What a way to end our week! These guys have just returned from Ross Shire Schools Cross Country. The boys came back with the trophy as championship winners! The girls also put in a tremendous effort and Rhiannon came back with a medal for placing 10th. What a team. We couldn't be more proud of you all! 🙌🏻🏆🏅

This initiative is going to be a fantastic resource for our community. Tarradale are so proud to be a small part in the upkeep of it. Anyone will be able to drop off and choose food from this fridge. Make sure you use it!

A huge thank you from all of us, to everyone who managed along to our parents open afternoon. It's was lovely to see so many faces. The children were just bursting with excitement, showing you all their work and everything that's going on in their classrooms. The nook and cranny was a massive highlight for everyone and the nursery children had a ball showing their families around the garden. Lots of people having a wee go at the new testing and some very enthusiastic parents with some super ideas of how to spend some money... never a hard job! 😉 such a lovely afternoon so thank you again.

I think we have started something really rather wonderful. Two more beautiful girls donating their hair to the princess trust to make wigs for children going through a hard time. It's such a big step to take. So very proud of our girls. X

On Wednesday 28th March, the Fundraising Group is planning a Bake Sale for the school. We ask, yet again, for your support. Please, any home baking or even shop bought baking will be greatly appreciated. We need quite a bit to feed all the little mouths. The money we raise this year is going to three different places; 1. A school in Africa for learners with learning difficulties - Our global commitment. 2. Pamper Boxes for Cancer patients at Raigmore Hospital - Our local commitment. 3. Golde Time resources for our school - our school commitment. The money we raise will be added together and then split three ways. How are we doing so far? Winter Ice-cream Day £167.02 Movie Night £257.00 TOTAL so far £424.02 Thank you again for your love and support Mrs Visagie and the Fundraising Group.

Thankyou all for supporting us tonight at the FOT meeting. If you missed it just come along to the GP on Tuesday so that I can show you what we're up to and all our news.

A wee reminder that tonight is the Parent council meeting. 6:45pm in the GP room. Children welcome!

Next Tuesday is our parents open afternoon. This is a chance to speak to your child's teacher in a more relaxed setting and see snapshots of their work and progress so far. The infant department will be open for you at 2:45pm for an hour and the upper from 3:13pm for the hour. Your child will show you round and let you see their work so this is a lovely opportunity to interact with what they have been learning. I will be in the GP room and have a lot ot show you. I have the statistics and some bits and pieces from the new Scottish National Testing alongside some practice sessions for you to try out yourself! I also have updates on this years school improvement plan. Come along and see what we have spent the money on - lots of exciting new maths resources. Chromebooks! Come and have a go! The Nook and Cranny! Come and relax and see what its all about. As usual I will be picking your brain as to what comes next so beware. Is there something you feel we should be taking forward? Dont be shy. We have ideas for you to look at see what you think and add anything else so come and see. I will also put it out to you by e mail for you to see so that no one misses out. We look forward to seeing you.

We really had a wonderful assembly on Friday. To top it off we had p5/6 showing us how they have taken the wellbeing indicator 'active' to the next level. These children have been using the just dance game to keep fit and decided to share with us. It put us all in a brilliant mood for the rest of the day! Well done guys.
