Weeks 4 & 5 of our Summer Programme are complete, bringing another fantastic summer to an end! 🔬🍕💦

We finished the programme with plenty of fun activities, including a water fight and creating our own giant outdoor Snakes and Ladders game.

We also visited the Science Centre and Planetarium, where pupils explored interactive exhibits and learned more about space and science, before rounding off the summer with a trip to Pizza Hut.

Thank you to everyone who took part over the past five weeks. It has been a brilliant summer filled with creativity, teamwork, new experiences and lots of great memories!

Week 3 of our Summer Programme is complete! 🎥🚒

This week, we visited BBC Scotland to learn more about careers in broadcasting and media, and enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at how programmes are produced.

We also visited Polmadie Fire Station, where pupils learned about fire safety, explored the fire engines and gained an insight into the role of firefighters.

Another great week of learning and new experiences!

Summer Programme – Week 2

This week, we enjoyed a trip to Ayr Beach, taking in the views while treating ourselves to an ice cream and some chippy chips.

We also visited Kelvin Hall, where we learned about the history of animation by exploring Victorian inventions like stereoscopes, zoetropes and magic lantern projectors. We then got creative by making our own thaumatropes and zoetrope strips to see how moving images were created.

Another week filled with new experiences, creativity and lots of fun!

Go-Karting Trip a Roaring Success! 🏁

Thirteen of our pupils took to the fast lane as they took part in an exciting go-karting trip—and what a wheel-y great day it was!
From the moment the visors went down, the pupils were raring to go. After a quick safety briefing, they hit the track and showed impressive control, determination, and a real need for speed. Laps flew by as confidence grew, overtakes were attempted, and plenty of smiles crossed the finish line.
A big well done to all involved for putting the pedal to the metal and making it such a successful outing. 🏎️
