We enjoyed our first Assembly today when Primary Seven pupils were introduced to their Primary One Buddies. Here are some photographs.
Each child was also presented with a pencil case with eraser, sharpener, ruler and two pencils as a result of Write Start and Cllr Mark Kerr determined that every child in Ward 1 started with the same resources, and so were equal. Thank you for this positive initiative.
A very big thank you to all the boys and girls who braved the wet weather to attend the football event for Kilsyth Civic Week. Our Chapelgreen/Banton team did us proud and represented both schools fantastically. Thank you to all those who came and supported the team. This was very much appreciated. Here are some pre-tournament training photos!
Congratulations Chapelgreen!

We would like to say thank you to Mrs Johnston for showing us around Anderson Church today. We had lots of fun looking round for the things we have been learning about in class. We spotted the font, the pulpit, the altar, the pews and some stained glass windows. Can you see any of these in our photographs?

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. 
Primary 4/5 created some amazing art work for the Kilsyth Co-op to display in their store during the ‘spooky’ season. Here are the three top pieces! 1st place – Rory, 2nd place, – Dania, 3rd place – Liam.
Our Nursery boys and girls enjoyed their visit from the Fire Brigade when they got to see the Fire Engine and use the hose. While children were learning about the Fire Service, parents and carers got some great safety advice from the Fire Office.
Keep yourself safe at all times, especially the festive season. Where possible, smoke outdoors. Do not leave lots of paper or cards near a cooker. Put your wrapping paper in the recycling bin away from the house. Check the lights for your Christmas Tree. These should not be more than 3 amps. The higher the amp is, determines how much electricity will flow through it.
Thank you very much for coming along and we hope you found the information to be helpful.
Please have a look at our photographs.
