Congratulations go to Rebecca (P7) on gaining a place with the British Skating Development Squad. All the hard work and determination, including three 5.30am starts a week have certainly paid off. Her talents have also been recognised with a nomination for the South Lanarkshire Sports Awards.
All the Busby Family are extremely proud of Rebecca. Well done!
Taking advantage of the good weather, P1 took their PE outdoors today. Mrs Kerr was teaching the pupils how to skip. Much concentration was on show, but the big smiles showed how much fun everyone was having!
On Tuesday afternoon, some of our P7 pupils had the chance to visit Williamwood to compete in a Cluster P7 Maths Challenge. Working in teams with pupils from Carolside and Netherlee, many tricky problems had to be solved. All pupils had a fantastic time and should be very proud of their performance. Special mention to Caragh, who was part of the winning team!
We are underway with the installation of our new Cob Oven. Click the photo below for more details!

Today saw democracy in action at Busby Primary School. Busby Community Council are raising funds to carry out improvements to the children’s play area at Cartside Road. Our pupils had the opportunity to cast their vote for one of the three different proposals.
The pupils were all very excited and took their responsibility seriously!
Yesterday, a selection of our P6 pupils had the opportunity to compete in the annual Williamwood P6 Cluster Maths Challenge. The pupils were put into mixed teams, and worked alongside their peers from Carolside and Netherlee. They were challenged by a variety of different stations, undertook the 12 Card Challenge and completed in the ever-popular Maths relay.
Much fun was had by all, and the pupils maths knowledge was definitely evident. Special congratulations must go to:
