Rights Respecting Schools Mascot

We decided we would love a mascot to show that we are a Rights Respecting School.

We had a competition and every child had the opportunity to design a mascot. We selected 4 favourites and voted to decide which design would become our mascot.

  

The runners up-

The winning design-

The winning design was Mr Crocodile and we got him made into a cuddly toy. Doesn’t he look great. Well done to Leo for producing the winning design.  

Just in case you don’t know, we have a large crocodile lurking in our wooded area of the garden. He was rescued from our old building after a public campaign led by one of our families so Mr Crocodile is perfect!

  

Developing Our Outdoor Space

We wanted to develop our garden to make it more exciting. We had a large grassy hill and another steep slope which we were keen to make better use of.

 

 

 

 

We consulted the children on what they would like to have in the garden.

They voted and chose a rainbow pergola, some log seating for our fire pit area,  a scrambling net and a pull up rope. We had some money left over so also managed to get den poles and a camo net.

Doesn’t our garden look great now!

Commemorative tree planting

When the Queen died in 2022 many members of the public laid flowers at the nearby council offices in her memory. We were asked to make compost from the flowers afterwards. The compost took a long time to make and was finally ready in March 2025.

We were then invited to a tree planting ceremony in Rouken Glen Park to plant two trees using the compost, one in memory of the late Queen and one to honour King Charles 3.

We met some important people- The Provost of East Renfrewshire was there and the Lord Lieutenant of Renfrewshire!
