The Best of 2020/21

Have a look to see what we got up to at Alvie last year.

New school Mural

A huge thank you to Claire Macdonald for painting an incredible mural for our wall. The mural is part of the REGENERATION project and is inspired by the environment we live in. Each year, P7 will paint their own leaf and write their name underneath. Over the years, the trees will grow and our mural will become even more beautiful.

Thank you Claire - it really is amazing.

If you have a talent and could help us to develop our grounds then please let us know as it is wonderful that pupils, parents and the community are all involved.

P7 Leaver hoodies

Wow - the P7s all look very smart in their new jumpers.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

The pupils are enjoying making their own fun outside using their imagination and the LOOSE PARTS we have been donated. We are still looking for a cable drum, pipes and longer logs.

If you can donate anyting which you feel is suitable then please contact us. Also, if you would like to help build anything then we would really appreciate your help.

THANK YOU & FAREWELL

Today we said our heartfelt thank yous to Mrs Norton and wish her all the very best with her new adventures.

Our youngest and eldest pupils presented her with a bouquet of flowers and wonderful smiles!

THE ALVIE LEAVERS' TREE

As is our tradition at Alvie the pupils made a Leavers' Tree full of messages from everyone and our House Captains presented her with this and lots of good luck wishes from us all here at Alvie Primary School.

Help us to reduce our waste

This week we have been collecting our rubbish from snack time. We filled 2 large boxes with crisp packets and sweet wrappers. We are aiming to reduce our waste in school so a letter from our pupils will be coming home soon.

STEM Week

We have been using our skills to investigate, create and evaluate with science, technology, engineering and mathematics this week.

Well done to everyone for their great efforts, collaboration and communication throughout the week!

We raised an impressive

Our three P1 Christmas helpers have started of the new tradition of decorating the Christmas tree. They had lots of fun and made a beautiful job of putting the tinsel and baubles on.

Well done P1.

A

fine

We are grateful for everyone and everything that made today special.

Wow! Team Alvie you are awesome!

Our Alvie Elves used their STEM skills to create 100 Christmas cards for our Community today.

Great team effort across the whole school and beautiful greetings cards for the season of goodwill.

Well done everyone.

A letter from the community

Dear Alvie

Thank you and all the Children at Alvie Primary for the best Christmas Cards ever!

The Children have been making them for over 10 years that I recall, we usually hand out the cards at the Senior Christmas Lunch at Loch Insh where they all start talking and showing their cards to other attendees.

However this year we had to cancel and therefore decided to ask all our local businesses to help provide a meal for them all which the CC will pay for, either home delivery OR a visit to the Cafe Gallery, Rowan Tree or the Suie. Many will probably use the Lunch Box Boys who will deliver to their doors between now and the 24th December.

I have been delivering the cards with others around the area and so many have said " This is amazing we didn't think the children would have made us cards this year as the Lunch was cancelled"

So again, Thanks it's very much appreciated.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas and get a well deserved rest!

Merry Christmas

Lesley, Kincraig Community Council

Turning on the Christmas lights

Today we started our Christmas festivities. Everyone contributed to making decorations for the canteen and we all gathered to watch the turning on of the Christmas lights.

Christmas card post box is open from Monday.

If you wish to send cards then they can be posted in the school letter box in the Glass corridor.

They will be left for 72 hours and then shared out.

Thank you

As we approach cooler days, we are encouraging our pupils to bring extra layers such as a fleece/bodywarmer in their schoolbags as the windows in the school buildings have to remain open for ventilation. Layers for over and under school uniform are advisable for indoor and outdoor learning, we will continue to be teaching and learning inside and out on a daily basis.

Each class has 2 sessions of PE every Thursday - pupils can wear their PE kit to school on a Thursday and wear this throughout the day and home again (please provide a clean/dry set of clothes in schoolbag just in case there is a need to change).

We hope the children have had a great first few days back at school - Please remember that pick up time is at 15:30 Mon-Thurs and 12.25 on Fridays.

It has been a busy and colourful week in Alvie

We will be working outside this term making our school grounds come to life.
