On Friday 29th January the Pupil Council talked about how important school uniform is.  School uniform is important because you are easy to recognise when you are out of the school on trips.  People won’t be bullied for not wearing the latest fashion.  School uniform is just a white polo shirt, a Tarradale school sweatshirt and you can wear any trousers (except jeans) or skirts you want.

Please wear your school uniform.

On Friday 29th January, Tony Mainwood from the Highland Butterfly Conservation Group came to talk to the Gardening Group and interested P6 and P7 pupils.

He told us about butterflies found in the Highlands and gave us top tips about what plants would attract butterflies at different times of the year. 

Alice thought it was very informative and Emily asked why moths were attracted to light bulbs. 

Did you know that butterfly wings are made of tiny scales and there are 20 scales to 1mm.  The biggest butterfly is called the Queen Alexandra Birdwing and has a 30cm wingspan.  It’s found in the rainforest and not in Muir of Ord!

Many thanks to Tony and here’s to a garden of butterflies.

In the last week of term, P4 enjoyed a trip to the distillery in Muir of Ord.  The trip was organised by the pupils as part of their Scotland project and Food Festival.  This allowed pupils to learn about one local industry.
