Together we learn, discover, grow and succeed.
Today we are having a concert for Mrs Robertson who retires from Chapelhall Primary today after working here for 26 years. We have singers, speakers and even dancers from pupils throughout the school and we wish Mrs Robertson all the best for the future and hope she comes to visit us.
Our P5 pupils did a fantastic job of telling us the Easter Story. They combined great acting and excellent singing to perform an amazing show. Everyone was very proud of their performance. Our musicians played well before the show with both violin and trumpet players giving confident performances. Our school choir performed at the end of our assembly and for the first time incorporated a ‘Flashmob’ into their performance.
Well now Livingstone have won two rounds, Bruce one and Owen one. The competition is heating up. Come on Wallace!
It’s that time of year again where pupils compete in our Easter Egg Hunt to collect points for their houses. This is the last chance to collect house points before term winners are announced so it is very competitive. So far Livingstone House are winning but will they keep their lead or will the other houses take over? Keep checking back for updates.
It is now only 6 weeks until we leave for our trip to York/Scarborough. We are all very excited and looking forward to it very much. We have just had our delivery of hats and bags with the school badge, which we will all be wearing. Watch this space for models soon! All medical forms are required as soon as possible please.
The children who are not going to York will also be taking part in some exciting times that week. Watch this space for more information later.
We had a fantastic day outdoors today planting our brand new willow classroom or ‘Wigloo’ as we will be calling it. Despite the snow, wind and rain, a brave group of pupils (and a few parents, teachers and office staff) were joined by two park rangers from Drumpelier Park to complete this project. All pupils worked very hard to create the classroom and a tunnel. We would like to say a big thank you to Colin and Dave from Drumpelier and also Mr Glover, Miss Kennedy, Mrs Baillie and Mrs Robertson for assisting with the building. Mrs Brown and Mr Murray also enjoyed working with pupils on this activity and it was great to see everyone enthusiastic about this new venture. Michael and Adam from St Aloysius Primary also came along to get involved and we hope that both schools will enjoy using this space for outdoor learning.
Primary 4 completed an experiement called Smart Dust. They had to set up a circuit to see if water would conduct electricity. After testing they decided to try adding salt to see if this would make a difference. All pupils worked very effectively together and had great fun.
We won a competition for a free Orchard in February. P6/7 pupils helped Mr Murray, Mrs Robertson and Mrs Baillie plant our trees in Honeywell Habitats. We have apple, pear and plum trees and are looking forward to growing some delicious fruit.
Pupils from the Food and Environment Pupil Group took part in a scavenger hunt to collect information on the effects Palm Oil Plantations has on biodiversity.
Chapelhall are taking part in the Grow your own Potatoes competition this year and some of our P1 pupils have already planted our seed potatoes. Keep watching the blog to see how fast they grow.
