Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
P4-7 worked together yesterday afternoon with a den building competition – teams had limited resources which they had to trade each other for, learning how to utilise resources, negotiate and communicate as a team to build a successful den which every member of the team had to be able to fit inside!
The children starting P1 in August will have their induction sessions in school Today and tomorrow. Parents are welcome to join them for lunch from 11:45 if they wish.
This week our P7 pupils will attend Oban High for their induction.
P1-3 had a fantastic visit to Bonawe Iron Furnace last week as part of their Taynuilt visitor centre topic. They learned all about bellows and water wheels and how iron was extracted and how long people have been using iron.
Our Quality Improvement office will be coming on a support visit this afternoon.
The ELC parents appointments are being held today and tomorrow in the Nursery . Individual time slots have been allotted by the school office.
P5/4 have been working with Kilchrenan primary school over this last term, and today spent the day at Kilchrenan working with them to learn sampling techniques in the Kilchrenan grounds looking at biodiversity.
In the afternoon they had an absolutely fantastic American football taster session with coach William Humphries, learning how to throw an American football and how to run ‘routes’. A huge thank you to William, and to Allan Wright and Gillian Walker for making this happen.
P5/4 have been working on playscripts this term, looking at the play ‘Twelfth Night’ by Shakespeare. To show what they have learned about performance, interpreting characters and stage directions, they put their hard work on display during a visit to Kilchrenan today and brought the house down 👏
This term, p1 have been making connections between lots of different skills that they have to do with number. They showed that they can make and amount with coins and Numicon, write the number name and amount in figures. They can also half these amounts by sharing equally. They really liked doing this outdoors.
