This session we have launched our Friday Focus Groups. All pupils in P5/6/7 participate. The pupils are divided into three groups and throughout the session will rotate and have opportunity to experience all the groups. The groups are “The Green Team”, “Healthy Choices” and “The Press Gang.”
The main focus for “The Green Team” has been to tidy up the garden area at the front of the school and to improve the look of the school grounds.
The Press Gang has been busy keeping people in the school community up to date with all the news from the school. Keep reading the Loch a’ Tuath News for our monthly updates. They also have allocated areas in the social Area for each class to report about what is going on in their class.
The Healthy Choices group has been learning about healthy eating choices and baking different foods such as healthy buns and tasting different types of food.

DO YOUR BEST BOYS!
As we start another new day with sunshine, we are thinking of our Gaelic Medium boys who went off yesterday afternoon on the ferry with Dano and Mrs Maclennan. The boys are representing the Western Isles in the Cuach na Cloinne Finals today in Bught Park in Inverness. Six teams have qualified to compete for the trophy this year. Our boys will be up against teams from Iochdar, Portree, Craighill (Tain), Bun Sgoil Ghaidhlig Loch Abair and Bun Sgoil Gaidhlig Glaschu primary schools. We wish them well and know that they will do their very best. We will hear how they have got on later in the day.
CHRISTMAS AT THE MOVIES
Pupils at Sgoil a’ Bhac hosted two performances of Christmas at the Movies on the 18th December 2017. The concert showcased a variety of talent across the school. Please see below a selection of the pictures taken on the night. We hope to show some of the video clips taken on the plasma screen in school also. 
REMEMBRANCE DAY ASSEMBLY
Parents and friends are warmly invited to our Remembrance Day Assembly on Friday 10th November 2017 at 1:30pm in Sgoil a’ Bhac School Hall. We look forward to seeing as many of you as are able to attend.
Blythswood’s Shoebox Appeal
Grateful thanks must go to all those whose generosity meant that 102 Shoeboxes from Sgoil a’ Bhac were loaded up into cars this afternoon to be taken to the collection point in Stornoway. There, they will be checked and packed ready for their onward journey to some of the poorest regions within Eastern Europe. This is a phenomenal effort on the part of pupils, parents and staff and our hope is that the Sgoil a’ Bhac shoeboxes will bring much needed comfort and joy to those who need it in the coming weeks. 
BLYTHSWOOD SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
We were absolutely delighted to have Rhona Matheson from Blythswood in school on Wednesday 11th October 2017 for a joint Assembly with Sgoil a’ Bhac and Tolsta Primary School. Rhona came to tell us all about the Shoebox Appeal for this year.
Shoebox leaflets were distributed to all pupils earlier in the month and already we are seeing them coming in. Please have your shoeboxes in school by Friday 27th October 2017
