Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
Well done to the kids and parents that took part in the walk up Beinn Lora on Saturday. Everyone said it was a brilliant day and parents all commented that the kids had a fantastic team spirit, encouraging and cheering each other to the summit.
The BBQ at the school after was lovely and it was great to see families from nursery to P7 come along, FOTS have been asked to do this again as it was enjoyed so much!

There was a good turnout of parents and children from Dalmally and Taynuilt Primaries for the information evening about our Outdoor Residential trip that is scheduled for the second week back in August.
The sun shone and we had fun.
Many members of the local village community joined us and a great time was had by all. There was plenty of food and fruit to go round.

Mr Gary Johnson from HMIe visited today to consult Staff, Parents and Children on their views regarding the rezoning of St Columba’s catchment area.
P5/4 have been working hard on their topic on biodiversity, looking at bees. We had a fabulous visit from Donald Harrison who taught us how bees are kept, how they behave and how honey is actually made! We have also been researching ‘bee friendly’ flowers and made our own wildlife haven for pollinators outside our classroom using recycled bottles to create hanging baskets. We are carrying out weekly bee surveys to look at the impact of our work 🐝
A big thank you to Gary Goldie for taking P7/6 out and about the village foraging for wild food! They learned lots about the various species and grew muscles digging up pig nuts!
There will be a meeting of the Parent Forum in the school tonight at 6Pm. All welcome.
This was a very busy day to end the term with both The Eggybition and Church Service being held in the morning.
