A’ cuir daffodils.

Abair gun d’fhuair sinn aimsir math fhads a bha sinn a cuir na daffodils againn. Tapadh leibhse a h-uile duine a chuidich!

Thank you to those who were available and helped us plant our daffodil bulbs today. Hopefully we will see the results of our hard work in the spring. The children certainly enjoyed their day and I’m sure they will sleep well tonight.

Trip to Castle Grounds

EP3/4/5 and GP4/5 had a fantastic outdoor learning trip to the Castle Grounds yesterday. We would like to say a huge thank you to Tim, Marie and Alistair for organising such fun activities!

“It was really fun and not what I imagined it to be!” Talia, EP4

“It was the most terrific school trip I’ve ever been on. When I saw the millipede race it made me feel that I had to work as a team.” Nathan, EP4

“I liked working with Aimee when I was blindfolded and Aimee led me to a tree to hug!” Caitlin, EP4

“I enjoyed when we had to go in the water and put our boats into the stream.” Alexander, EP4

“I think it was really good because nobody was left out in all the games we played.” Ruby, EP5

P7 Trip to Alltnacriche Outdoor centre.

P7 pupils enjoyed their school trip to Alltnacriche Outdoor Centre in Lynwilg, just outside Aviemore. They took part in a range of activities which included: Archery, Orienteering, Mountain Biking, Aerial Runway, Survival skills such as fire-lighting and shelter building. They also visited Landmark and had great fun on the rollercoaster and water slides. They managed to do a lot of shopping, in a little time too, in Inverness on the journey home.

Pleased with their shelter! The Group Leader commented that they were the best shelters he had seen being built and was not going to dismantle them, which he would normally. Well done girls!
