The Eco-Committee spoke to the girls and boys today about Earth Day which takes place on Saturday. Earth Day is an annual event which encourages us to think about protecting and saving our environment. Between the hour of 8.30pm and 9.30pm we should do our best to switch off any electrical appliances to save as much energy as we possibly can.
The Eco-Committee arranged our Golden Time activities to take place outdoors involving no electricity or technology. The pupils had fun taking part in tennis, outdoor sports, a treasure hunt and environmental art.

Primary 6/7 are studying the work of Michelangelo. The children sketched their versions of the famous hands of God and Adam from ‘The Creation of Adam’.
We then had experience of how Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome. To reach the chapel’s ceiling, Michelangelo designed his own scaffold, a flat wooden platform on brackets built out from holes in the wall near the top of the windows, rather than being built up from the floor. He mainly painted in a standing position, however, we decided to sketch some of his work as if we were 60ft in the air. We stuck a piece of paper on the bottom of a table. We all found this activity very hard but some of us mastered it. Here are some pictures of the art work.
“My shoulder hurts!” Erin
“My back is aching!” Megan-Jane.
“My arm is getting sore!” Josh.
Primary 6/7 were invited to Edinburgh on Monday to watch the finals of the Mock Court case.
A big congratulations to Emma and Megan-Jane who won a beautiful award for their gown making skills (they could not have won this trophy without the help of Mrs Sanders so a big thank you again!)
Well done to all the schools who took part!
The Primary 1 and 2s looked out their football boots and spent the morning at Neilston perfecting their football skills. Looks like we may have a few Cristiano Ronaldos on our hands!
Josh and Lauren worked hard to win each of our class heats to go forward to the final of the Knex Challenge at Eastwood High School. They had to work together to come up with a design for a truck with at least 3 wheels to carry various fruit.
Josh and Lauren came 4th out of 13 teams with a score of 19 out of a possible 21 points.
Well done to both of you. You did your school proud!

The website committee have decided to have an Easter egg hunt… with a difference!
We would like everybody to hunt through our website to spot the hidden Easter eggs. There will be 10 eggs hidden in total. Please print out the attached form and write down your name, a short description of the egg and WHERE you spotted it! All forms can be handed to one of the website committee members (Fraser, Michael, Kayla, Mhairi, Gabriel, Matthew or Amy). Each entry will be put in a hat and the winner will win a prize at our Spring tea.
The hunt will start tomorrow (Friday 27th March) at 3.15pm.
Best of luck and break an egg!
Primary 1/2 took their learning outdoors yesterday as they visited the glen to act out the story David and Goliath.
Mikey played the role of brave David and Lewis was a very scary Goliath. Looks like you all had lots of fun!

A huge congratulations to Mrs Orr and P4/5 who have completed their Micro Tyco project and raised an astonishing £1489.67!

P4/5 would like to say a final thank you to all the friends, staff, pupils and parents who helped us raise such a large sum of money.

As you have probably heard there was a solar eclipse which took place today. An ‘eclipse’ is when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth which make some parts of the world go dark.
We all went out to the playground with our solar eclipse viewers and watched the moon eclipse the sun. It was really fascinating to watch this happen. The last major eclipse took place in 1999 and then next one won’t happen until 2026!
The boys and girls of Uplawmoor enjoyed a trip to Alloway last Tuesday, to visit the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.
The extensive museum is set in 10 acres of beautiful countryside in Alloway and the site includes a collection of buildings and landmarks that are all connected to the poet’s life, including Burns’ Cottage where he was born in 1759, the Burns Monument and Brig O’ Doon, from his famous poem Tam O’ Shanter.
Look out for our very own young Robert B….Black!
Well done to the all the runners who entered the East Renfrewshire Cross Country Championships at Rouken Glen Park last Wednesday. Despite the awful weather, each member of our team completed the course and ran their (soggy) socks off!
Well done to our five hard working children who have all earned themselves the title of Star Pupil!
