This week, Primary 4 went on a field trip to Kilsyth Main Street. We measured the length of Main Street (a whopping 220m!) and recorded the names of all the shops on both sides of the street. We also stopped to look around Market Street, the Cenotaph, the Band Stand and the Miner’s Monument. Primary 4 managed to have a great time despite the weather and learned lots of new information about the local area which we will use to create our class map of Kilsyth.
The Global Citizenship Committee had their first meeting on Thursday 14th September. We had everyone from Nursery to Primary 7. Our first meeting was very productive. We discussed the subject of Litter and the importance of starting a new campaign to encourage all pupils, staff and parents of Balmalloch to ensure we are putting all litter in the bin. A new campaign ” We are keen to stay green,” will be launched on Monday the 2nd of October. Also that week we will be raising awareness of Global Citizenship and having a Global Citizenship week in school. All classes and the nursery will be involved in this. It will include investigating a variety of topics such as Sustainability, Energy and Health and well being. Watch this space for more updates.

We have had a busy couple of days in P4/5. In Literacy we created visualisations of the character Mrs Garrow from our class novel ‘The Invisible Dog.’ We have started learning about 24 hour time. It was tricky to begin with but we are beginning to get the hang of it. In PE we were using a variety of problem solving strategies, it was so much fun!! We now feel settled in our class and have decided that our class motto is; Together everyone achieves more!!! TEAM P4/5

Today Primary 4/5 have been discussing the importance of Friendship. Many of us have enjoyed making new friends and working with old friends. We decided that a good friend is someone who always listens, is helpful, kind, caring and reliable. Primary 4 have been made very welcome by Primary 5 and we know that they will be good friends to us this year.
