power cuts either. Pupils enjoyed playing in the huge pile of snow which had fallen from the roof and they even managed to make a mini-snowman.
Easter Bonnet Parade
There may have been wintry temperatures and snow showers outside on Wednesday March 27th, but inside Dunoon Primary there was most definitely a celebration of Spring and Creativity taking place, as children from the Nursery and P1 – 3 arrived in the hall, wearing a fantastic array of colourful Easter bonnets. The pupils of P4 – 7 and staff showed their appreciation, as the younger children took to the stage to model their amazing creations. A wonderful effort! Well done!
