On Thursday 15th May Marybank Primary School joined with Mulbuie, Ferintosh, Strathconon and other Easter Ross schools to take part in the cluster sports.

Over a hundred pupils took part in lost of activities such as the long jump, tossing the caber, shot put and basket ball on a pilates ball!

The children all had juice and crisps at the end and they had a good time. Even the weather stayed dry. Now they are looking forward to thier sports day.

The new summer collection was modelled by the nursery, P1-7, Staff, X-Pupils and parents. One hundred people came to watch and they all enjoyed it.

There were refreshments in the 5 minute break and once the fashion show had finished the M&Co tills wouldn’t stop ringing until 10:00pm. M&Co raised a staggering amount of £1000.

We hope to have another fashion show in the near future in show of the winter collection.

All the children of Marybank Primary School were entertained by the children’s poet laureate, Michael Rosen at the Eden Court Theatre, Inverness on Friday as a result of one P5 pupil, Iain M winning tickets to the event in the Scottish Book Trust’s poetry competition.

Iain and his classmates wrote poems based on the ‘Magic Box’ by Kit Wright but it was Iain’s ‘Magic Cauldron’ which caught the judge’s imagination and secured his win.

The school heard of his success just after the Easter holidays and had been looking forward to attending the event. The small size of the school meant that all the pupils could attend which was a real bonus as Michael Rosen and his writing appeals to all age groups from the very young to adults.

The children were not disappointed after their long wait and were kept on the edge of their seats for over an hour as Michael Rosen had them squealing with laughter as he recounted tales of his own childhood memories and family. He uses all of these in his own distinct writing and hoped to inspire the huge audience of over 300 children from all around the Inverness area to do the same.

It was a great day out for the children of Marybank and who knows, one of them may be a budding author of the future!

We are delighted to announce that May’s show can now be heard by clicking on the microphone below!
