Dream Big, Work Hard, Shine Bright!
Wow what a busy meeting! We listened to bird calls, made a bird collage and also made bird feeders to put in our garden. With the cold weather we knew we had to take care of our feathered friends. We even found our first signs of Spring too … some snowdrops.
Every child in Glenboig PS received a water bottle to use in school today. They were purchased after Heath Week fundraising. Drinking water helps us stay healthy and concentrate in school.
To inspire our younger readers we now have a P3 & P4 Reading Afterschool Club. This week – we looked at different characters and agreed that there is usually a goodie and a baddie in a super story!
Our featured author this week was Roger Hargreaves who wrote all the Mr Men & Little Miss books – an amazing range of diverse characters. Our tasks this week – to paint or draw a character that we thought we were like and to build them a home with lego. We also had the chance to choose a Mr Men book and have a quiet read.
Here we are busy at our activities.
We built a home for our characters using lego!
Look at our creative pupil’s work with their fabulous characters – different shapes, sizes and colours! Brilliant!
As always our children made us so proud – their singing, dancing and acting was brilliant! Well done everyone! 🙂
A big thank you to Toni & Scott who delivered financial education lessons to all pupils throughout the school!
Thank you to our parents who came to our Read, Write, Count classroom visit. Primary 1 read the book the called “The Bear in the Chair.”
The children then chose an purposeful play area to follow up their learning.
Painting table – I can paint a bear with flair on his chair!
Playdough – I can make a bear on a chair.
Construction – I can make a chair for the bear.
Finger gym – I can use scissors to cut out and stick a bear.
Well done everyone!
Debbie from the Bank of Scotland visited all our classes today to discuss how we save money! Each class enjoyed all the activities and P1 loved our Piggy Banks and calculators …. THANK YOU! 🙂
All of our classes thoroughly enjoyed a visit from Mrs Keith – who is amazing at Maths. She worked with each class talking about mental maths strategies – counting on and counting back, bridging and adjusting, partitioning, rounding to nearest 10,100 or 1,000, and double or halving. Mrs Keith was super impressed with the mental maths skills of our pupils … well done!
Well done to our amazing Gardening Committee who got stuck in with a huge tidy up of our ECO garden. 
Our poor greenhouse has been battered by the wind. Our wonderful team cleared out all the broken plastic bottles – and our Spring project will be to get it back into shape! We will be looking for volunteers as well as some new bottles to rebuild it!
Our beds are now cleared out – reading for some planting early next year.
Our harvest … some potatoes and pears. We hope to grow some vegetables for the our Food Committee to make some healthy snacks.
Look at how hard everyone worked – we helped Jannie Jim put it all into the recycling bins.
An amazing turnout to our fayre tonight! Thank you so much to our stall holders and families for supporting this event. Lots of funds raised to buy more school resources! Thank you!
Santa was a huge hit … I am sure the wait was worth it!
Lots of different stalls to help with your Christmas shopping!
Our pupils made some brilliant Christmas gifts too!
A truly magical show from our children today with singing, dancing and even a spooky poem. Well done to OLSJ’s too!
A huge thank you to our wonderful Parent Council for organising our Sponsored Strike today! The children had a “ball” as well as raising some funds for school resources.
Well done to Primary 7 for leading our Harvest Assembly! The boys and girls shared with us lots of interesting information as well as teaching us some super songs! We all really enjoyed the Harvest Samba!
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to the Assembly and also for the fantastic donations for the Lodging House Mission.
Today the JRSOs went to the Pivot Centre at Moodiesburn. They got to meet the JRSO staff and mascots. When they went in they started with a word search and crossword then a PowerPoint about what the JRSO will do throughout the year . There was a magician who did tricks about road safety who was so funny . There was a Gist truck with two workers who told them how hard it is to see out the front of the truck . Last of all they started a noticeboard poster about being bright to be seen. Then they reported back to their class on their good day.
