Last Monday, we went along to the Hollywood Bowls at Springfield Quay for our class’ leavers trip. We played bowling (thank goodness we all survived, Ammaar Rana’s throwing technique could have knocked any unlucky person out lol), went to the arcade and enjoyed some delicious lunch. Here’s a few snaps of us in action! 

On Tuesday 23rd, some of us set up a Social Enterprise stall outside the performance at the Tramway Theatre of Unpathed Waters, Undreamed Shores. This show featured many Syrian families from St. Albert’s, and talked about why they can now call Pollokshields home.

We made some gorgeous Glasgow canvas tiles, postcards which merged the Syrian flag and Glasgow’s skyline, and spice medleys to sell at the event. We made a considerable profit, which will go towards The Unity Clinic in Glasgow – a space which gives practical support and solidarity to all asylum seekers and other migrants in Scotland. We also had the chance to discuss our contribution to the Turner Prize Art Awards in 2016, and showcased one of our installations.

Well done to all involved, it was a great success and amazing to hear you talking about the importance of empathy and moral conscience!

Primary 7 have had a really busy week. We hosted our first Cafe Connect on Wednesday afternoon, which was a big success. We sold tea, coffee and cakes, and some of the crafty products we had made previously for our stall at Tuesday’s Tramway event. Well done for hosting P7, you were incredible!  I see potential for a career in hospitality for many of you, especially Muzzammil and Aman – the dream duo.

Here’s the link to the countdown maths game we were playing in mental maths today: https://nrich.maths.org/6499.  You can copy the address and paste it into your browser if you can’t click on it as a link.  Thanks to Ammaar for suggesting we put it on the blog 🙂

Last Friday we attended a beautiful mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral.  The service was for Primary Sevens from across Glasgow who are moving onwards and upwards to secondary school this summer.  We were blessed with a sunny day to walk to the train and through town.  Our very own Shubbe gave a very confident and articulate reading; no small feat in front of hundreds of people!  We were very proud of her.

At the mass, Archbishop Tartaglia made everyone feel welcome and relaxed.  He gave all of the children a gift of a Miraculous Medal of our Lady of Fatima.  As an extra bonus, the children were delighted to catch a glimpse of Mr Church! It was a lovely morning and one we hope the children will look back on fondly.
