NLC Reading Quiz

Today some of our senior pupils went to Chryston Cultural Library to take part in this year’s North Lanarkshire Reading Quiz.  Our Primary 6 and 7 representatives did a fantastic job representing our school, competing against other schools from the local area. They have all worked very hard to prepare for today. Congratulations Team Gartcosh!

World Book Day

To celebrate this and to encourage healthy reading habits we have a number of initiatives taking place in school this week, weather permitting!

  • All pupils are being encouraged to bring their favourite book or books to school for a paired, buddy reading time.
  • A costume parade to showcase our book characters.
  • Primary 2, Fairytale Afternoon Tea and Showcase of class learning.
  • “Where’s Wally” scavenger word hunt.
  • Lot’s more book related activities ongoing in classes.

Euro Quiz Champs!

Six of our Primary 6 pupils are feeling very proud of themselves  after achieving third position (out of over twenty five schools) in the recent North Lanarkshire Euro Quiz!  The pupils  have spent a lot of time researching Europe over the past few months so it was great to see their hard work pay off. Well done! A huge congratulations to our Euro Quiz representatives
