Scottish Event 2017
The pupils and staff of Chapelgreen Primary gave a great performance today. They shared their learning about Scottish Literature, Songs and Poems. P1-3 demonstrated the skills they had been learning in music by using a variety of instruments to keep the beat to the Song “Coulter’s Candy”. P4/5 had a Burn’s Singing and Poetry Recital Competition and the winners received a huge round of applause. P6/7 had been writing poetry and learning about chants which they demonstrated most effectively. They also applied their learning to the context of “The Parable of the Sower” and used mime to share the message within this. Please take a look at some of the photographs from the presentation.
Our pupils wowed their audience by demonstrating their Scottish Dancing. P1-3 did a fantastic job of the “St Bernard’s Waltz”. While P4/5 showed us the ‘Toe and Heel’ step. Here is one of the chants from P6/7.
Citizenship Committee
Mrs McLeod was invited along to the Citizenship Committee to talk about citizenship in our school and local community. The committee will also be looking at Global Citizenship.
Do you know what makes a good citizen?
The Winning House Is……
BEECH!
Congratulations to the pupils of Beech House for earning the most points last term. They chose to watch a movie and thanks to the Captain James Colangelo and Vice Captain Declan Haggerty, a poster was created for members of Beech House to sign up for their favourite movie! How To Train Your Dragon 2 was the most popular.
The pupils of Chapelgreen know how to make themselves comfy and brought in their pyjamas to relax on the crash mat, followed by some popcorn and drinks. A great time was had by all.

Thank You Bam Nutall
We have a business partnership with Bam Nutall and recently those links were re-established. Bam Nutall celebrated being 150 years in business! They gave us snap rulers and waistcoat key rings which are both fluorescent and which will help everyone to be seen in the dark mornings or early nights. Thank you Bam Nutall. We look forward to continuing to build links with you.
