Church Service and Easter Thanks
The children, staff, parents and carers in attendance this morning enjoyed an excellent Easter Service in Galston Parish Church, conducted by Reverand Lacy. A well-deserved “Thank You” goes to Reverand Lacy for conducting the service. Helping him were Penny, Struan, and Harry who told the Easter Story and Myka who recited the Jellybean poem. A huge thank you to them and to all of the children who sang in their classes.
Thanks, must also go to Jim Hewitson, our crossing patroller, for the donation of creme eggs for pupils. It was very much appreciated by all.
A huge thanks to everyone who brought in tissues and wet wipes as part of our dress down day yesterday. It was an excellent turnout, and everyone appeared to have enjoyed the day.
From all of us here at Galston Primary we hope you have a safe and happy Easter break. We look forward to seeing the children back to school on Monday 15th April.
Easter Craft
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to our Easter Crafts after school today. It was lovely to see you enjoying crafting with the children and all of those smiling faces on such a wet day. Thank you to the staff members who organised the crafts and the afternoon. It was very much appreciated by everyone who came along.
Digital Leaders Message
Chromebook Pilot Project
By Erin and Hibba
Digital Leaders
In Primary 5/6 and Primary 6W have recently been practicing using Chromebooks in daily school life.
This has been helping by improving our productiveness, and independence for we are able to research to our hearts desire.
We have been in tailored lessons for this resource, to improve our technological skills. We are soon planning a digital art lesson using our Chromebooks. Furthermore, we have been introduced to new apps and websites, which has extended our knowledge. Most importantly, we have been taught valuable lessons on how to look after things.
Soon after the Easter holidays if the permission form was signed, we will be able to take them home to do further homework and classwork for those who don’t have access to technology.
Thank You for Our Spring Fling
Thank you to Galston Parent Council for organising our spring fling discos last night (20th March).

Thank you to all of the adults who helped out on the night.
