Newmore Primary School

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!

This is always a busy month in school, and as you can see this year was no exception. From Winter jumpers to Christmas crafts, visits from The Grinch and Santa, our very own Christmas show, a trip to Eden Court’s pantomime, fundraisers and appeals, and parties galore. It was a fun-filled month.

This term our Pupil Council requested to make toast for pupils to purchase at breaktimes. Here are the girls who have taken up the job of making and serving the toast twice a week. Some days they are treating us to bagels too! It has been very popular and we will continue this next term.

Well done to Team Newmore, you were true ambassadors for our school.

It may only be November but we had great fun in the playground this week making the most of the snow fall!

This term we have workshops with Mikeysline where we are learning about the importance of our mental wellbeing and finding out about strategies we can use to help with this.

We all took part in ‘Odd Sock Day’ where we showed that it is okay to be different, and helped raise a small doantion for the charity.
