A big thank you to everyone who helped with the event on Saturday afternoon here at the school, which was well attended. A few name checks from a school community point of view, and apologies for those I've missed out:
Parent Council – Elaine Jackson, Teresa Bolton and Louise Cameron for the tea/coffee bar- and for insisting I wasn't needed….!
To all parents and contributors of baking
Thomas Larasser for his chemistry and history of discovery of Strontium talk rounded off with the popular screaming jelly babies demo
Mark Woombs for his popular well attended presented on Marine Biology of Loch Sunart
Laura Wilson for her fun and messy artistic activities with the younger children
Our young people who helped –Andrew Jackson as Room 13 rep helping Laura, John Clark, doing anything asked of him, Rachel Bolton also helping Laura and other helpful duties, and Dugald MacIntyre who baked his own cake to contribute to refreshments
To Helen and Library staff for helping host a busy day
All other presentations and displays from Lochaber Geopark, RSPB, Lochaline Dive centre, story teller, etc.
To Eoghan for bringing order and organisation to the afternoon and liaising with Nicky Robertson
And finally to Nicky Robertson for coming up with the ideas for the overall event. The morning rain didn't seem to dampen (!) the morning events in the village, the trips to the mine, or any of the other muddy and wet activities!
Thanks to all.
