East Renfrewshire Cross Country
Today saw the annual East Renfrewshire Schools Cross Country championship held at Rouken Glen Park. A team of 16 pupils from P5 to P7 represented Busby. All pupils were a credit to the school, pushing themselves physically to complete a gruelling, muddy course.
Although we were unsuccessful in terms of collecting silverware, all those involved should be extremely proud of their individual and team performances. They were all amazing!
Sport For All
East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure have lots of opportunities for our youngsters!
Theatre Update

Burns Supper
25th January 2015 saw Busby hold its very first Burns Supper Event, held in the school for invited guests, parents and members of the wider Busby Family. The event was a huge success, with all attendees enjoying excellent catering, hospitality and entertainment. A wealth of positive comments were paid about the evening and all the pupils that participated in making the evening such a success were an absolute credit to themselves and the school.

Google Expeditions
What a fantastic experience for our P4 and P5 pupils this afternoon, supported by Colin from Google. The pupils were able to explore the universe and The Great Barrier Reef using Google Cardboard virtual reality viewers. From the oohs and aaghs that filled the room a great time was had by all!
Yellow Folders
Your child’s yellow folder will make its way home in schoolbags tomorrow to allow you to see some of the work undertaken this session. We hope you enjoy sharing this with your child. Can we ask you to ensure you sign and comment on the relevant sheet and return the folder to school next week.
