Clava Cairns Visit
The Clava Cairns are a group of high status late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age burial cairns at Balnurin of Clava , near Inverness . Pupils from S5 / 6 used a Level to take measurements in order to draw a profile of the Central Ring Cairn . Pupils from S3 had to do a Tape and Offset Survey of the NE Passage Grave in order to produce a scaled plan back in school . Pupils have been learning some surveying skills in their Archaeology lessons .
Burns Supper
This year the Burns Supper was well supported by senior students and staff alike – a great time was had by all ! Sadly no photos - however a fantastic £ 1000 was raised for Papyrus by the Charities Committee !
