Our Comic Relief bake sale was a huge success! P6 and P7 worked together to bake delicious treats like banana loaf and pancakes, and set up a bright, welcoming stall. Everyone took turns serving customers, handling money, and keeping the table tidy. It was great to see so many people supporting the cause and enjoying our baking. In the end, we raised an amazing amount of money to help children who need it most. This links to the UNCRC, especially Article 12, as we got to share our ideas and make decisions, and Article 27, because the money we raised will help children have a better standard of living. We’re so proud of what we achieved!

A series of lessons the children underwent about budgeting and Greek culture specifically food. To begin we worked through researching Greek dishes and snacks, we wrote a recipe for Spanakopita. Then the class visited the co-op in groups and worked out change and cost to stay within a budget to purchase the food. We then talked about food preparation, hygiene and they importance of trying new foods. What a fantastic lot of chefs in the class. The class were investigators, researchers, accountants, chefs and kids learning whilst having fun! It not only linked into out topic but also the UNCRC the rights to research article 13, article 17, article 24 and article 31.

✨P1-3 have been learning about how to stay safe online. We watched some videos called The Adventures of Karen, Winston and the SMART Crew. Then we made an infographic of our learning.

These three pupils have shown that they are excellent eco warriors by taking part in their own beach clean over the weekend. Well done for helping our environment girls!

⭐We are learning to describe key features of religious celebrations. Today we experienced how people celebrate Hanukkah. We made latkes, cards and created menorahs using lose parts

P6/7 have been learning to investigate the environmental impact of human activity and make changes to help our environment. We have been exploring eco friendly options that can be used to reduce waste and single plastic use over Christmas. We have made homemade Christmas crackers, decorations and wrapping paper.

Primary 4 and 5 have been learning about the Titanic and they worked as a team to recreate the Titanic, the children went inside it, got into character and had lots of fun!

This week the P6&7 class have been learning about the UNCRC Rights of the Child and revisiting the SHANARRI wellbeing wheel. We have been using this information to discuss and agree on our Class Charter Rules, voting for the rights and responsibilities most important to us. Next week they will create their Class Charter display in the classroom.

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.

Today we listened to Miss McKerrell reading a story from the active board. The story was called Digiduck and the Big Decision. In the story, digiduck learned that it can be upsetting to make fun of your friends online even when you think it’s just a joke. After the story we had a talk about when things pop up on our screens and what we should do about it. Then we drew a picture of one of the characters from the story.
