The children had a great second day. Miss Taylor’s group went rock-hopping and had a fabulous time. After dinner there was a sea-shore safari. Quite a lot of wet clothing already!

Glasgow Music Festival Success!
Congratulations to our choirs and musicians who performed at the Glasgow Music Festival this week. The P1 and P2 “Busbits” performed ‘Blitzy Boy’s Tail’ and the P4, P5, P6 and P7 choir and musicians performed a fantasic rendition of ‘Under the Sea’. This performance was so good that they came first in their catagory. Well done to everyone involved. A big thank you to Mrs Cairnie and Miss Milne who gave up their time to rehearse with the children.

Castle Toward – Friday
The P7s have had a fabulous time and can’t wait to share most of their stories! They arrived back at 2.30pm. This group shot was taken just before they left. A big thank-you to Miss Taylor, Mrs Robinson and Mrs Rutherford for giving up their time this week to accompany the children.
Castle Toward – Wednesday
Today, Robin Hood has a new band of merry men and women!
Go Charlotte – don’t look down!
P7 Castle Toward – Tuesday
Everyone loved the late night walk last night and eventually all settled down to a good night’s sleep!
This morning started off dry, but not for all the groups. Miss Taylor and her group undertook the challenge of the gorge walk. Thankfully, there were no spiders to distract Miss Taylor. Meanwhile, Catriona and John reached the highest point on the High Rope Challenge and Damien took the lead in a challenge to rescue the teachers from across the swamp using only a few crates. Perhaps the biggest suprise of the day was that he actually wanted to rescue the teachers!
The children also had to get the ‘toxic waste’ from the poisoned grassland without spilling it. If it falls over, run……!
P7 Castle Toward Residential Visit
Oh What a Show!!!
We all had a fantastic time last night. We hope you all enjoyed, “The Wizard of Clarkston” too. All of the children and staff are absolute stars. They worked so hard to make last night so very special. The costumes looked stunning and the band were excellent.
Thanks again to all our helpers that gave their time and energy into making last night such a fantastic experience and demonstrating, again, how all the Busby Family work together to ensure our children have these amazing opportunities.
If you would like to make a comment about the show, please reply to this post. Thank-you
University of Glasgow Mathematics Challenge 2012
In a competition of 1428 entrants, the following pupils achieved an award at the year’s Primary Maths Challenge.
Cami was awarded a silver certificate and Reagan and Nadia achieved a bronze certificate. The competition requires the students to solve three sets of problems and challenges over the year. Well done to the other pupils who also took part in this. We hope to enter this competition again next year.
Have a go at one of the problems and post your answer. Good luck!
A water tank can be filled by any combination of three different taps. With the smallest tap the tank can be filled in 20 minutes. With the middle tap the tank can be filled in 12 minutes. With the largest tap the tank can be filled in 5 minutes. How long does it take to fill the tank with all three taps running. Explain your reasoning.
