1000 Views!

After less than two weeks, our new-look website has reached 1000 views!

We are delighted to be keeping you up to date with the important goings on here at Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery Class.

Mr Innes is currently working with the Pupil Council on ways to improve our website. We are hoping to bring you video and audio clips to go with our news stories in the near future! Thanks for your support!

A Fine Day for a Stroll

On Monday afternoon, P3 hiked to Brownsburn Local Nature Reserve as part of their ‘Into The Wild’ topic.  Although the children found that the park is not yet showing any signs of Spring, it was an absolutely glorious day to get some extra exercise, with the pupils pleased to take their weekly walking total well above the 2 mile mark.

The class are already looking forward to returning next week, when they will be looking closely to see if anything has changed as our weather slowly begins to warm up and the plant life gets a few extra precious hours of sunlight.

Pupil Voice

We are always looking for opportunities to involve our pupils in their school life.  At assembly today, our children organised themselves into their ‘Consultation Groups’ and were asked to come up with some potential names for our quail hatchlings!

Each time one of our chicks is born, we’ll pull one of the names from a hat, before officially naming the little quail.

SmartPhone Friendly

How are you enjoying browsing our brand new website?

If you’re using your SmartPhone, you’ll notice that our new site is much more ‘SmartPhone friendly.’ Hopefully you’ll find finding out about what’s going on here at Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery Class is now easier than ever!

Oh I would walk 500 miles…

As you will have read in our Newsletter, our pupils are getting out and about twice a week to walk a mile together.

Studies have shown that this regular exercise can have an extremely positive impact on attention in class, with our teachers already reporting an improvement!  Keep it up boys and girls, you’re doing really well!

 

‘Educational Egg’

On Tuesday 16th of February, we were visited by Jimmy from ‘Educational Egg.’  Jimmy presented to our Captains Club pupils and shared his expertise about all things feathered!

The pupils were also introduced to Bebe, a young cockatiel who was a big hit!

Finally, we were given an incubator with 24 quail eggs, which we will be looking after over the coming weeks.  Our chicks are due to hatch at the end of the month, and all of our pupils are keen to see what, or who, will peck their way out!  The children will then be given the chance to watch the young birds grow during the early stages of their lives.

Curriculum Development Evening

On the 18th of February, we held a Curriculum Development Evening, which was very well attended by our parents.  Mrs McCulloch and the class teachers were sharing the strategies that we use at Rochsolloch Primary School for introducing and teaching various Numeracy concepts.

Luckily, some of our pupils were on hand to help the mums and dads with the really tricky stuff!

We would like to thank all of the parents, and pupil helpers who attended and helped to make this event so worthwhile!
