Dear Parents and Children,

 As I stared writing this newsletter I looked back on what I had written last year and the contrast in weather conditions could not be more stark as we were all in tee shirts and shorts and enjoying a grand spell of sunshine. Little did we know that that was to be our summer so maybe this wintry weather will herald good things to come in the next few months.

Parents Evening

Many thanks to all of you who managed to come along to have a chat with Mrs Mailer. Everything seemed to go very well on the night and everyone seems very happy with what we are trying to achieve for the children at Inveravon. For those of you who couldn’t make it you are more than welcome to arrange another date and time. Just get in touch with myself or Mrs Mailer  and we will happily fit you in.

Mrs Mailer is now taking lots of time to chat with the children individually about their learning and they are all in the process of writing their own reports again. We hope to be able to send these home early in May.

Climate Week

Mrs Ferguson organised a super week of activities for this and the children got stuck in with enthusiasm. They created a “pizza” which demonstrated the amount of recycling done on a national level. I think the children got quite a surprise at some of the figures and this is displayed on the wall in the hall if you would like to come in and see it for yourselves.

The “Living Tank” has been set up again which over the next few months will demonstrate the filtering process involved in recycling water. The children were really excited when they set this up and it was great to hear them noticing things about it that they had missed last time we did it. Well done Mrs Ferguson and thank you.

Science and Engineering Week

The children had a great week of inventing and discovering and we extend our thanks to all the visitors and parents who gave up their time and came in to work with the children. They all have a much greater awareness now.

Off to pastures new

Last week we bade farewell to William in P2 who has gone off to live in Tomintoul. We will all miss his charming ways and wish him well in his new school.

 Wishing  you all a happy springtime and I look forward to seeing you all soon. I have attached a Dates for the Diary.

 Kind Regards

 Head Teacher
