The Banton Active Sports Team (one of our Pupil Voice Groups) recently arranged a visit from Clyde FC Community Foundation. Alan and Chris came along to deliver a football taster session for each class in the school. We got to practise our ball control skills before playing a game of Hungry Hippos. The Banton Bairns got to finish the session off with a proper football match which ended in an exciting 0-0 draw.

We’d like to say a massive THANK YOU to Alan and Chris and all of the Clyde FC Community Foundation for agreeing to visit us today. We loved having a go at football and hope we get the chance to play again soon ⚽️⚽️⚽️

As part of our ‘People Who Help Us’ topic, P1/2/3 had a visit from Police Scotland. DC Sinclair popped in to tell us about the important job she does and all the different ways that she helps people when she is at work. She answered all of our questions and showed us her cool uniform! At one point, Miss Meechan started misbehaving but thankfully DC Sinclair was on hand to sort her out 😉

We’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to DC Sinclair for giving up her time to come and talk to us. We learned lots and really enjoyed meeting you 😊😊😊

We have been learning about ‘People Who Help Us’ and have been lucky enough to have some amazing visitors.

Despite it being their busiest time of year, Cumbernauld Fire & Rescue were kind enough to drop by and speak to the Banton Bairns about what it’s like to be a fire fighter. We invited the whole school to join in and everyone had a great time learning about the important job our fire fighters do.

We’d like to say a big THANK YOU to Cumbernauld Fire & Rescue for coming to visit us. We had a great time; especially when we got a shot of the hose!
