Newmore Primary School

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!

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.
