Joint sports day at Minard
The children at Minard and Furnace Primaries enjoyed a lovely afternoon of sporting activities at Minard Primary school on Wednesday the 18th. Organised by our PE teacher, Mrs Floyd, the children were split into four teams and took part in a variety of events including ‘Jimmygymnastics’ ‘water archery’ and the space hopper relay!

It was a beautiful afternoon and everyone worked hard to gain points for their team with the ‘reds’ the overall winners.


Furnace and Minard enjoy a successful trip to Oban
Furnace and Minard Primaries headed to Oban for the day on Thursday the 19th. We started the day at Tesco’s as we have been following their ‘Farm to Fork’ project materials. We started off in the bakery learning about how bread is made. This was followed by visits to the fish, cheese and fruit and veg departments. The children had worksheets to complete and had a chance to sample some cheeses (and doughnuts!)



We rounded off our visit with a trip to the cinema where we had the small cinema to ourselves and enjoyed watching the new Disney film ‘Maleficent’.
All agreed it was a great day out!
