Recognising Achievement

Gaining recognition for the wide range of achievements can increase pupil confidence, raise their aspirations, improve motivation for learning and keep them engaged in education.  It is important that we recognise and celebrate achievements in all contexts for learning, through:

  • the ethos and life of the school as a community
  • curriculum areas and subjects
  • interdisciplinary learning
  • opportunities for personal achievement.

To help us gather this information on pupils’ personal achievements, I would ask you to follow the link below and provide the information required:

https://getinvolved.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/education/pupil-achievements-1

 This link will remain live throughout session 2015-2016.  You can add achievements as often as required by entering your child’s name, class and details of their achievement.

Science Day

On Friday 21st November pupils of St Thomas’ Primary took part in a Science Fun Day to promote and encourage interest in the areas of science and technology.  The children were encouraged to come to school dressed as scientist with lab coats and goggles.  The day began with an exciting Forces assembly where a visiting Physicist, Tom Clark, demonstrated some clever science experiments including floating eggs, balancing coke cans and air cannons!  Throughout the day all the children took part in lots of different experiments and science activities including Spaghetti Challenge, Tie – Dyed Milk and Erupting Volcano experiments.  The day finished off with another assembly where the children shared what they had done.  The children can’t wait till the next Science day!
