Scottish Day

On Tuesday 17th November, the whole school enjoyed a Scottish day. Greenloaning Primary joined us too.

The children were split into groups and rotated around different activities in the school with a Scottish theme.  This included Crazy Golf with our PE specialists, Scottish story telling, playing Scottish songs on the ukele, Art and baking.

A big thank you to Mrs Paget and Mrs MacGregor who came along and helped to plan this day.

Emily Greaves and Celtman

Emily Greaves (The Schools’ Sports Co-ordinator) came and gave us a brilliant talk about her achievement of completing the Celtman.

This is an extreme Triathlon. Emily came 25th in a field of 157 competitors!

She told us about her training plan, the event and what it takes to complete an event like this.

She was a great inspiration to the children and staff.

Emily also raised funds of over £2000 for schools that she works for.

Thank you Emily for visiting us and telling us about your amazing  feat!

Braco Street Party

On Saturday 20th June, the whole village was invited to a Street Party to celebrate Braco’s 200th anniversary along Feddal Road.

Everyone brought along a picnic. We were even entertained by the Romans and the sun shone!

During the afternoon there was also the unveiling of the fantastic mosaic at the side of the school, commemorating the anniversary of Braco.

In the evening there was an open mic session, a disco and a band.

We would all like to thank the organisers, Fiona Watson, Fiona Keillar and Linda Dawson  and everyone else who helped to make this a great day!
