Raasay Primary School was represented by Tabby and Nelly at the recent Inter School Orienteering event. Both girls worked well as a team and completed the course in very good time. A quick stop to the cafe was required as pre-event sustenance was required!
Raasay Primary School’s summer day out this year was a fantastic trip to Inver beach by way of Raasay House fast boat! Pupils enjoyed the fast boat ride (and even having a shot of driving!), beach explore, sand castle competition, team games, seal watching and a picnic. Of course, no beach day would be complete without a bonfire and marshmallows!
A big thank you to Raasay House, especially David and Gordy who helped to make the day fantastic and fun!
Thanks to Davie Carslaw for some more fantastic photos of our annual Sports Day. As you can see – not only was the weather spectacular but the setting is pretty special too!
Raasay Primary and Nursery pupils enjoyed a fantastic ‘Sports Fun Day’ at the pitch on Thursday 21st June. The theme this year was Biodiversity and teams were divided into ‘Bees’ and ‘Ladybirds’ with some themed games such as: Millipede March, Healthy Habits Obstacle and Bug Tug. Thankfully, the day which had started quite grey improved and the sun came out for us! A big thank you to locals and visitors who came along to watch and cheer us on. Thank you also to the Parent Council for some much appreciated refreshments afterwards.
Raasay Nursery enjoyed a fantastic day out with Broadford Nursery on Monday 11th June. Pupils travelled down to Plockton where they enjoyed an exciting boat trip to see the seals and then had a picnic and playpark visit. As you can see we have a ‘Skipper’ in the making!
A big thank you to Broadford Nursery for very kindly inviting us to this and other events throughout the term.
Raasay Primary School pupils were delighted to receive a visit from our local Fire Fighters. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about the importance of Fire Safety and getting stuck in with the water hose putting the ‘fire’ out! The feedback also included how much they loved being in the Fire Engine, the sirens and being surprised at how heavy the helmets were! Knockbreck Nursery, who were on a day out to Raasay also thoroughly enjoyed joining in the experience.
We would very much like to thank David, Iain and Malcolm who kindly gave of their time to make the visit possible.
Raasay Primary School had their annual school summer picnic on Tuesday 12th June. Anda, our school cook, put on a fantastic spread which was enjoyed by all. It also happened to be a special birthday for Anda. The children presented her with their own hand made cards and we also surprised her with a cake and gift from the staff.
Pictured are the pupils of Raasay Primary School following their recent success at the local Mod. This is the fourth year in recent times that the school has been awarded the Oban Rose Bowl for the most points gained in the Gaelic competitions by a English Medium School. As well as collectively winning the Rose Bowl, the children were all successful in their individual competitions, bringing home to Raasay golds and silver medals.
On Wednesday 30th Raasay Primary School pupils had a visit from the Scottish Police Animal Crime Prevention Unit with their mobile display. This was a very informative presentation with lots of items on display which brought home to the pupils the crimes that are unfortunately sometimes found within Scotland. They had examples of illegal traps and information regarding animal protection and welfare.
Pupils enjoyed being out in the sunshine on their bikes as part of the Bikeability programme. An ice cream was definitely required after all that effort!
