School News 11 June 2010

Playground Scrub Up
Parents, staff, children and Bob all got together on a sunny Tuesday, the first day of June after school to give the benches and banisters a spruce, hoe out weeds and other misplaced flora and generally give the place a good tidy up. Ina provided teas, coffees and hot-chocolate and good fun was had. Many thanks to all those who were able to come and help. Many hands did, indeed, make light work.
Unfortunately, Inverness Floral Society judges are unable to make it this year, so we will celebrate it in all its glory and keep it for ourselves!
Plant Sale
Because the visitors were unable to come the plant sale was brought forward to Friday 4 June. Ceud Měle taing, once more to Bob and all those who helped. We raised nearly £150.
Sgoil Àraich
Our Sgoil Àraich might be small but it does as much as any other nursery and last week Myra and Màiri (Mrs MacDonald, the nursery co-ordinator) took the entire Sgoil Àraich to Eilean Donan for an interesting, educational and seriously fun day out.
On 15 June, all the surrounding Nurseries are coming to Plockton to join in a day of fun and laughter here.
