P4/5 Micro Tyco – Final Amount!

DSCN1107A huge congratulations to Mrs Orr and P4/5 who have completed their Micro Tyco project and raised an astonishing £1489.67!

The money will be invested by a charity called Wildhearts to help the world’s poorest people work their own way out of poverty with dignity and self respect.

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.

P4/5 Host a Movie Afternoon

The boys and girls of Uplawmoor had the pleasure of attending a movie afternoon at the Mure Hall as part of Primary 4/5’s Micro Tyco enterprise topic.

The whole school enjoyed popcorn and snacks and settled down to a screening of ‘Bugsy Malone’. A big thank you to the parents who gave up their time to ensure the event ran smoothly. We look forward to the ‘Skills’ auction on Friday which will raise even more money for a wonderful cause. Well done P4/5!

Thank you for our Tripod!

Primary 6/7 would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents, staff and friends who purchased a Welcome to Uplawmoor DVD from us. 

We raised £58 and we are delighted to announce we were able to purchase a tripod for the school.  We would like to personally thank Eva’s dad, Matt,  who sourced a fantastic deal for us. 

We have already used our tripod to record our performance with Pace!

Intergenerational Quiz

Team Uplawmoor have triumphed again!  On Friday Niamh, Tiana, Rob and Shannon represented our school in the Intergenerational Quiz held in Paisley.  Along with their ‘wiser’ friends they managed to beat off the competition to come overall first place – winning by 2 clear points.

What a fantastic achievement!  We are all very proud of you.

Another trophy for the cabinet!

P6/7 Visit the City Chambers

Primary 6/7 took a trip to Glasgow’s City Chambers as part of their Mock Court Case topic.   They learned about civil law and gained some insight into the different  roles and responsibilities of those who work in law.

To gain further understanding for our own court case, the children also listened to experts talk about taxes, mobile phone contracts and how to design a barrister’s robe.  Megan-Jane was picked to model an actual gown used in court!

Our case is about a lady called Mrs Telfer and she hasn’t paid her mobile phone bill to the company ‘Talk and Text’.  There are different jobs for us like witnesses, lawyers,  gown makers and artists.”   Amy Cupples P6

Eco Poster Competition

Miss Dawson-Bowman’s Eco Committee set the boys and girls a challenge to design an Eco-friendly poster.  Each class had an eco subject to focus on, such as, recycling or saving energy.

The Eco committee judged each entry and decided on the winning posters from each class (see below).

The winers were Ruby, Alexander, Cameron, Megan-Jane and Shannon.

These posters will be professionally printed and displayed on the ‘Eco Wall’ in our gym hall.  The standard was so high that Miss Dawson-Bowman announced there will be awards for runners up.

Well done to our winners and all who took part.7

Star Pupils and Achievements

Here are our recent Star Pupils who were awarded with their yellow stars before the October week.

A big well done to Rob, Garbiel, Abigale, Blaine, Toni, Mikey, Jody and Shannon.  Also, Arrah in P4 kindly brought in the rosettes her Jack Russell dogs have won in various dog shows.  Well done Arrah (and a big ‘woof woof’ to your dogs!)
