P5 to 7 Sense of Place Workshops
We are very much looking forward to our two days of workshops for the P5 to 7 classes from Tayvallich and Glassary which will take place on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st May in and around Tayvallich. Due to recent water quality issues in Carsaig Bay, we are exploring Keills as an alternative location for our activities on Tuesday and will be in touch on Monday to confirm this.
Information and the letter about the workshops can be found via this link on the school calendar: Sense of Place Residency – P5 to P7 – Glassary Primary School
Fabulous work
Don’t forget to look at the class Seesaw accounts to see evidence of your child’s fantastic work as well as ideas for how you can support learning at home and details of homework. If you are not able to access Seesaw, please get in touch.
Meeting with the Children’s Commissioner
The children did us proud when they met online with Nicola Killean, The Children’s Commissioner, last week. They were an absolute credit to you and us with their fabulous listening and questioning skills and respectful behaviour. They had prepared a range of questions for Nicola about her role and how she works to ensure that all children in Scotland are safe, protected and able to achieve their full potential. Nicola also asked them about the things they like most about living and learning in Mid-Argyll and also asked them to feed back to her on the things that could be even better for children here. We plan to carry on the conversation by sending Nicola some more video messages and we have invited her to visit us in person when she is able. You can see some photos here: Meeting with the Children’s Commissioner – Glassary Primary School
Active Schools Young Leaders
Our Active Schools partner David came in on Wednesday to present certificates to our P6 and P7 pupils who have been training as Young Leaders with him and Erin over the last 2 sessions.
We are very proud of the pupils and the difference in the games that now take place at lunch and break times has been amazing.
You can see some photos of the certificate presentation here: Our wonderful Active Schools Young Leaders – Glassary Primary School

If you have not done so and wish your views to be considered, please email by Wednesday 22nd May so that final decisions can be made by staff.
