Father’s Day Competition
As a loyal education customer with Waterstones, Newton Mearns, we thought you might be interested in our National Poster competition for children to design the posters for our Father’s Day promotion. The brief is simple: the kids have to design a picture of them and their father/father figure/person they’ll be treating this father’s day, and the winner sees their image used in bookstores across the country. Not only that, but they get a £20 voucher to spend in Waterstones on books. Which might mean they pick that perfect Father’s Day gift – – or perhaps something for themselves! We are attaching copies of the entry form for any interested parties. These must be handed to the store by the closing date. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us! And please feel free to pass this on to anyone you think may be interested, too!
The fine print:
With many thanks, and we look forward to seeing some of your pupil’s artistic endeavours!

Lots of great activities planned over the next 2 weeks. Thanks to Mrs O’Connor, Miss Scott and Mr Cook for organising the timetables. They have been very busy!
Chicks in the Nursery
The ‘living eggs’ project has arrived in the nursery. The hatchery is a 10 day experience of looking after the eggs and chicks when they hatch.
Not only do the children experience life cycles and growth and development, the programme encourages social interaction and promotes caring and nurturing skills.

On Monday 10 March, three children from Primary 5 travelled to Paisley to take part in the 2014 Regional Primary Schools Competition run by the Renfrewshire Association of Burns Clubs (RIABC).
