Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
Archie is one of our new P1s. His Mum is from Germany and she helped him to prepare a traditional German treat for his new classmates, they celebrated just like they do when children start school in Germany.

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!

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!
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 👏
P7/6 kicked off their class presentations today with a fantastic variety of projects – there was spectacular knowledge of cars, a manga drawing lesson, information about black & white holes and space themed cup cakes 🧁, hints on eating healthily and how to cook some Venezuelan dishes and some farm items to identify and lots of amoo-zing cow facts!
