We are delighted to welcome Blaine to school every Friday for the next few weeks to teach athletics to both classes. Blaine works with Jake our Active Schools Co-ordinator and we are very appreciative of the skills the children are learning with him.
As this year was the 80th Anniversary since VE Day we decided to mark it with a Garden Party on the afternoon of Thursday 8th May, inviting families to join us for the afternoon.
During the week all pupils were involved in baking and other preparations for the event. It was a great success and another chance for us all to have lots of cake!
Thank you to the many families who joined us on the day, we are very lucky to have so much support.
This year our Technology morning, where children decorate their eggs or tatties, had the theme of VE Day, seems it is the 80th Anniversary this year. All pupils had clearly thought out and planned their creations making it yet another year where the judges struggled to make a decision. Well done to all the pupils!
We were delighted to receive a donation from a local charity. Two of the pupils from P5-7 accompanied Miss Lowson to their awards ceremony to collect the cheque. We are delighted to have recieved this money and will put it to very good use.
Primary 1-4 are delighted with their visits from mum and her baby, who are visiting every few weeks, along with Shirley who facilitates the visits. The children are enjoying watching him change and grow, and to be able to observe his development over time.
Primary 5-7 have had visits from parents and grandparents who have shared their family experiences of what life was like. It was really interesting and the pupils asked lots of informative questions.
P1-4 came to visit P5-7 for a fun filled maths activity!
We have had a 5 week block with Jake our Active School’s Co-ordinator where we have been able to experience some of the barriers faced by people who live with a disabilty when they want to participate in games and sports, and how these can be overcome.
As part of their IDL topic about The Clearances, P5-7 have been learning about tartan and how it is made. We were delighted to have Thereza, our PSA, bring in her loom and teach us how to weave cloth.
Well done to Team Newmore. These pupils have committed to attending all of the races in the Ross-shire area, regardless of the weather, and have showed great sportsmanship at every race!
