Newmore Primary School

Big excitement! Our new outdoor classroom has arrived! Due to be built soon! We are looking forward to using this in a variety of ways, from whole class outdoor learning to small groups etc. Keep a look out for other changes to our playground to promote outdoor learning! 

I am a very proud Head Teacher this morning.

7 of our pupils have been going to Milton Primary for the past 8 months to join their J Rock Team. The dance and soundtrack was created by a 6th year Dance Leader from Invergordon Academy, she displayed such talent, commitment and enthusiasm for our team.

This has been an amazing opportunity for them, last night, they performed at Eden Court in front of hundreds of people. They told the story of the HMS Natal, it was a fantastic performance which was very moving.

Huge well done to all the pupils, staff and parents who helped make this possible.

Marine Scotland were visiting us today to tell us about their job and to show us a selection of fish recently caught and landed in the Highlands.

Thank you to Jane and Lauren for coming to visit us. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt lo

Our new wee friend the pheasant who has come to visit us every day this week.

The children have been enjoying experimenting with different materials during break times to make dens. As well as developing their skills in many areas it is also developing their social skills, the children in the picture range from P1-P7. 

Today our Newmore Team have headed through to Inver for round 5 of the Active School’s Cross Country series.  This is a super event to be part of with over 100 children participating in each race.

Mr Darcy and Buddy from the NSPCC came to talk to us this morning about how to “Speak Out and Stay Safe.”

Tonight we held a beetle drive and bingo fundraiser for Newmore/Milton JRock. It was a super night, thank you to everyone who helped from the raffle prizes, to the baking and our super staff for preparing and hosting. Special mention and thanks to: The Shandwick, Rashos, Diane Ross (Photoshoot) and Cake Rocks for the prize donations. We raised a great amount…£356!!!

Outdoor learning at its best! Lots of technology and team building at work today in our playground.
