I am not sure whether you heard that the HMIE Inspection report for Tayvallich Primary School came out this week and we were very pleased to find out that the inspectors were impressed with our school. You can read the reports on the Education Scotland website but also on the Tayvallich School website here: https://www.tayvallich.argyll-bute.sch.uk/school-documents-and-policies/
I am confident that if the Inspectors had come to Glassary they would have been equally impressed by our pupils and their learning.
The P1 to 4 pupils have amazed us with the work they have done over this term about stereotypes and diversity on the topic of anti-racism. They’ve written some fantastic acrostic poems using vocabulary relating to anti-racism. This week they have also created art collages by mixing primary colours to create different skin tones on paper and made line art to understand and identify how people can look different and how diversity should be celebrated as we are all unique.
You can see a picture of some of their beautiful artwork with this week’s update.
