It was Festive Lunch day at school today. Pupils enjoyed a choice of turkey with all the trimmings, sausages and mash or pasta with sauce. The lunch ladies coped admirably with all the extra lunch customers. Thanks to all parents and children who chose from our special menu.
Busby was very ably represented at the Big Bake Off Scotland by our Head Boy and Head Girl who were asked to be judges in the national competition. Much cake was tasted, tested and enjoyed on the way to making an informed decision. Their expertise helped to crown Scotland’s top school cook. A fantastic experience was had and both returned to school with large smiles and much licking of lips.
Yesterday, we were represented by 8 pupils in the Active Schools Cluster Badminton Championships held at Carolside Primary. All team members played extremely well, and after all of the amazing rallies and games, we finished a very respectable second.
Well done to all the participants, who represented the school fantastically and demonstrated great sportsmanship, whether in victory or defeat.
As part of Scottish School Meals Week, the kitchen will be selling ‘Social Bite’ biscuits at break and lunch time tomorrow (Friday 4th November) . The biscuits will cost 35p, 10p of which will be donated to Social Bite. The biscuits must be paid for in cash at the time of purchase. They cannot be purchased using money from your child’s school meal account.
Social Bite is a ‘Social Business’ – 100% of their profits are given to good causes and 1 in 4 of their team are formerly homeless people. They also feed the local homeless community through their ‘Suspended Coffee and Food’ initiative.
Thank you

Miss Hunter
Busby Primary said a sad farewell to our outgoing P7 year group on Friday 24th June. The P7s led a wonderful and emotional service at Busby Parish Church before coming back to the school to get their shirts and yearbooks signed.
All pupils and staff lined up to cheer them out of the school when the bell rang at 1pm. Class of 2015/16 – we will miss you!
