26.9.16 European Day of Languages at Tayvallich Primary School, Argyll.
“On Monday, 26th September, Tayvallich Primary School was full of bright colours and laughter. It was European Language Day and each child and staff-member was dressed from head-to-toe in the bright colours of a chosen European flag. We all said which country we represented and some even had found out the Capital city of their country! The classroom was decorated with the colourful flags of Europe; balloons with Spanish colour words; and information boards with a variety of different language posters.”

The sun shone, the sea breeze kept the midges away and we had the perfect day for inter-sports to take place.

Mid Argyll Orienteering 2012
On the 6th September 2012 the P4-P7s from Lochgilphead Primary took part in the orienteering event organised by Stramash. The day was held in Kilmory Gardens and attended by many schools from across Mid Argyll. The four different courses challenged all the children, the longest being 3.6km for the P7 girls and boys.
When you weren’t taking part in the orienteering, there was a natural art competition and a scavenger hunt. The winners of the natural art competition were Tayvallich Primary. The fabulous day impressed everyone and Stramash is thanked for the spectacular day and we hope that there will be more to come!
