Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery ClassOur children have really enjoyed working with Mr Griffin to make vegetable soup and stew over the past couple of months.
Why not have a go at making one of Mr Griffin’s delicious dishes at home? Visit our File Store page to download the recipes!
This morning, P4-P7 pupils joined our friends from All Saints Primary in the gym hall to watch a fabulous show: Hope: An Anti-Bullying Production.
Our children watched on as the performers presented a story with a clear and important message about bullying. At Rochsolloch Primary School, we always encourage our pupils to be mindful of the feelings of others, and to share any problems they experience with trusted adults in the school.
Following the production, the Take-away Theatre Company members ran workshops with our pupils to further explore and reinforce the anti-bullying message!
Take a look at the photos below to see the performers in action!

Getting outdoors to learn through play is an important part of life in the Rochsolloch Nursery class! Our children are outdoors in all weathers! In this pair of snaps, you can see that our children have taken their focus on ‘Sharing’ outdoors to look for ways to work together during water play.
It looks like great fun, boys and girls!

Last year, Miss Rangeley and P5/6 studied Africa. The pupils wanted to know more about African tribal culture so Miss Rangeley and Mrs McCulloch organised a surprise visit for this session…
All of the pupils from the school and nursery were treated to an absolutely amazing performance of singing and dancing this afternoon, courteset of the Osiligi Maasai Warriors, who had travelled all the way from Kenya!
The children learned about the Massai way of life, and about the meanings of the different, amazing songs they performed.
Check out our Twitter feed for a short video clip of the men from the tribe showing us how they used to hunt lions!
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our children. What an afternoon!

Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery Class has a new motto!
We asked parents, pupils and staff to put forward ideas for an inspirational motto for our school. The best suggestions were shortlisted, and our pupils decided on our motto at assembly this week:
‘Aim high! Give it your best try!’
We think our pupils made a great choice – we are always encouraging our children to reach for the stars and give everything they have to achieve their goals!
We would like to welcome all of our returning pupils to school for the new session, with a special welcome to our new Primary 1 and Nursery Class children!
We like to keep our website up to date with what’s going on here at Rochsolloch Primary, and we are looking forward to adding brand new stories and photographs as soon as we have renewed our photograph permissions for the new session.
Let’s make this year the best year ever!
This afternoon we said an emotional goodbye to our P7 pupils, as a guard of honour lined the school playground to watch our children piped out.
Boys and girls, you have been a fantastic P7. We have enjoyed watching you grow and develop over the years into the wonderful young people you have become. The high schools you are going to are extremely lucky!
We hope that you always remember your time at Rochsolloch, and look back on that time very fondly. Wherever you go in life, you will forever be Rochsolloch children! We wish you every success in the future, and we can’t wait to hear how you’re getting on!
We would like to thank our Parent Council for organising our P7 pipers, and for providing their lovely leavers’ t-shirts and yearbooks.
Congratulations to our winners of the volleyball raffle!
These volleyballs, signed by the Scotland team, were very generously donated by Mrs Wilson, who helped the school during our Sport Education project.
We sent our Class of 2017 off in style this morning with a marvellous musical assembly!
Congratulations to all of the children and staff involved – it was one of our best shows ever! Our children really are starting to look at home on that stage!
Take a look at the gallery of some of our performances:
Check out these photographs from P7’s incredible trip to Kilbowie last week!
Have a look at our mini-gallery of the photos taken on Mr Innes’ camera this week! There will be a much larger gallery coming soon with all of the pictures given to us by the staff at Kilbowie!
We’re midway through our last day here at Kilbowie, and we’ve got more than a few tired bodies in the building!
Having now completed all of their outdoor activities, our children are just polishing off a delicious chilli dinner. After dinner, the children will be clearing their rooms and sorting their equipment with their instructors before getting ready for the disco this evening!
It has been an absolutely terrific week, and the children will be desperate to share stories of their adventures and achievements with their families this weekend!
Tomorrow morning we’re hoping to be on the road by half past ten, and we’ll call the school with an ETA from our stop in Tyndrum.
Well, we haven’t had quite as much sunshine in Oban today, but the wet weather hasn’t dampened the spirits of any of our children!
Several of our groups have been rock climbing this morning, with many of the children conquering their nerves and fear of heights to really push themselves! Everyone is working so hard to be as involved as possible in their activities, and we are extremely proud of how our pupils are representing our school here at Kilbowie!
There is a real happy buzz in the air as our children continue to mix well with their new friends and share stories of their favourite activities – gorge walking has been a big hit so far this week, with even the normally pristine Miss Duncan diving into the cold water for a swim!
Shortly our children will be returning from their afternoon activities to enjoy some steak pie or chicken burgers before getting back outside for an evening activity later on, come rain or shine!
