This week p4 were engaged in lessons focused on World Book Day. The pupils created fantastic story shoeboxes which showcased their understanding of the text.  We are sure you will agree that The results are fantastic!

Today p5 pupils visited Sky Studios in Livingstone to make a news report all about Future Tech.

Please enjoy the photos from the day, the video of the news report will be uploaded to the website for you to watch later this week.

On a Wednesday at Mearns we enjoy achievement assemblies. Today a number of pupils were recognised for their great work in literacy, numeracy, dressing for excellence and respecting school values.

Miss Hunter also presented a group of primary 6 pupils with a Headteachers award for their recent presentation at Marks & Spencers.

Thank you to the parents who attended last night.

It was great to see so many parents in the school and visiting the stalls in the Street. Our literacy and numeracy kits were extremely popular, so if you are attending on Thursday night make sure you come and take a look at them.

Also, don’t forget to visit the book fair and Fairtrade stall to see what is on offer.

Following consultation with East Renfrewshire Council, Police Scotland and staff, Parent’s Night will go ahead as planned.

After school clubs are also on.

Today primary 1-3 took part in a sponsored obstacle course! The pupils all had a great time in the games hall and loved participating and raising money for the Mearns Masters programme.

Money can still be donated to the school via ParentPay.

We were delighted to see all our staff and pupils return to school this morning. The school was buzzing with stories of sledging and snowmen!
