P1-P3 were making bird feeders to encourage more birds into the school playground. They will be participating in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch in the next few weeks. 
Robert Burns
Our pupils were learning all about our beloved poet Robert Burns last week. They learned lots of interesting facts about Rabbie, his life and what inspired him to write. They participated in a fun quiz!
The competition was very close. Chapelgreen Primary certainly knew lots about Rabbie Burns! Well Done to our winners! 🙌🏆
Eco-Litter Picking
Our pupils in Chapelgreen are working hard on their Eco Action Plan. Our Litter Pickers were out in full force last week keeping our playground litter free and tidy. Well done!!
Riverside Museum Trip
P1-3 had a great time today visiting the Riverside Museum. They had a jam packed day with touring the tall ship first thing, taking a part in a workshop, touring the museum and of course a visit to the shop!
Celebrating Success!
Congratulations to those who were awarded with Successful Learner, Effective Contributor and Responsible Citizen recognition this term. I hope you have your certificates proudly displayed.
Harvest Art
We were delighted to welcome our parents and carers into our classrooms today to showcase the children’s Harvest artwork. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing the skills they have been learning in art with our parents and carers and it was lovely to see our parents and carers having a go at some of the techniques too! Thank you to all those who came to support this event.
Thank you also to those who contributed to our Harvest collection for the food bank and those who bought a raffle ticket for the Harvest hamper to raise funds for our school. Your continued support is very much appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Litter In Our Community!
The Sustainability Committee informed the assembly today about the amount and types of litter that enter our playground from our community. They decided to create posters that we can display in our shop and community hall to encourage members of the community to bin their litter, not to drop it. The children worked hard using programmes on their iPads to create posters. Here are the children busy at work and some of our first drafts.
Herbs Galore!
Thank you to Miss Donald for organising a fun health focus day. Everyone enjoyed the activities and the smell of the herbs must have reached to the centre of Kilsyth!

Some pasta with basil and pesto created by Room 2.
Health Focus Day
For our health focus day this term we have been learning about herbs. The children had great fun smelling and trying the herbs and cooking Basil Pesto Pasta. They even had the chance to taste the P4-7’s delicious Carrot and Coriander soup.
Transport Topic
This week our school was visited by a driver and his truck from Gist who deliver for M&S. The children were so excited for the visit and had a great time learning about road safety, how food is delivered to the stores and the job of a truck driver.
