P6s and P7s from Balnain, Cannich Bridge and Glenurquhart Primaries had a great night last night, enjoying the photo booth, dancing, playing games and eating together.  Mrs Woodhouse was very impressed by some of the dance moves on show!  The P7s enjoyed meeting their new S1 classmates, who they will spend Tues – Fri with at the high school next week.  Huge thanks to the new S6s and the staff at all four schools who made it happen!

British Nutrition Foundation Healthy Eating Week

On By kerrieglenu2 Comments

Glenurquhart Primary is taking part in BNF Healthy Eating Week this week.  The children were all introduced to this at an assembly yesterday.

The purpose of the Week is to raise awareness of healthy eating and drinking, cooking, where food comes from and being active to promote key health messages and habits to young people.

We will be trying some of the BNF Healthy Eating Week challenges during the Week.  These are:

  • Have breakfast;
  • Have 5 A DAY;
  • Drink plenty;
  • Get active;
  • Make a change.

Our school will focus on the Drink Plenty challenge with all the children encouraged to take their water bottles to school today and record how much they’ve drunk.
