Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
After our Christmas dinner P4/3 hiked down to the Pavilion to entertain the ladies there.
Then we all had a good chat with the ladies and a cup of juice. Our Christmas jumpers were very popular.
We had a lovely time together eating Christmas lunch that was prepared for us by Mrs Judson and Mrs Gilbert. Ralph our bus driver and Dougie the lollipop man came to join us even the panto horse made a guest appearance.
We are now in the Christmas spirit and looking forward to further festivities.
P4-7 went to the panto in Glasgow, we all had a whale of a time. 3 lucky children even got to perform on stage. Many thanks goes to Mrs Reffin and Mrs MacMillan for making all the arrangements and the PTA for paying for the train and theatre tickets.
The staff and children of the ELC prepared a super entry for the St Conan’s Kirk Christmas Tree Competition based on a recycling theme.
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.
Sorcha was delighted to receive a Highly commended certificate for her entry into the Rotary Club Christmas card design competition.
Mrs Harden and Mrs Livingstone organised the donations that families had made over the autumn term to the backpack appeal so that the bags could be sent off to the needy children in Africa.
A total of ??? bags were sent and we received this certificate to acknowledge the generosity of the Taynuilt Primary School community.
For the next 6 weeks a team of pupils from Oban High School will be working as Sports Coaches with P2/1. They have prepared a range of exciting activities to get P2/1 active and to improve their basic sports skills.
