The Nursery also took part in a Chatter-Box Challenge. This was on March 1st at Strathconon Primary School. The children from Marybank Nursery also joined in. The children brought £1 and were part of a nation-wide ‘chatter’ to raise money for the children’s communication charity ‘I CAN’. They all had a fun time.
It has proved to be a very busy and exciting few weeks. Everybody is working hard and taking part in a wide range of activities. Eight children represented the school in the Cross Country championships and I was so proud of everybody’s amazing effort. Just walking around the course made me tired! I can’t wait to start the training for next year!
World Book Day was a great success especially as the theme was ‘food’. The children read recipes, menus and were involved in a wide range of fun activities. It was lovely to see all the children from Marybank, Strathgarve and Strathconon mixing and working so well. Indeed the lunchtime football match was a highlight for many.
Thank you to Strathpeffer Primary School for letting us use their gym hall. The children were able to develop their skills in gymnastics and it was amazing to see Martin from the Nursery climbing up to the top of a rope.
Thank you also to all the wonderful parents and grandparents who help with transport to all these events – we really could not manage without you!
I am thoroughly enjoying being Acting Head Teacher and I will inform you of any change to my title!
Best wishes to you all, Sue Bate
World book day!
On the 2nd March 2011, Strathgarve, Marybank and Strathconon primary schools were all celebrating World Book day a day early. This year the theme was food. There were many activities to do. The activities were - ready steady sandwich, making your own pizza, drama, takeaway music and art. All the schools made chefs hats and they were brilliant.
It was very special day!!! Ella P6
Cross Country
On Friday 4th of March a group of runners from Strathgarve primary school took part in the Ross-shire cross country championships at Alness academy.
We left school at 11:45. We arrived at 12:30. When we got there we went into a big hall and got very excited.
At 1:00 we walked around the course. We saw a bath! When we got back the boys went first. Brandon and Cameron ran really well.
The girls ran 5 minutes after. Lucy, Ella, Claire, Ellie, Tiania and Becky ran their fastest and were completely tired out.
After everyone was finished we went back into the hall. We thought the girls wouldn’t win because Tore came 2nd and we thought they were better than us.
When they called out Strathgarve we screamed with delight!!!
We went up to the front and got handed a big trophy which we took back to school. We get to keep it for a year. Our photograph is on the front page of the Ross-shire Journal. We phoned Mr. Quigley to tell him the good news. We all feel very proud and we can’t wait until next year. Becky p6
