Primary 4&5 have been very engaged with their reading. Each day, we have some quiet time dedicated to personal reading and the children show great focus on reading their books.
Every classroom in Bowmore Primary School has a reading area where children can enjoy reading in a comfortable and quiet environment.
✨Primary 1-3 have been very busy learning about the weather and climate. They have been learning about the different instruments used to measure the weather and so decided to make their own wind sock! P2 and 3 learnt about the compass points and we tested our wind socks to see which direction the wind was coming from! 🐾 Next Steps – Measure and record the weather.

Lots of learning and fun took place as we celebrated World Book Day in lots of different ways.
Primary 1 and 2 made their own ‘tattie characters’, these were inspired by characters from our favourite books. This supported us in talking about different aspects of characterisation.
G1-2 and P1 and 2 had fun completing the World Book Day scavenger hunts, this was a great chance for us to explore a wide range of books and talk about books that are familiar to us.
Primary 3, and 4 used the AR MAKR app to make a story map for World Book Day! They had great fun exploring the app for the first time and loved getting outdoors too!

Our home learners in P5,6 and 7 engaged in World Book Day by reading a story to the P1/2 class using Google Meet, this was a great way to say hello and to enjoy some of our favourite stories!
Congratulations to Lola Mackenzie who was awarded the first level prize for the oot an’ aboot category in the Inside Competition. When out on a bear hunt, Lola noted that the grass was so tall, it was taller than her!
We investigated maths in the world around us as we took part in the Maths Inside Competition. We spotted lots of examples of maths in the world around us and we photographed and talked about these examples. Bowmore Primary was commended for it’s high level of participation in the competition.
In March 2020, just at the start of the first Lockdown, we received the fantastic news that we had retained our Green Flag status! Our chosen topics, identified after our Environmental Review, were Litter, School Grounds and Global Citizenship. Our Eco Change Maker group were the drivers behind our Eco journey but it was our whole school approach that was highlighted as being extremely impressive. Eco-Schools Scotland said that it had been a real pleasure to go through our application and to learn about all the fantastic work that had been taking place during the past years in Bowmore Primary School. It was said that we were a very active and involved school which showed a great example of what being an Eco-School really means.
We want to thank the parent council for all of our new outdoor learning resources. The parent council have supported the provision of outdoor learning by purchasing a range of outdoor learning equipment, these have included loose parts, a new water station for ELC, new waterproofs for the upper school, den building equipment and many open ended resources. We look forward to having fun in the outdoors.
We are extremely proud to announce that we have been award the full STEM Nation Award from Education Scotland. After submitting a detailed portfolio and taking part in interviews, we were awarded all five categories:
