We have some new toys in the playground such as bat and balls, stilts, skipping ropes, French skipping ropes and scoopers to play with the balls. All the toys are from the Scottish salmon company. And we want to thank them very much.

Some of our Primary 1 and 2 girls took part in the Girl Guiding Gang Show on Saturday with their friends from Back School. They have been busy practicing their dance routine to the Greatest Showman every Tuesday for the last few weeks and put on a fantastic show for all who came to see them. Look how fabulous they all look in their outfits. (They even had their own dressing room!)
On Thursday 14th March the Sgoil Araich preschoolers visited the airport. They got to see around the airport and they went to see the fire department. In fact, they were so interested they spent most of their time finding out about all the jobs that they do. When they were finished of their busy morning they enjoyed their snack with the fire brigade.

Our New School Library!
As part of World Book Day our new school library was launched. All the classes were given an opportunity to visit and “check-out” a book to read at home. We are beginning a journey to reignite our love of reading.
Ruby and Leah were awarded a book token at Assembly because their suggestions were chosen to form the name of our library. The library is now known as ‘The Cosy Reading Forest’.
We were inspected in September 2018. You will find the letter published by Education Scotland below.
