Potted Sports

Although this event will not be held until the 15th May, there is a lot of organisation needed over the coming few weeks. For any parents who are not familiar with this event, this is a mixed sports morning for all pupils. The children take part in their house teams with each group being made up of P1 to P7 children. For this to go ahead we need helpers who can count team scores at an event as we have more activities than the number of teachers. Please let the school office know if you can help or if you need more information.

Exploring the Middle Ages

This term we have been learning about the Middle Ages. We are off to Elgin Cathedral next week and in preparation we have looked at some Primary Sources of Evidence kindly donated by Elgin Museum. We had to sketch the items and make predictions on what they were and how they were used.

Moray Growth Deal Survey

Moray Economic Partnership is asking people living in the region to get involved with the My Moray campaign and take a short survey to help with the development of the Moray Growth Deal bid. The completed surveys will be analysed and reflected in a report to Moray Council and lead to further discussions with the Scottish and UK Governments.

The Moray Growth Deal is a long-term plan centred around specific projects designed to transform the economy. It is hoped this can be achieved through improving education, addressing concerns around encouraging young people to live and work in the area and making the region a desirable place to live.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the future of the region for yourself and for your children through our survey. It is available here until 30th September.

For further information, please visit the My Moray website. You can also get involved on social media via FacebookInstagram and Twitter.
