P2 and The Millennium Bug
Primary 2 have began their topic of learning about the years 2000-2015.
Today in class, they discovered about The Millennium Bug!
This was when people thought that all the computers in the world would stop working or CRASH when the year changed to 2000 and they nicknamed it, “The Millennium Bug.”
We in Primary 2 know that it wasn’t a real bug like a spider or a beetle, but we imagined what we thought a Millennium Bug would look like and planned a drawing of it on our whiteboards!
Some of our creations had lots of arms to crash all the computers in the year 2000!

Primary 5’s Chryston Horticultural Show Art Work
Primary 5 have been busy this week making a creation for the Chryston Horticultural Show. We painted different flowers onto paper plates and used cupcake cases to add pot plants to our paintings. Some of us also decided to make different patterns around our flowers to frame them.
Congratualtions and good luck to Kayley, Abigail and Macie whose creations were chosen to be sent to the show to be part of the art competition.
Here is a picture of some of the paintings made by the other boys and girls in Primary 5.
