We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our pupils for dressing so brightly today to promote staying safe and seen in the darker months. The Scottish weather was on our side, for once, giving us a dull day to really show the importance of wearing bright or reflective clothing so that others can see you.
Well done to our Be Bright Winners from each class and to the brightest dressed members of staff too. It was incredibly tough selecting the winners this year! Thank you to the parent council for our pupils’ gifts and thank you to our JRSOs for putting so much time and effort into organising our Be Bright Day 🤩

On Tuesday this week, Uddingston Grammar (UGS) held the Newton Farm heats for the Numeracy Challenge transition event. Mrs Kennan (Head of Mathematics at UGS), along with some S6 helpers, led the challenge where each of the ten groups had to work as a team to answer seven clues. The first two teams to answer all the clues received a key that opened a treasure chest full of tasty treats to choose from! The winning teams will be attending the Numeracy Challenge final in December along with the finalists from each other UGS catchment school. More information on this event to come.
Here’s what some of our pupils had to say about the event:
“The teamwork part was very fun!” – Lennon
“I thought it was fun that we had to go in groups to discuss the answers and work out the challenges together.” – Jack
“It was fun getting to meet the S6 helpers and working with them.” – Emily
“It was really quite fun and I liked how the challenges were different. The decoding challenge was so much fun!” – Daisy

This week we celebrated the whole class gaining a Star Citizen award for their respectful and inclusive attitudes towards others needing support around the school 🤩
We also had a rare old time celebrating Hallowe’en with a catwalk in the style of the game ‘Dress to Impress’ – check out our poses! We also played the ‘Mummies’ game, seeing which group could create the most effective looking Mummy that didn’t unravel when they were given tasks to do.

In room 24 we have been learning how to read and plot coordinate points. We plotted coordinates that created the image of a helicopter, we solved a murder mystery by answering all the co-ordinates questions and then we got to complete a treasure hunt using grid references.
We also completed session 3 of our P7 sidekicks training this week with room 21 and Katy, our active schools coordinator. We had lots of fun learning how to support younger pupils when playing games using the N.E.D.S acronym:
N = Remember to tell them your names and also the name of your game
E = Explain the games and have your equipment you need
D = Demonstrate the games so they know how to play them
S = Start the game and support the children as they play it
Some of us will be supporting the P2s at their Monday after school club soon. We can’t wait!
