Mrs Rooney joined up with teachers from other Primary Schools in Invergordon to plan a task that would link to the building of the new Jetty down in Invergordon by RoadBridge.
The aim of the lesson was to learn about materials, shapes and properties and use this knowledge to design and construct a model windmill.
Do you think they were successful….?
John from the Police came to talk to the little class about how they help people because they are learning about ‘People who help us. (Written by Jennifer and Sam)
The children were asked what they learnt:
“Some of our best-loved marine wildlife is under threat from the waste and litter in our seas, with hundreds of species accidentally eating or becoming entangled in litter. It’s also dangerous for people and damaging to our tourism and fishing industries. We all have a part to play in turning the tide on litter” (Marine Conservation Society)
P4-7 were delighted to be involved in this year’s Beach Clean in Invergordon. We were supported by a couple of volunteers from the Port Authority and Roadbridge. The pupils relished the opportunity to take their learning out of the classroom. The school endeavours to give our pupils as many opportunities as possible to become Confident Individuals, Effective Contributors, Successful Learner and Responsible Citizens.
Today’s work also allowed us to help the pupils:
We are incredibly proud of the attitude and behaviour of the pupils who achieved great results for our environment. Thank you also to the parents who came along to help!
This week P4-7 were dissecting sunflowers as part of their plants project in science.
The pupils used the different parts of the flower to make an information poster. They then carried out research on their chromebooks to add further details. 
We are delighted to be showing off our brand new sports strips. One of our pupils took it upon herself to ask her Dad to sponsor us and we were delighted when he agreed.
Newmore always relishes the opportunity to participate in School Sporting Events and these will make us feel prouder as we attend such events.
HUGE Thank You to Rod Munro Ltd. We are VERY HAPPY!
Our infant class was very excited to have been invited along to Coulhill Primary to see ‘Artie’s Tartan Tales.’ Artie was one half of the well known ‘Singing Kettle.’
The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and singing along to Scottish Songs.
The children were fabulous ambassadors of our school and behaved impeccably, especially when they had break with the other pupils at Coulhill. We are very proud of them and are so lucky to have such fabulous pupils.
We have Achievement Assemblies regularly to recognise and celebrate the efforts of our pupils.
Today we had a few more than usual!
Well Done everyone and keep up the super work and effort!
A new page has been added to our blog, ‘Termly Plans.’
