This event was made possible with the help of Mr Gus Whyte who kindly refereed and Mrs Babs Whyte, PE Teacher.

Singing in the rain!
One very rainy day in September, Salen Primary School and Pre-school children cheerfully set off on their sponsored walk led by mascot Labrador, Sonny Bill, who was celebrating his 3rd birthday.
Three year old Conner of Salen Pre-school and nineteen year old Danny won the Small Ridden Mountain and Moorland Class at the Salen Show in August this year.
What a well turned out pair and an extremely impressive cup Conner!
Primary 6 pupils from Salen, Lochdonhead and Ulva Primary schools treated all staff and pupils to a lunch of locally produced food as the highlight of Health Day where the theme was Healthy Eating. They took over the school kitchen for the morning and, under the guidance of sous chef Michael Shannon from the Western Isles Hotel, assisted by Iona, and Eilidh and Debbie from the school kitchen, they prepared and served a feast of wonderful Mull produce which had been kindly donated by local producers.

Pupils and staff at Salen Primary were delighted to hear we have been awarded a Sport Scotland Gold Award for achieving excellence in physical education and school sport. The staff found out on Friday but we decided to keep it a secret so we could announce it at the start of our Commonwealth Games Week.
On Monday 19th December Salen Primary held its Christmas Concert. The evening started with the Pre-5 & Sgoil Araich children singing Rinn sinn bodach sneachd an-diugh followed by Jingle Bells. They sang really well and would have kept singing all night given half a chance!
The boys and girls from school then performed Away with the Manger, a hilarious play about Jewel thieves breaking into a school and causing chaos at the nativity. The audience loved the show and said it was the best yet. The night raised over £450 for school funds. Thanks to all the pupils, staff and volunteers for all their hard work.

On Monday 3rd September Salen Primary pupils went to the Baliscate site in Tobermory which is being excavated by Argyll Archaeology and Mull Museum (sponsored by the National Lottery and others). At the site we met Olive and Hylda. Once we were there we saw archaeologists digging for evidence of an old chapel (7th C). Luckily enough we were able to see the artefacts found in the chapel such as: teeth, the Bullen stone and the Leacht that the cross would stand on, and lots more fascinating and interesting things!
