Glasgow City Mission

Class Staffa visited Glasgow City Mission  this morning to deliver our harvest collection.

Many thanks to Graham Stephen who met and talked with the class, explaining all about how the donations help others less fortunate.

During the discussion the pupils all told Graham what they brought in for our Harvest table.  Holly told everyone she brought bananas.

 

Sharing experiences with Michael, ERDA

Michael from ERDA  (East Renfrewshire Disability Action) is spending some time with our senior classes up at  Woodfarm High School.

Michael is going to be discussing  his post school experiences, have a question and answer session  with the pupils and then talk a little about hate crime week and how we can engage with that.

Go Green for Halloween Disco

Thank You to Miss Philo and class Islay for organising our “Go Green for Halloween Disco” this afternoon.

We started off with the primary disco and then the senior pupils took to the dance floor, great fun had by everyone.

Prizes were awarded to the best fancy dress and we had some really good ideas this year.

Mr Holmes as usual entertained everyone with his dance moves.

Mrs Clark was even escorted out of the disco for her “bad” dance moves………..

Go Green for Halloween

Pupils and staff dressed up in green today for “Go Green for Halloween” to support NSPCC charity.

We had some activities organised by class Islay to raise money for NSPCC. The sensory challenge box was a particular favourite and the chocolate dipped popcorn and apples went down a treat.
Brogan helped out at the creative corner and encouraged her friends to create a Halloween picture.
