All three primary schools in the Small Isles are working together in a shared Google Classroom. We made up a name and some artwork for it. Here are our ideas. M.E.R stands for Muck, Eigg and Rum. In the urban dictionary MER means someone who just wants to be happy. Teamwork makes the Dream work…

Learning together, having fun and making friends Although current events have completely disrupted our last term of Nursery this year, the quite bright, glittering silver lining for us at the Small Isle Nurseries has been the opportunity to forge new inter-island friendships. Before this year, our children from the Muck, Eigg or Rum Nurseries rarely…

We have turned the sunroom at the Glebe into our classroom while school is closed.  It has a good view of the sea and the mainland and is a good place to work. Our days are pretty busy still, with lots to learn. Maths, English and Science seem to take up no time at all….

Hi, my name is Betsy. I go to Eigg primary. Like everybody, I am not at school because of Covid-19. I find it different because I am normally in class. I miss being with my class with everyone and I miss playing around with my friends. My break is also different. I make my own…

The islanders all baked something for example apple pie or mini puff pastry.  This took place at the community hall on the island of Eigg. WHAT WE RAISED. The Nursery raised about £100 in the tombola for outdoor classroom…

When we were in Mallaig we were not at home on Eigg, so we ate in lots of different places. We had fish and chips in the Cabin. We had ice creams in the Harry Potter shop and cafe. We had breakfast at the hostel. For breakfast we had lots of things.  I ate cereal…

THE LIFEBOAT When we went to Mallaig we got to go to the lifeboat and they taught us about what would happen a real life situation at sea. The lifeboat crew were called Tony and Michael. When we arrived they showed us a introduction about saving lives at sea. After that we went to the…
