WHAT A LOVELY OPEN AFTERNOON AT MOL – BRINGING LIFE AND SPIRIT INTO THE BUILDING

What a lovely afternoon we all had yesterday when the school gates were at last swung open and lots and lots of parents and carers came to share what MOL is truly all about.

The sun shone and there were so many happy and smiling faces sharing, investigating and supporting all what together we can truly achieve.

The positive vibe was so clear to feel and see – a real life and buzz being injected into the school on a day that was very uplifting.

I am sure that you all agree – we can achieve so much for all MOL children when we all collective come together in this way. Our collective strength is awesome….!!!

P2 – P7 Open Afternoon

We are looking forward to welcoming our families to our classrooms this afternoon. As long of the weather remains dry, we will be opening up the main school gates (beside the MUGA) at 2pm where some P7 helpers will direct you to your child’s classroom. To reduce congestion in the corridors, we would appreciate if you could enter and leave classrooms through the outside doors to each classroom. Whilst in your child’s classroom, please take some time to talk with your child about their learning and what they are looking forward to this year in school. There will be leaves available for you to write down you and your child’s ‘Hopes and Dreams’ for the year ahead. These will be added to our whole school Hopes and Dreams tree in the corridor outside the school hall.

If the weather changes and it becomes very wet, we will open the hall doors to the top car park (beside the zebra crossing) for entry and exit to the building.

Hope to see lots of you this afternoon!

OUR LONG AWAITED CHANCE TO SHARE THE EXCITING NEW MOL NURSERY SPACE WITH PARENTS/CARERS AND OF COURSE YOUR MARVELLOUS CHILDREN

It was so lovely to see so many parents and their children come to share what their new nursery looks and feels like last Friday evening.

We all had the chance to have a good look around and play, share a cup of tea, and have a relaxing chat about the journey taken so far in making this brilliant new facility a reality. A beautiful and positive end to very busy week…!!!!

I know that all of the nursery staff want to say a massive “thank you” to all the parents/carers and family members who have supported their children and of course ourselves in enabling this powerful vision to happen. We can’t do all of this without you.

Have a lovely week ahead,

Yours,

Robert, a very proud Head Teacher

OUR VERY SPECIAL MOL NURSERY OPENING THIS MORNING

It was a fantastic occasion this morning when all the partners involved in making our fabulous nursery a reality came together to celebrate the official opening.

The super nursery staff, Morrison Construction contractors, Highland Council officials and councillors, all came together and really showed what a great working relationship can achieve and indeed look like

However, as you can see the real stars of the show were the children who brought this whole occasion to life through their excitement, smiles, and joy.

Fabulous job everyone…!!!!

ITS FULL STEAM AHEAD AT MOL

On Monday morning we were visited by M and M Theatrical Productions who presented “The Railway Children” in the school hall. The P4 – P7 children really enjoyed the opportunity to get together as a larger group and see some live theatre once more. We all loved this beautiful sense of creativity which was in abundance. As you can see from the fantastic images we all got fully absorbed into this classic adventure.
