Balmalloch Primary School & Nursery Class
Believe in Yourself, Achieve Your Goals
Paul and Willie came back to visit P6 today. They had an ‘eelly’ good time before so decided they wanted to work with us again.
They brought a few friends with them once again. We are now caring for European Eels. These are on the IUCN critically endangered list so we have a big responsibility to look after them.
Well done to our 4 Knex masters who went to Kilsyth Academy for a recent Knex Challenge. You all did an excellent job. Special congratulations to the children below who were the runners up on the day.
A huge thank you to those who managed to our Rookie Rockstar concert. You really helped make the night a success. You are all effective contributors and confident individuals.
Well done to the Balmalloch Netball team. They took part in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth Netball Finals on Thursday 16th March. They all played well and were well deserved runners up. You were excellent ambassadors once again.
After 6 weeks of looking after our fish eggs they were finally ready to be released into the Garell Burn. Willie came with us and guided us through the best way to do it. Well done Primary 6, a very successful batch of fish.
Primary 6 have been enjoying their monthly visits to the library. They are picking some super books. We did something slightly different this time for World Book Day. We played Literacy Charades and worked together to create a story too.
Primary 6 had a visit from local MSP Jamie Hepburn on Friday 24th February. The children had some really good questions for him and enjoyed the visit.
When half the class were away to the North Lanarkshire Athletics competition, we decided to try a technology challenge. The children were given a range of different technology materials to work with. They had to try and build a replica of the Finnieston Crane. Here’s how they got on. Some had more success than others.
Well done to the Balmalloch Netball Team. You all played really well today and did Balmalloch proud.
The weekend was a success when we came back we only had to remove 1 egg and today we had our first hatched egg. Then another one followed this afternoon. Willie brought us another 100 eggs as they miscounted the eggs.
