Thank you to the pupils for their competition entries.
We have received confirmation from Royal Mail that the entries have been accepted. They have received nearly 100,000 letters! The judging process has started in earnest and every letter will now be read by our team of judges. 120 finalists will be selected, then the winners will be chosen by a panel of judges, including TV presenter Helen Skelton.
It will take about two months for the judges to read through all the letters and select the 120 finalists. We will be notified around the end of January if any of our entries is a finalist or a winner.
The school are holding a P2-P7 Numeracy Curriculum Evening
on Wednesday 25th November 5.45 – 7.20pm
All welcome!

As you may be aware East Renfrewshire Council are currently reviewing admin/clerical processes across the department and also looking to improve upon the current online payments system.
Given the obvious link between both they have created a short survey for parents/carers which they hope will capture your views on both preferred methods of general (admin type) communications with schools/pre-five establishments and also your thoughts on the online payment solution.
If you could spare a few minutes to complete the survey it would greatly appeciated.

We raised a total of £513.16 ! from which we will make a donation to Yorkhill Hospital.
The children did a really wonderful job representing Busby Primary and we had so many positive comments from customers saying how smart, polite and helpful the children were – so a very big thank you and well done to P7s Abby, Libby, Sophie, Steven, Thomas, Keir, Ellie, Sally, Fran, Lou, Nicholas, Owen and Niamh and all their parents !
A big thank you also to Erin, Caleb and Eva who also bag packed and to those P7s who were enjoying bag packing so much they stayed on beyond their allotted time .
Asda staff were very accommodating and friendly. Customers were very generous, some of whom still donated, even though they chose to pack their own bags. Will write a thank you to Jen at Asda.
Everyone is keen to do again !
