Our P7 pupils have been busy creating beautiful cherry blossom drawings! They have been developing a range of artistic skills, including careful observation, drawing techniques, line work and attention to detail. They explored how to use different shades of colour, create texture and add depth to their artwork.

The pupils also practised patience, creativity and perseverance as they brought their cherry blossom trees to life. We are so impressed with their fantastic efforts and the beautiful results! 🌸🎨

We have been very lucky to welcome Ewan from Celtic Connections, who has been teaching the children how to play the traditional Scottish bodhrán!

The children have been enjoying learning about this wonderful instrument, discovering its unique sound and having a go at creating their own rhythms.

A fantastic opportunity to explore Scottish music, develop new skills and have lots of fun along the way!

A huge thank you to Ewan for sharing his knowledge, enthusiasm and musical talents with us! 🎶

Our P7 pupils had a fantastic time welcoming Drumchapel United Football Club to our school! The coaches delivered an engaging football session, giving pupils the opportunity to get active, develop their football skills and learn through a range of fun activities.

The session encouraged teamwork, communication and sportsmanship, while allowing everyone to challenge themselves, build confidence and enjoy being part of a team. It was wonderful to see our P7 pupils getting involved, supporting one another and showing such enthusiasm throughout the session! 🙌

A huge thank you to Drumchapel United for taking the time to visit us and provide such a valuable experience for our pupils. We really appreciate the opportunity to learn from the coaches and enjoy a fun-filled session! 👏

Well done, P7! Keep up the great work! 🌟⚽

P6 have been using Elkonin boxes to support their spelling! By breaking words down into individual sounds, pupils have been strengthening their phonological awareness and developing greater confidence in their spelling.

Fantastic effort, P6! Keep up the great work! 🌟👏

We were delighted to welcome the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to our school to speak to our P6 and P7 pupils about the importance of bonfire safety.

The children learned valuable advice about staying safe around bonfires and fireworks, as well as the importance of making sensible choices and looking out for others during the Bonfire Night celebrations.

A huge thank you to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for taking the time to visit us and share such important safety messages with our pupils. Your visit helped us understand how we can all play our part in keeping our community safe! 👏
