P2/3 Sound Energy Assembly

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date March 29, 2017

This morning, the pupils from P2/3 and Mrs Hill presented an excellent assembly all about Sound Energy.

The children shared a wealth of knowledge about sound, including: how sound is created through vibrations, Morse Code, and how our ears help us with balance as well as hearing.

We also got to see how the children have developed their musical skills during their topic through excellent demonstrations of glockenspiel playing and drumming.

We really enjoyed the performance P2/3, and the feedback from your audience was first class!

Great job children; great job Mrs Hill!

Post date March 24, 2017

Today marked the end of an amazing week of fundraising at Rochsolloch Primary School!

Our school and nursery children came to school wearing red, to celebrate the wonderful work of the Comic Relief charity.

Grand totals for both Comic Relief and Down’s Syndrome Scotland will be announced next week, but early indications show that we have raised around £200 for Down’s Syndrome Scotland and over £400 for Comic Relief.

In addition to this money, we also managed to sell an unbelievable 300 red noses! Each nose sold provides Comic Relief with at least 60p towards the charity.

Don’t forget to tune in to Comic Relief TV tonight to find out about the wonderful worldwide projects that your generous donations will be supporting. Red noses are available at Sainsbury’s for anyone who wasn’t one of the ‘lucky few’ to pick one up this week!

We are so proud of your efforts children!!!

P1S Scottish Coffee Morning

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date March 15, 2017

We had a lovely start to the day today here at Rochsolloch Primary School as the children of P1S invited their families in to enjoy a Scottish themed coffee morning!

The children sang some lovely Scottish songs, danced and recited poetry for their adoring public, before joining their families for tea, coffee, juice and biscuits. We also learned about what makes our girls and boys proud to be Scottish.

The morning was rounded off with some prize bingo, with two lucky winners taking a delicious prize home this afternoon!

Thank you so much to all of the families who turned out to make this a memorable experience for the children, and for the lovely feedback which will be shared with the class.

Finally, a huge well done to Miss Clerkson, Mrs Fraser, Mrs Morisson, and all of our little Scottish stars in P1S!

As part of their ‘Travel and Transport’ class IDL topic, P2/3 headed into Glasgow yesterday to visit the Riverside Museum.

During the day, the children had the opportunity to become scientists, engineers, designers, and even inventors, as they looked and travel through the ages!

Mrs Hill received several compliments from members of the public about the outstanding behaviour of the boys and girls in the class – just what we like to hear P2/3!

Thank you to our parent helpers who helped ensure our children had a wonderful day out, enriching their learning in the process!

P3 Day and Night Assembly

Post author By Mr Innes
Post date March 1, 2017

This morning, P3 and Miss Black presented a wonderful assembly, all about Day and Night.

Earlier in the year, the pupils had read ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’, which is a classic tale about a young animal struggling with fear.

The pupils from P3 taught us about why there was no reason to be afraid of new things, and that many of our fears are unjustified. We also learned about why we have day and night, as well as some interesting facts about the sun and the moon. In addition to this, we saw some short drama exerts from the story and heard some wonderful singing – including some pop songs with a twist!

You presented so confidently and so clearly P3. It was a wonderful assembly and we really enjoyed it! Congratulations!
