Keills Primary receives Rights Respecting School – Silver Award!

On the 24th May, Keills Primary School underwent a Rights Respecting Schools Accreditation for the Silver Award. After almost 3 hours of the Argyll and Bute assessor, Christine Walker, asking questions to staff, parents and children about the teaching, learning and experiences within the school, she finally announced that we had indeed met the standard for UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting School Award at Silver: Rights Aware. We were all delighted with this recognition – a massive achievement for our small school!

Hello,

This Friday we will be taking part in a youth Global Climate Strike to learn more about how to protect our planet, now and in the future.

We will have an ‘offline’ and power free Friday in class (no change to school lunches) and also aim to reduce paper waste and use as well.

Finlaggan and Islay Museum 28.6.21

This week were were lucky to interview with staff from Islay Museum and Finlaggan. They shared lots of fascinating information with us about old Islay including artifacts which have been excavated locally.

 

They were also kind enough to share some older pictures of our local community so we could see how our villages have changed over the years.

The first image also shows what life was like inside an old croft in the past.

 

A big thank you to the staff for taking the time to speak to us!

Interview with Miss Swanson (Amy) 21.6.21

On the 21.6.21 we interviewed Amy Swanson our cook and an ex pupil.

 

The teachers were Mrs Birtwell taught P1 to P3 and Mrs Valentine taught P4 to P5 with Mrs Woodrow and the Head Teacher taught P6 to P7.

 

When Amy went to school started at the same time as us.

 

Mundells was the transport when Amy was little and the village looked the same as now.

 

When Bunnahabhain School closed all the pupils went to Keills and when Amy was In P6 there was 11 in her year.

 

At break the games were skipping and football.
