Thank you to all parents and friends who attended this afternoon’s STEM showcase. We hope you enjoyed seeing the displays from each class. It has been a very successful STEM fortnight and the children have enjoyed the ‘Star Wars’ theme.
Thank you to Mrs Henderson for taking photographs today.
We will update the STEM page in due course.
We have updated the Edinburgh Trip page with more photos and information.
Thank you to all pupils and staff who made the effort to dress up today. Some of the outfits were amazing.
A huge well done to our catering team – the Star Wars themed lunch was outstanding.
Reminder – the kitchen are putting on a special Star Wars themed buffet lunch tomorrow (Tuesday 21st March). The lunch will cost the usual £2.00 for pupils in P4-P7. All pupils in P1-P3 are entitled to a free school lunch.
Pupils will be able to choose from a wide selection of foods including:
Everyone slept well and we are off to the Day 2 activities. Group 1 have made it to the observatory with minimal complaining about the 50 minute walk. We have just climbed the 89 stairs to the telescope (yes we counted!) and are ready to start our workshop.
Mrs Oswald’s group are currently at Camera Obscura.
We have arrived at Dynamic Earth. Everyone is very excited and looking forward to the day!
Miss Lawson took her choir to compete at the Glasgow Music Festival on Tuesday 14th March. The girls sang beautifully with the adjudicators commenting that “the tempo nuances were well handled” and it was “a very well constructed programme.”
Well done to Miss Lawson and the choir.
There is a special lunch menu on Tuesday 14th March as we invite pupils to build their own sandwich.
Well done to Adam, Emma, Natasha, Susannah and Maya who represented Busby at the East Renfrewshire ‘Euroquiz’ heat this morning. The team came in second place to Springhill and Auchenback Primary School. We are all very proud of them!
Our French Family fun evening was a great success. Families chose two from a choice of six French themed activities. Miss Wight led the ‘French Bake Off’ as pupils and parents tried to make the perfect crepe. Mrs Oswald asked questions on French culture in the quiz and Miss Woods called out the numbers in the Lotto game – in French of course! Mr Weir was in charge of ‘Le Grand Design’ as families attempted to build the Eiffel Tower from spaghetti and marshmallows. Miss Hunter invited families to ‘Show Me the Monet’ as they attempted to recreate the famous ‘Water Lily Pond’ painting and Mrs Robinson refereed games of Petanque in the main hall.
With prizes on offer for all activities, the competitive sides of our parents and pupils were on full display! It was a fun evening and we hope all families who attended had a great time.
On Friday 3rd March, pupils in P6 and P7 are invited to a fairtrade breakfast. Pupils can bring their pyjamas to school and the Fairtrade committee will prepare and serve a delicous Fairtrade breakfast.
Pupils wishing to go to the breakfast should bring a donation of £1 to school with them on Wednesday or Thursday.
Please note this is for P6 and P7 pupils only. There will be Fairtrade activities for younger pupils later in the school year.
All pupils participated in our latest House Trauchle on Monday 27th February. They had to be fast on the buzzer as they competed in the ‘Busby Buzzerz’ quiz.

The school will be closed on Thursday 4th May as it is being used as a polling station for the local elections.
