Kilmodan Primary

The pupils at our local school were introduced to our new forest family last week & given the task of naming them. Once named, the family will set out on adventures through the community forest, so from June onwards keep an eye out for them whilst exploring our network of trails.

Pupil's from the local primary school joined us this morning & made an active contribution to the investigation. After a brief introduction, buckets & trowels were handed out & the novice archaeologists set to work on extending the main trench. Lots of mud, worms and enthusiasm.

Spent a lovely afternoon @KilmodanPrimary this week as part of our #CreagLiath excavation in Argyll & Bute. The children learnt about #prehistoric life and got hands-on with @ArchScot's Fantastic Flints artefact kit! We're looking forward to digging with the children next week!😀

Beautiful day for P7 transition visits to Tighnabruaich Primary School and @KilmodanPrimary. Lovely to meet some of our P7s and discuss @dunoongs. #abplace2b

Our school is at the heart of our community. Earlier this week we delivered our hand made Christmas cards to our neighbours. @abc_OCTF #RRSA #Article8

This morning we welcomed Jacqui from The GRAB Trust. She helped us to understand the importance of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ especially over Christmas. We finished the session by making crackers from an old atlas and toilet roll tubes. @abc_OCTF #RRSA #Article24 #Article31

We were delighted to receive a visit from Andrew from the Col-Glen Shinty Club. We really enjoyed looking at all the trophies that the club have received recently and wish them great success in their promotion next season. #celebratingsuccess

We were absolutely delighted to be able to invite our community in yesterday for our first Community Tearoom in a very long time! It was very well attended and the children were excellent hosts! Well done everyone! #confidentindividuals @abc_OCTF

Last week we had a visit from Aileen and Charlie Croc. They were both impressed with our whole school brushing routine and reminded us of the importance of maintaining good oral health. @NHSChildsmile @OralHealthAandB @abhscp #UNCRC #RRSA #article24

Thank you for having us! We cannot wait to hear what discoveries you make 😊

Today we were archaeologists! We experienced a real archaeological dig right on our doorstep. Many thanks to Andy and his team for allowing us to join in on this wonderful experience! @ArchScot @abc_OCTF #successfullearners

Last week P4-7 celebrated European Day of Languages. They surprised themselves with how well they could read, understand and follow a recipe in French. Bon appetit! 🇫🇷 #europeandayoflanguages @scottishcilt @abc_OCTF #Metaskills @skillsdevscot #RRSA #Article24

It’s Maths Week Scotland. Today P4-7 made Viking pancakes with stewed apples and brambles. Weight & measure, fractions, conversion, time and doubling, we put maths into practice. #MathsWeekScotland #DYW #Metaskills @skillsdevscot @abc_OCTF #UNCRC #article24 #article28

We have worked very hard on these pieces of art work for the “Stories of Cowal” exhibition at Tighnabruaich Gallery. Each unique piece shows real creativity and personalisation! @abc_OCTF #confidentindivduals #successfullearners

As part of our IDL, we learned about Viking clothing and explored ways in which the Vikings might have used natural dyes to colour their textiles.
