Two years ago, our school community came together to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts countless lives in different ways, and the Beatson continues to make an incredible difference through its compassionate care and unwavering support.

The Beatson Cancer Charity works alongside the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre – one of the leading cancer care facilities in the UK – providing vital funding for specialist staff, innovative research, and improved patient wellbeing. From emotional support and complementary therapies to cutting-edge treatments and clinical excellence, the charity ensures that patients and their families receive the best possible care at every stage of their journey.

We are proud to continue supporting the Beatson and the life-changing work they do for so many across Scotland.

This year, some of our amazing staff will be taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash 2025 with Beatson Cancer Charity on Sunday the 7th December at Glasgow Green. Please help us to raise our fundraising target by donating to our Just Giving fundraising page. Click on the link below to access –

Thank you in advance. 🧑‍🎄🎅🏻

Last week we told you that we were going to collect plastic bottles in order to raise money to help save an endangered animal. This week we can tell you that we have overwhelmingly decided that that animal is the LION. We learned that there are a number of reasons why the lion is becoming endangered. Some of these include the illegal fur trade and poaching, the loss of habitat as humans start taking over the land the lions live on. They are also being affected by climate change and disease. The regulation of the legal trade in wildlife is poor and therefore not everyone is abiding by the rules.
This week we have begun our collection of plastic bottles. We have also been  making posters to raise awareness of our campaign.

This week we have been having emotional check-ins to ensure that everyone is being supported with their feelings and emotions.

We have been designing our own superheroes with their own super powers and costumes. This will lead into some writing next week.

We have been learning how to write a report. We made a plan and then wrote a report about starfish. We found out some interesting things about starfish. Did you know that they catch their prey with their arms and then their stomach comes out of their mouth and digests the prey before retuning back through the mouth again? We didn’t but we do now! They also have hundreds of legs on each arm.

We have been learning about endangered animals and thinking of ways we can help them. We are going to collect single use water bottles and then take them to Lidl for recycling. The money we earn from that we are going to put towards sponsoring an endangered animal. We can let you know which one, next week. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
If you have any bottles at home, please do not throw them out. Send them in to help the animals!

We are also going to be picking litter from our playground. We ask you not to throw litter on the ground because the little animals might eat it. Then they would choke and maybe die.

We have been enjoying a book called Amazing Grace. This week we have been making predictions in a crystal ball and then  looking at the character’s traits from the book. We have been writing sentences and adding capital letters and full stops in the correct places. Some of us found this a bit challenging, We have also been looking at how to use a calendar and reading and writing dates in different ways. We are learning how to use Elkonin boxes for our spelling. We were learning to code like a pirate and writing directions to find objects on a map.
On Thursday we  watched a show called Alice in Wonderland. We enjoyed it very much.

Welcome to Primary 3b. We are looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you.
