Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery ClassP5 and P5/6 had an awesome time at the Glasgow Science Centre today!
P5 have been learning about How the World Works, while P5/6 have been learning about Space.
The children visited all three floors of the Science Mall for some hands-on fun, pictured below! The children also went to the Planetarium for an excellent Space presentation – there was so much learning happening!
Let’s not forget that the day was topped off by a trip to the Gift Shop – the most important aspect of any school trip!
P6/7 enjoyed their trip to Burns Cottage and Robert Burns Birthplace Museum this week. They have been celebrating the Bard of Ayrshire by learning ‘The Selkirk Grace’ and ‘To a Haggis’. A particular favourite was haggis tasting and learning about all the delicilous ingredients.
Our pupils had a wonderful time at last night’s Valentine’s Disco, organised by our fantastic Parent Council!
Check out the mega-gallery of these little heart-breakers!
Friday 25th January saw a bridge bonanza day here at Rochsolloch. Working with ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) from BAM Nutall Scotland, pupils took part in ‘Bridges to Schools’ hands-on activity giving them the chance to build a 13m long cable stayed bridge. Having assembled the bridge they then walked across it, learning about bridges, teamwork and civil engineering as they went. Pupils also engaged in using CAD software to design a bridge, worked collaboratively to build K-Nex bridges and investigated traditional methods when designing their own bridge.
It may have been icy outside but P6 and P7 pupils at Rochsolloch were making sure it was safety first!
P2 and P2/3 have been working hard in their purposeful play linked to their IDL topic “Our Amazing Universe.” They have been repairing the space station, designing aliens, writing space logs, investigating the Hubble Telescope and making space goo!
Our Scottish Assembly starts at 9.15am on Wednesday. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
The cafeteria menu for this term is now available for download from the File Store!
Please note that due to the inclement weather forecast, North Lanarkshire Council are closing schools and nurseries today from 12.00pm. Please arrange for pupils to be collected from the school office.
Have a safe weekend!

Over the past couple of months, our P1-P3 children and teachers have been working round the clock to prepare a wonderful Christmas show – Humph the Camel! Having performed a dress-rehearsal for school pupils yesterday, our little stars took to the stage to put on a fantastic showcase of acting, singing and dancing for parents and friends this morning.
The show was a huge success and our children and staff are looking forward to taking to the stage again at 6.30pm tonight for their evening performance! The morning performance was wonderful, and we are so proud of our Rochsolloch family today.
Our show has been filmed this year, and DVDs can be purchased from the school, at a cost of £5. DVDs will be ready in early January.
Our resident photographer, Mrs Cochrane, has taken these terrific snaps!
This week, our P7 pupils have been having an amazing time at Kilbowie Outdoor Centre in Oban.
Undeterred by the winter weather, the children have been taking part in canoeing, gorge walking, coasteering, forest orienteering, rock climbing, safari, and skiing!
Visiting Kilbowie is always an incredible experience, with many of our pupils taking a huge step forward in their ability to take responsibility for their personal organisation and safety over the course of the week.
Take a look at the mega-gallery below for a snapshot of the fun and learning!

We got together with the children from All Saints as a campus family today to enjoy a spot of Christmas lunch!
The pupils had the choice of traditional turkey or steak pie, with some delicious sprouts, carrots, potato croquettes and sausages! The children followed that up with some equally delicious ice cream, chocolate cake or trifle!
There was a real party atmosphere in the room with beautifully decorated tables and Christmas music playing through the dinner hall!
We would like to say a huge thank you to our fabulous catering staff, P7 helpers and staff from both schools who helped to make this a memorable festive experience for our children!

Our P7 Inverlochy class have really been enjoying getting out into the fresh air for some cross-country running.
The pupils are gradually building up their stamina, week by week, and seeing just how long they can keep going for!
They are really excited about taking their learning outside of the school grounds and over to Brownsburn Park in the weeks to come!
Check out this gallery of photos taken by our pupils during today’s lesson:
In preparation for life and our Careers Event on 23rd November, P7 & P6/7 have been taking a deeper look at potential careers and career paths. They are developing their understanding of how skills that they learn across the curriculum are then transferred into the workplace. A key resource to support their skills/qualities and careers has been www.myworldofwork/ican .
We are very much looking forward to our Careers Day on the 23rd!
Our P5/6 class and Mr Flanigan have been working on something incredible over the past two months…creating their very own video games!
The children researched the history of video games, learning about different game styles as they did so. The class then split into games companies to code their very own games!
