On Friday 15th November, we had lots of fun raising money for Children in Need. We paid £1 to wear our own clothes and some of us wore our pyjamas! We did a Pudsey bear hunt in the gym hall and outdoors which was great fun. I found Pudsey so I got some sweets! At playtime I bought a Pudsey biscuit for 35p, it was tasty!

Thank you to all the parents and family who were able to attend our Rainforest assembly last Thursday. You all made it very special for us and although we were nervous, we enjoyed performing for you and showing you all our hard work. Here are some pictures of us presenting our puppets to the class. What rainforest animals can you spot?
Primary 4/5 welcome their family to come and enjoy our Rainforest Assembly tomorrow. The show starts at 2.30pm and should finish around 3pm. We will see you all then.
Mrs Gray has retired after working in Uplawmoor Primary for 18 short years. The whole school put on a show which celebrated Mrs Gray’s retirement. We sang some songs and the P7s shared their favourite memories of Mrs Gray. The instrumentalists played some of Mrs Gray’s favourite music, including Katie’s version of Titanic. To top it off, the Glee club performed ‘Time of your Life’ as a tribute to her imaginary boyfriend (Patrick Swayze
Mrs Gray gave P6/7 and P4/5 a tub of chocolates and P1-3 received a box of Haribos. We had a wonderful afternoon and we hope Mrs Gray and her family enjoyed themselves.
We will miss you Mrs Gray! By Luca P7
The boys and girls of Uplawmoor Primary School are all members of a school committee. Each committee meet on a Tuesday where children have the opportunity to work with a member of staff to discuss ideas linking to their committee and plan upcoming events. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to raise the profile of the school and lead us towards excellence.
The website committee are in charge of keeping our website up to date so please come and speak to Ruby, Jack (M), Jack (W), Christopher, Dylan, Rob or Luca if your class are doing something exciting and we will happily put it on the website!

A big well done to the Tug of War Team and Relay Runners who represented our school today at the Neilston Show. The Tug of War Team were first and both the boys and girls Relay Teams were second. A fantastic result for everyone involved.
The Uplawmoor Dance club did our school proud last night as they came joint second in the East Renfrewshire Dance Championships. The competition was held at Eastwood High School and out of fourteen acts, Uplawmoor Primary’s Street Dance routine earned them joint second place. The girls (and Matthew) performed a Tinnie Tempah, Willow Smith and Black Eyed Peas medley. Well done to the Uplawmoor Crew! We are all so proud of you!
Our fundraising today raised over £700 for Comic Relief and there is still sponsorship money to come in. This whopping amount was raised by dressing Funny for Money, selling red noses, joke books, wristbands, Red Nose biscuits and from sponsorship for our Dance-a-thon. Thank you to everyone for joining in and for helping us raise so much money. We will let you know the final amount raised very soon.
Our Primary 6/7 pupils have been learning how to knit by volunteers from the Kirkton Centre. They have completed their 6 week programme and have all completed a piece for their class blanket. Well done to everyone involved.
