The ELC children were even treated to a wee sing song on the bus 😊

The ELC children had an exciting adventure today to West Coast Motors Campbeltown Bus Depot. We were collected by managers Alan and Robert, who showed the children around the premises and gave them the opportunity to explore a range of buses and coaches. We learned that all buses must be wheelchair friendly and were shown how this was done - watching the coach unfold the ramp was very exciting!
​We were given a tour of the offices inside and met some of the staff, who explained what their roles were. The children were each gifted a bag with some goodies inside! A huge thank you to both managers for allowing us to come along and find out more about buses. 🚌

​We also had a very important guest come along with us today...our safety mascot, SIMOA, who ensured we stayed safe while out on our adventure! 💜

As part of the ELCs topic on ‘Transport’ they had a special visit from one of the children’s daddy and papa who brought along two different tractors for them to see. The children got to explore the tractors and have a seat in them. The children enjoyed seeing the two different tractors and spotting the differences between them. The favourite one from the children was the blue one! One of the girls described it as Spider-Man’s Tractor 🕸️🚜
Thank you to Thomas & John for bringing the tractors for the children to explore.

If anyone else has any other forms of transport that they’d like to show the children as part of their transport topic, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch [email protected]

⭐️’We are Nurture Informed’⭐️
Today we were delighted to be awarded our OCTNE Gold Nurture Award.
As part of our submission of evidence, we had a visit today where pupils, staff and parents got to explain and show what makes us a nurturing school & ELC.

We would like to thank all pupils, staff and parents for today and for all the work that goes in to make Drumlemble Primary School & ELC a nurturing place for children.
A special thank you to Mrs Gorman for all the work towards our Gold Level submission of evidence.

Well Done everyone!

We have had a lovely start to the new term with lots of fun exploring and playing in our environments. The P1-3 children have been enjoying the new areas in their classroom, with lots of skills been shown in the construction area. The ELC children have been fully engaged in their block play and loose parts with lots of wonderful models being created.
