Tesco Bags Of Help
At Busby, we are hoping to install a vertical garden at the rear of the school. We have been in discussions with international environmental artist, Marc Granen and a consultancy called Nature Harmonics to try and bring this exciting project to life. In order to raise the necessary funds, we have managed to secure a place in the latest Tesco Bags of Help vote.
If you are shopping in one of these stores, please cast your vote for Busby!

French Family Fun Evening – C’était fantastique!
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.
French Family Evening
As part of our work on parental engagement, we are hosting a French Family Fun Evening on Tuesday 28th February, 6.45-8.00pm. All families are welcome to attend.

It promises to be a wonderful evening – très intéressant!
