Primary 4 went on their trip to Vikingar in Largs.
The pupils were able to dress up in the original clothing that some Vikings wore, they were also allowed to wear Viking armour like chainmail.
They also explored ways in which the Vikings cooked and what their diet consisted of such as porridge and fish.
Primary 5/6 also visited the Science centre,
The pupils explored a 3d house where they walked around moving the house making it difficult for them to stay balanced and on their own feet. They also explored energy and different ways of making energy through renewable ways.
The pupils watched a Tesla coil where the scientist puts a metal rod on top of it creating lightning strike.
Primary 7 went on their school trip recently to the Glasgow Science Centre.
During their trip they explored creating energy with a hamster wheel, The pupils were to run as fast as they can inside the wheel which created energy to fill up a bar all the way to the top before you could stop.
The pupils also completed an activity on an x-ray bike. The pupils were to cycle on a bike whilst it took a x-ray of them showing their bones moving whilst they cycled.
Primary 7 had a great time.
On Friday 17th of March Hillhead Primary school celebrated Red Nose Day 2023.
Pupils wore their best red clothing throughout the day and completed some red nose day tasks. All classes followed the Red Nose Day theme of Mr Men and Little Miss by creating their own Mr Men or Little Miss character.
Some classes also completed an additional task of creating their own red nose. All work completed was handed into to Miss Quinn’s classroom where the media committee chose a couple of examples to include in this post.
Finally, as a school we raised a huge £94.83!!
Well done Hillhead Primary School. 
After a long second Lockdown our 2020 Community Mosaic has finally been completed. Hard work from staff and pupils alike resulted in a beautiful and timeless reminder of our resilience and appreciation of our community.

We used our time over lock-down as wisely as we could and, whilst remaining safe and social distancing, staff were still able to bring our fantastic garden area up to date.
A huge thankyou to members of the community who offered their time and resources to help transform our garden. A big thank you to Lakeside Landscapes for their huge donations of bark and weed control fabric as well as the parents and carers who donated the paint.
Looking after this area will be an ongoing job and we will be in touch shortly looking for a group from the community who may be able to lend a hand in know-how and labour!
A huge welcome back to all staff and pupils and a big Hello to all Primary 1 pupils and those new to our school. We can’t wait to get started and see what you achieve!
Following our recent consultation with pupils, families, staff and other partners we are delighted to tell you that our chosen values are:
Congratulations to P3/4 and Mrs Harper who won our first ever Great Hillhead Bake Off with their apple filled cupcakes. Every class worked hard to make a variety of apple based tasty treats with apples from our very own orchard. Paul Hollywood would be proud!
A massive well done to our P6 and P7 Cross Country team who all performed extremely well to at The Ayrshire Athletics Arena. We even managed to get a 3rd place in the P6 Boys event. 
As part of our Natural Disasters topic, we created buildings from spaghetti and marshmallow that we hoped could withstand a ‘table-shaking’ earthquake. Each team had a budget and each item had a price so we had to think carefully about the materials we needed. Our project Manager was responsible for the materials, the Treasurer was responsible for the budget, the Architect designed our structure and the Technology Director did the research. Afterwards, we tried out our structures to see if they could withstand an earthquake!
Each week, we take part in different Spelling activities to help us learn our words. This week we were using plasticine in creative ways, sign language, spelling activity cards and stencils. We mix it up each week to give us a chance to try new ways of learning.
We have been using Class Dojo to help us understand how we learn. This has helped us to be more confident in trying new challenges and accepting that sometimes we need help from others to succeed. We have created PowerPoints on this as we wanted to be able to share this information with others.
We are closed on Friday 15th and Monday 18th for the September weekend. Have fun everyone!
Tempest Photography will be in school on Thursday 14th September to take individual and family group photographs. As normal full school uniform should be worn. Thanks.
