North Lanarkshire Council Feedback

On 20th November, Ravenswood Primary School welcomed a team of Curriculum Improvement Officers from North Lanarkshire Council and a Head Teacher from a local primary establishment.

The team observed lessons across all primary stages and held professional discussions with the Senior Management Team, Class Teachers and Support Staff.

We are delighted with the feedback and look forward to engaging further with the team to provide great quality teaching and learning.

Have a look at the link below to read the official feedback from North Lanarkshire Council.

Design a Programme Winner!

Of course we had to choose a winner to publish our programme. We chose the amazing artwork by a P7 artist, Sophie Allan!  Thank you Sophie for designing an amazing programme that captures the story beautifully.

 

Comp winner

We are very proud of you Sophie, great job!  Here’s hoping you all get to have your own copy when you attend our nativity on Wednesday 9th December at 1.30pm or Thursday 10th December at 7pm.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Nativity Competition

This week our wonderful infant department will be performing ‘Straw and Order’. Everyone has been working so hard and can’t wait to show off their expressive arts skills.

Not only have our infant children been getting in to the festive spirit, the upper school assisted the production by entering the ‘Design a programme cover’ competition. The entries were amazing and it was very difficult to choose a winner. Have a look at the runners up below!

Halloween fun!

Ravenswood Primary School sure know how to celebrate! The Halloween disco was a HUGE success. The costumes were amazing and the dancing sublime. Thank you to all of the pupils, staff and PCA who made it such a success.

Perfect Planters

A group of P6 children braved the elements today to improve our school grounds. Along with Carrick and Miss Hawthorn, 8 boys and girls earned their place as today’s planting team. Unfortunately the weather decided to give us a hand to water the plants. We made a good start taking wheelbarrow loads of soil and compost to the school playground to fill our new, enormous planters. Carrick brought a number of different plants and trees that will really help to add colour and life to our school grounds. Thank you Carrick!

Don’t let the weather dampen your spirits P6, we will be out again soon to finish off the job!

Italian Style

Our school cookery room was full of life today and P6 enjoyed learning how to be creative Italian style. We learned the ‘bridge’ and ‘claw’ cutting technique as we chopped peppers, courgettes, onions and feta cheese. Many learners had never tasted couscous or worked with fresh herbs such as basil before. It was great to see everyone work cooperatively to create such a delicious meal. I hope the takeaway treats for learners to use at home were used and enjoyed by all.
