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!

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:
Harris, Jennifer and Erin, who finished in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd finishing teams!
Following an exciting train journey yesterday afternoon, Busby was ably represented in the first of this year’s Active Schools’ Football events. Our pupils had the opportunity to pit their skills against teams from Giffnock Primary, Braidbar Primary and Thornliebank Primary.

Today saw four of our pupils compete in the Cluster K’Nex challenge, taking on teams from the other schools. The pupils had to work effectively as a team to design and build a crane. After much hard work and dextrous manufacture, the team of Jennifer and Erin (P6) triumphed and will now go on to represent the Cluster at the Regional Final.
Well done girls we are extremely proud of you!
“This was our first competition. Our crane was really strong and we worked really well as a team. We ended up winning the event and are really excited to be going to the Regional Challenge!”
Samuel and Cameron also competed. We are very proud of their efforts too, the model looks great!
“We really enjoyed working together. We built a crane with rope and K’Nex. The design was like a digger, with a crane attachment. It was a fantastic afternoon!”
Everyone enjoyed Primary 6’s wonderful ‘Happiness’ assembly this morning at the church.
Well done to Miss Harris and P6.
