Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
This morning the children from the ELC went for a walk around our school grounds. On the way they picked up lots of litter that the older children had dropped. Here is what they collected, they took the bag round the classes and asked the children to remember to put litter in the bins instead of dropping it on the ground.
A total of £ ? was raised.
many thanks to all who contributed.
As part of their topic on ‘The Visitors Centre’ P1-3 paid a visit to the Crauachan Visitors Centre to interview the staff about their roles.

Primary 1-3 have been making their visitors centre as part of their topic this term. They have had great fun designing and building the centre over the past few weeks. They have been writing about the staff the centre would need, including writing job adverts for them and have designed a staff uniform. They are currently busy planing the grand opening ceremony!

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!
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.
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.
