Class Staffa invited their parents into class for an open morning.
They watched the morning group and then the premier of their class assembly which they are going to perform to the whole school this afternoon.
It was a fun filled, interactive morning with the children sharing their skills and knowledge, empowering them to become successful learners and confident individuals.
Thank you to everyone who came to our Easter service this morning.
The singing was wonderful and we all loved the Easter song from the Family Centre children.
After the Easter story, all the children were invited by Rev Roddick to place a flower on the Easter cross.
Class Staffa looked splendid in their Easter bonnets which they decorated in class.
A huge thank you to Olivia and Amy who performed the welcome and school song using makaton.
Our Easter Service takes place Tuesday 31st March, 10:30am at Newton Mearns Baptist Church.
Everyone welcome
At today’s assembly we had a rehearsal for our Easter Service.
We also celebrated some of our recent pupil sporting achievments, at the West of Scotland Swimming Gala for pupils with a physical and or visual impairment and cross country events.

Well done everyone.
Last Friday we celebrated Burns day with a whole school assembly which included some of the children from the Family Centre.
All the classes participated by either, singing, exhibiting art work or reciting some poetry and our Reels on Wheels group performed 2 dances for us.
It was a great event, promoting confident individuals and successful learners.
Have a look at some of our photographs below.
All classes have been learning about Robert Burns and to celebrate the end of this topic, they will showcase what they have learned during assembly tomorrow afteroon. This will take the form of art work, poetry, dance, song and a quiz.
If possible could pupils wear or bring in something tartan.
Have a look at some of our art work from last year.
Class Iona presented at this weeks assembly. They have been organising the “ShoeBox” Appeal. A slideshow of photographs was shown to the primary department to highlight the work they have undertaken. One of the highlights of the assembly was Leah singing our school song, a great achievement for her.
They appealed for all the pupils to contribute items to support the shoebox appeal, i.e toothpaste, soap, brushes, pens etc. They were overwhelmed with donations and with the help from the parents of Class Iona we were able to make up and send 65 boxes to the appeal.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Shoe Box Appeal, with your contributions we also raised £100 to contribute towards the postage of the Christmas boxes.
Have a look at some of our photographs below showing class Iona collecting, packing and delivering the shoeboxes to Blythswood Care who will in turn post them off to deserving children and adults.
Class Whalsay led our assembly this week.
They invited their parents and family into school to watch their showcase.
They had prepared a presentation highlighting some of their recent topic work, World War 2.
They used the internet to research information, collect photographs and they also visited a museum looking at lots of artefacts from the war.
The highlight of their assembly was a small drama piece all about the war. They dressed up as a charachter, sang songs and performed a dance.
Miss O’Brien took some video footage and Miss McMillan and Mrs Reed will show it to the class next week and use this as evidence for their achievement folders.
Have a look at some of our photographs below.
Classes Skye and Lewis led our secondary assembly this afternoon and their theme was “Out and About in the Community”
Both classes have been working hard on their topics, visiting various places in the local community.
They have participated in visits to local shops and cafes, making choices, working as a group and exchanging money.
Independent travel has also been incorporated in our visits to Whitlee Wind Farm and the local recycling centre.
As part of their assembly a short movie was made to show the rest of the school the learning experiences that they have taken part in.
One of the pupils from Class Lewis introduced the assembly by reading out his introduction, a great achievement!
At the end of the assembly the pupils took part in a small discussion about the learning experiences that they saw in the DVD.
Well done to all the pupils from Classes Lewis and Skye.
