Safer Internet Day
This year’s Safer Internet Day (SID) will take place tomorrow – Tuesday, 6 February 2018. The 2018 theme is “Create, connect and share respect: A better internet starts with you”.
Crater Experiment
Our class have been learning about Space this term. We were investigating how the size and weight of a meteorite is related to the size of the crater it makes. We were using marbles to find out if small meteorites and large meteorites make the same-sized craters.
The craters of the Moon, like many of those on Earth, were created by meteorites.

Bronze Age Burial Chamber
Today (26.01.18) we went outside to meet some archaeologists and they taught us the history of the island and shown us a tool called a peat corer it is used to dig up mud and then we inspect it to find out how old it is. Then we walked over to a bronze age grave and there we learnt how are lives different years ago and what things were made of.

Archaeologist Visit to Breasclete
On Friday the 26th of January we met an archaeologist that was talking about what was under the ground about 5000 years ago. After that we went across the road and we saw a pile of circular stones which was a Bronze Age burial chamber and the archaeologist said that this is where ancient people would put the remains of dead people and their ashes. He was also talking about how old the Callanish stones were.

School Uniform/Eideadh Sgoile
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s policy is that pupils attending schools within the Western Isles shall wear school uniform. We support that policy and encourage Sgoil Bhreascleit pupils to wear their school uniform. On the days that pupils have PE they may wear dark jogging trousers, dark shorts, a school polo shirt and gym shoes. It is important that parents label their children’s clothing so that any items can be returned immediately. As the weather can be wet and windy, all children should bring a jacket to school. Sweatshirts, pullovers, cardigans, ties and fleeces can be purchased through the school.
Based on parental income, some families may be eligible for a clothing grant from the Education Authority. Application forms, which must be submitted annually, are available from the school office or Education and Children’s Services Department.
PE KIT
On the days that pupils have PE they may wear dark jogging trousers, dark shorts, a school polo shirt and gym shoes. It is important that parents label their children’s clothing.
Pupils will have PE on different days and each class teacher will inform you when the P.E. kit is required.
Enrolment / Clarachadh
Parents wishing to enrol their children are welcome to visit the school. They should telephone the school to arrange a time for their visit. Parents of children who are 5 years old before the end of the following February may enrol them for entry into primary one in August. Enrolment week is advertised in the Stornoway Gazette and we also display notices in the Sgoil Araich, the local newsletter and in the Community Centre.
Parents should come to school to complete an enrolment form and bring the child’s birth certificate. Enrolment forms are available at the school office.
Parents wishing to apply for a place at a school other than the local primary school should apply in writing to:
