Dornoch Firth Campus December 2019
Hello As we fast approach the Christmas break we would like to take a little time to reflect on the successes and achievements of our whole school community. Many of our children, young people and colleagues have received recognition for their creativity and hard work. A special congratulations should be made to Dr Allan for his international work. Well done also to Joan Murray at Bonar Bridge Primary who received Public Servant of the Year award, and also to Howard Tolliday for his recent recognition in the UK Salters' National Awards for Science Technicians. Finally, I would also like to extend a special thank you to our brilliant librarian, Fiona Macleod, who is always looking for new and creative ways of engaging children and young people in reading. The atmosphere in the library is wonderful and it is great to see so many young people interested in books. Fiona’s work has been complemented by our primary school teachers who have been presenting lively and engaging assemblies over the last few months. The children are developing their confidence in public speaking and this will support their studies and aspirations later in their school and career pathways. It was great to see so many of you at the recent family event and we welcome your feedback on how we can continue to develop events and activities which support our partnership and learning at home. If you are interested in presenting or running an event please do not hesitate to contact us. In S3, we hope to meet many of you on Tuesday 3 December during our Learner Journey Review Event which will run from 9.00 am until 7.00 pm. -

Many conditions in the urban habitats are modified compared to those in the rural ones, so the organisms present reactions to these changes. To determine to what extent the habitat type influences insects, we tested the differences in the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) leaf-mining insect community between urban and rural habitats in Serbia. Lower species richness, abundance, and diversity were determined on trees in the urban environment. Due to the differences in the habitat types, many of the species disappeared, while most of the remaining species declined. The seasonal dynamics of species richness, abundance, and diversity differed between the habitat types. Both rural and urban populations started with low values in May. Subsequently, rural populations gained higher species richness, abundance, and diversity. -

Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol
Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge. -

Ent. 54 (1 /2), 2005 New data on the sawfly fauna of Corsica with the description of a new species Pontania cyrnea sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Symphyta) A. D. LISTON & J. SPÄTH Abstract Records of 38 taxa of Symphyta collected recently by the authors in Corsica are presented. 15 identified species are additions to the known Corsican fauna. Pontania cyrnea sp. n. is described and compared with the morphologically similar P. joergcnseni ENSLIN. The family Xyelidae is recorded for the first time on the island. A total of 71 symphytan species are now known from Corsica. Introduction CHEVIN (1999) published a list of 56 species of sawflies and other Symphyta (woodwasps, orus- sids) from Corsica. His paper is based mainly on material made available to him by specialists in other insect groups who have collected there. He also included data on specimens from Corsica in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris), and mentioned a few taxa already recorded in papers by other symphytologists. The island had previously been visited by a single sawfly specialist, who examined only the leaf-mining species (BUHR 1941). In spring 2004 the junior author stated his intent to collect Symphyta in Corsica. -

Representations* received on Deposit Draft Local Plan - November 28 2008 to January 23 2009 Consultation *NB - Includes text of previous representation where appropriate. Representee Comment Whole Policy Text WS General Comment Scottish Water In relation to the Local Plan Map Booklet, we welcome the inclusion of the table prepared for each settlement, suggesting the level of capacity for both water and sewerage treatment. A detailed assessment of the proposed site allocations provided in the map booklet has been undertaken in terms of capacity and future capacity1 of Scottish Water’s infrastructure to accommodate the level of development detailed within the local plan. The capacity data section in the map booklet appears to be consistent with our assessment and the planned future development of our infrastructure. Scottish Natural Heritage Master Planning and Design Statements SNH recommends that relevant PANs such as PAN83 Masterplanning, PAN68 Design Statements are referred to and their requirements consistently applied in relation to housing allocations within1 the Local Plan. DEPOSIT DRAFT NOV 08 RESPONSE - Not done – but para 2.6 1st b/p advises applicants to check the Scottish Government website for current PANs – which are listed in topic order – and SNH has no further comments on this. Scottish Natural Heritage Renewable energy, and some other development related issues will, SNH understands, be taken forward soon in policy terms through the Highland-wide Local Development Plan in order that they can be considered at the Highland rather than at any Area level.
