McLean Museum<\/h3>\n

January 2024<\/h4>\n

P3-P7 classes enjoyed developing their art skills and techniques at the McLean Museum as part of our \u2018Big Draw\u2019 initiative.<\/p>\n

\"P4<\/p>\n

P4a had a brilliant time at the McLean Museum for \u2018The Big Draw\u2019. They studied objects carefully and recorded shapes, details and tones that they could see. #ardgowanbigdraw<\/p>\n

P7 visited the McLean Museum to hear about Greenock during World War Two. Vincent told us about our town, showed us amazing photos and let us look at a variety of artefacts from that time.<\/p>\n

Our P1-4 classes were so excited to spend time on a brand new zero emissions bus, learning about the benefits of a greener future through greener travel solutions. Some classes even got a wee tour around the town!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our P5-7 pupils were delighted to welcome Neil to chat about facts and figures relating to running the bus service, the range of job opportunities available at McGill\u2019s and the skills and attributes associated with each job. Huge thanks to Neil and his team.<\/p>\n

Glenfield Care Home<\/strong>
\nWe are proud to have established close links with Glenfield Care Home. Our Primary 5s visit on a regular basis and have been developing relationships with both residents and staff. This year P5 and the residents have embarked on project looking at the history of Shipbuilding on the Clyde. Previous years have developed art work on display at Glenfield, introduced pupils\/residents to old and new games\u00a0and engaged in sing-a-longs.<\/p>\n

P5 had fun designing a range of suitable activities for our friends at Glenfield care home. We have enjoyed sharing these with them over the past couple of weeks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Country Dancing<\/strong>
\nWe are delighted to welcome Mrs Cunningham each year to offer extra-curricular dance experiences to P4-7 pupils. Mrs Cunningham works tirelessly with the boys and girls preparing them to perform at Inverclyde Music Festival<\/strong><\/em> and other events. In addition to competing at festivals, last year the dancers took their dancing shoes on tour!<\/p>\n
