Each week we have our local ministers visit for a whole school assembly. We enjoy listening to the stories Brian and Calum tell us, despite their terrible jokes!
This year we have introduced Values Assemblies where our pupils are rewarded with certificates related to the values of our school.
Primary 5-7 have Liam from Feis Rois in this term teaching Scots and Gaelic songs.
Primary 1-4 are taking part in the Roots Of Empathy programme this year. The programme teaches the children about feelings, their own feelings and the feelings of others. Shirley the instructor comes into school each Wednesday and some weeks we have baby Seamus and his mum visit. It is exciting watching him grow and seeing how he devlops and learning about empathy.
This term P5-7 have been working with Jake our Active School’s Co-ordiantor to acheive their Sports’ Leader Awards. They have been developing games and activites for the P1-4 class.
We are delighted to welcome back Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC coaches who are providing both classes with footbal sessions once more. This is great fun but we are also improving our ball skills and team building abilities.
Every Friday afternoon Primary 5-7 attend swimming lessons at Alness Leisure Centre, where the children are encouraged to learn to swim, improve their strokes and learn life-saving skills, depending on individual abilities.
And here we are ready for another year of school.
A very warm welcome to our new pupils and families who have joined us this session but a particularly warm welcome to our new P1s who have started their school life with us here at Newmore!
And just like that another year at Newmore Primary School has come to an end, and what a great year it has been once more.
A time of mixed emotions for some of our families as we say farewell to our Primary 7 pupils, but we wish them well for the Academy and as they know our door is always open, and we look forward to hearing all about their adventures in the years ahead.
For the rest of us it is time to recharge the batteries and spend time with our friends and families in preparation for the adventures that await us in 2024 – 2025!
See you all in August.
And what an exciting end to the year. County Sports, School Sports, Summer Picnic and a whole school trip to Landmark!
We had a super week in school from the 3rd to 7th June. We invited local business and employers to come into school to tell us about their jobs and the skills they use. Some of them even demonstrated the skills they use and allowed us to try it out.
On Tuesday we went to Ardross for the day and employers set up stalls in the hall where we could walk round and ask them questions.
During the week we also got out and about visiting some of the local businesses.
