The Senior Book Club really enjoyed reading the book ‘Once’ by Morris Gleitzman.
Book Club – Senior Pupils – 28-10-21.
Our pupils regularly participate in local sports’ festivals. We work in partnership with our Active Schools’ Co-ordinator, Mr Craig McIntyre and take full advantage of any sporting opportunities which are on offer. We are fortunate to have a full size football pitch, which we utilise regularly, to participate in outdoor sporting activities.
Under normal circumstances, throughout the school year our pupils are involved in a variety of stage productions e.g. Christmas Nativity, concerts, assemblies etc. All classes also participate in regular educational outings. Our Primary Seven leavers enjoy a special end of year event to mark the end of their primary education.
Pupils in Bargeddie Primary are also provided with opportunities to adopt responsibilities, for areas of development, within our school. Pupils are invited to join various committees and groups. e.g.
- Equality and Diversity Monitors
- Junior Sports’ Leaders
- Rights’ Respecting School Committee
- Eco Committee
Furthermore, senior pupils are regularly involved in monitoring and ‘buddying’ our younger pupils. They are also trained to deliver playground games at lunch breaks and intervals. We believe it is important for our pupils to become effective contributors and take an active part in the life and work of our school. Pupils across all stages evaluate the work of our school via questionnaires and by using criteria contained within a special document entitled, ‘How Good is our School?’ Pupil voice is a vital feature of our evaluations towards further improving our practices within our school, across a range of different areas.
Other Activities
Throughout the school year, parents are invited to join with us for various events. We encourage parental involvement and are keen to utilise the talents and expertise of our parents / carers. Any parent who has a particular skill or who has available time and is willing to help in school, is invited to contact the school office, to arrange to become a member of the ‘Protecting Vulnerable Groups’ scheme. After this check has been approved, then the parent / carer is permitted to work alongside staff in school, helping and assisting, where appropriate. Unfortunately, as a result of restrictions in place, due to the Covid pandemic, volunteers and visitors to our school are discouraged. However, hopefully moving forward, this issue will subside and we will be able to have parents and volunteers working closely in partnership with us once more.
