Last term our school held a fundraising event to raise money for the Marie Curie Charity. The whole school took part in a Daffodil Tea, performing songs and poems to our parents, carers and local community members. They sat back and watched our performances whilst enjoying a range of delicious cakes with a tea or coffee. This event was a real success! Afterwards, some of our senior pupils had the opportunity
Massive well done to all the boys and girls who auditioned for a part in our summer show, Bugsy Malone! We’ve had a successful week of auditions and are super impressed by the talent of our senior pupils. Our cast should be announced next week…good luck everyone!!
The boys and girls in P7a had a lovely morning duirng their visit to Barmulloch Library last Friday. We had a chance to browse the wonderful books they had and then chose some to take home. We are looking forward to visiting again soon!
Today the boys and girls in Primary 7a have been really busy making gas masks. They have been learning all about the ways people tried to stay safe during the war.
This term we are all learning about World War 2 as part of our Social Studies topic. Over the last few weeks we have been learning about Evacuation and discussing what it must have been like for children during the war. In class we made Identity cards and did some role play sharing thoughts and feelings on the experiences of evacuated children.
Here are a few highlights from our senior Ceilidh held at the end of January to celebrate the learning carried out on Scotland and Robert Burns. The boys and girls in P6 and P7 have worked really hard this term learning the steps to lots of Scottish country dances. Everyone had a great night! 🙂
Primary 7a had a great morning yesterday when Ms Miller from the English department at Springburn Academy came down to work with them on Active Reading Strategies. She was very impressed with everyones work and we are all looking forward to her next visit in a few weeks. #transtition #successfullearners
