Massively proud of our school netball team who attended the North Lanarkshire Netball Finals for the first time ever today! Our hard work has paid off! They didn’t win but they did incredibly well and were a credit to the school. A special mention must go to our captain, Zara, who was awarded ‘player of the team’ and also Callum, who played on bravely even with a sore knee!Thank you
Aitkenhead Primary is proud to announce that our P7 pupil Alesha won a competition to rename the Active Schools volunteers. Alesha’s idea to call the volunteers the ‘Activators’ was chosen from a high volume of entries and the new re-brand will appear on all promotional material. Here is Alesha being awarded her certificate and prize by our Active Schools Coordinator.
To celebrate World Book Day P7 enjoyed paired reading with either their P1 buddy or a P2 pupil. Well done P7! The younger pupils really enjoyed this!
Scott and Gemma attending the Glasgow Music Festival on Friday 16th March. They played the Young Virtuoso on their trumpets. It was a nerve-racking experience playing in front of an audience full of people in St Stephen’s church. However the nerves didn’t effect their playing as Scott came in first place and Gemma came third. Well done to them both. We are super proud of them and their achievements!!
Here are Primary 5 enjoying their Technology Challenge at last week’s Parent Open Morning. They worked in their cooperative learning groups to assemble and trial a water wheel, a bit like the one used at New Lanark! All of the water wheels were operational by the end of the session!
Congratulations to our netball team who found out that they had finished 2nd in the Bellshill Netball League on Friday! They played brilliantly and worked extremely well as a team! They now progress to the North Lanarkshire finals in May. Further practices will be scheduled for next term.
Here are some photos of children in Primary 1, 2, 3 and 4 enjoying a STEM magic show today. The show engaged children in learning about science, technology, engineering and maths through some very clever magic tricks. Children may wish to try out some of their new tricks on adults at home, so beware!
Well done to our winning group from Aitkenhead Primary School. They invented a very interesting cartoon planet showing different cartoon characters. Excellent drawing skills boys and congratulations!
P7 Pupils were set a challenge by the Science and Maths departments of Uddingston Grammar School. They had to work in groups to design and create their own planet. They worked very hard for many hours. Please take a look at their pictures. Special thanks to Mrs McGown and Mrs Maitland for their assistance during this topic.
Having a movie party at Aitkenhead. The boys and girls are having lots of fun!!
