Christmas Lights Switch On

This will take place on the village green on Monday, 2nd December (changed from the Tuesday.)  The community are again running a competition to have one of the children turn the lights on.  Entries of a ‘hanging decoration’ should be handed into school by the morning of Monday, 2nd December when they will be collected.

Parent Council

Many thanks to all those who came to the Parent Council meeting last night.  We were able to elect new office bearers and have a brief meeting. More information can be found in the ‘For Parents’ section of the website.  We appreciate the support from parents to continue the great partnership working that we have had previously.

Following on from Book Week Scotland, we look forward to welcoming Barbara Henderson to the school on Tuesday afternoon.

• Victorian boy-on-the-run tale Punch, which begins with the fire which destroyed the original Inverness Victorian Market in 1889, set against a lively backdrop of travelling entertainers
Wilderness Wars, a contemporary eco-thriller for children asking: ‘What if Nature fights back?’
Black Water, a smuggling novella set in 1792 and featuring the poet Robert Burns

RRP for all books is £6.99 each, but if desired, children will be able to buy a book of their choice for £6.00 , and have it personally signed by the author on the day of the visit.
