Active Schools’ Football

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.

A record of one defeat, two draws and a victory made for a successful afternoon and all pupils participating thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Cluster K’Nex

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!”
