Today we were putting our team work and writing skills to the test. We were having to write a story with a theme of winter or Christmas. The children had to think about the setting and characters that would be in their story. This was extended to designing the backdrop for their stories and making their characters using Play – Doh. In the next coming days the children will use stop start motion to make their stories come to life.

Make Busby Shine Bright!

Each child has designed a lantern in class to spread a little winter magic in the community.

We thought we would celebrate the community spirit that continues to grow by making Busby light up with our lanterns.

At 4 pm on Saturday 12th December when it becomes dark, we invite you all to place your lanterns onto a windowsill in your home and illuminate them using the glow sticks that we have given the children. You could also use fairy lights or led candles. Please do not use lit candles!

Why not take a walk through Busby to spot some lanterns. You can share your photos on the school Twitter feed using

During Flexible Friday the children decided to measure one another to calculate their height. They used metre sticks and they then compared it to the national average height for their age. Well done for finding maths used in everyday life P7!

OH NO!

THE GRINCH HAS DESTROYED OUR CLASS!

Primary 7 arrived to a messed up classroom,

Our elf was taken hostage too,

The Christmas tree was left lying on its side,

And toilet paper was thrown too.

A mess we were left with to clean,

Hopefully the Grinch is changed from being mean.
