Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery ClassLast night, our P6 and P7 pupils and staff hosted our first ever family Burns Supper!
The children wowed our guests with their excellent poetry recital, hilarious speeches, and terrific singing! Those in attendance were also treated to some stirring piping and a delicious haggis dinner,
It was a truly special event and everyone in attendance had a rare time!
Yesterday we hosted our annual Scottish Verse Speaking Assembly! Take a look at our gallery to see our pupils performing spoken poetry and Scottish singing!
* We have had a technical issue with some of our camera files – please accept our apologies if your little star isn’t pictured!
This morning, our P1 children put on a fantastic Nativity performance of The Sleepy Shepherd, supported by their friends in P2 and P3!
Our gym hall was packed full and our little stars did not disappoint, as they acted, sang and danced beautifully, following a month of hard work and rehearsals!
Following an excellent re-telling of the traditional Christmas story from the point of view of one of the shepherds, our P2 and P3 children took to the stage to perform a selection of Christmas crackers, before all of our P1-P3 children joined together for the finale!
We’d like to congratulate our wonderful pupils for being the stars of the show, and thank our magnificent staff team and parent helpers for putting on such a wonderful performance for everyone.
We can’t wait to see it again tonight!
Yesterday afternoon we had a triple celebration!
We celebrated the hard work our pupils have done all term, the retirement of Mrs McLean, and our P7 pupils moving on to Airdrie Academy, Braidhurst, and Hamilton! We’d like to wish everyone all the best for what’s to come! Enjoy the next chapter!
These photographs capture just a fraction of the energy and the emotion from an amazing assembly!
We’d also like to congratulate Mrs Polatajko, who will be leaving us next year to take up a new role as Principal Teacher at New Monkland Primary – they are very lucky to have her!
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!
We sent our Class of 2017 off in style this morning with a marvellous musical assembly!
Congratulations to all of the children and staff involved – it was one of our best shows ever! Our children really are starting to look at home on that stage!
Take a look at the gallery of some of our performances:
This morning, P5 presented our last class assembly of the year to pupils, parents and friends. The assembly was all about the World of Work, which has been a big focus for our P5 pupils this session. Preparing pupils for life in the real world is such an important part of the job we do at Rochsolloch Primary School!
Our P5 pupils spoke confidently about their studies in class, sharing a great deal of what they have learned about life as a working person, including the skills and qualities they might need to be successful in their chosen career.
P5, we especially enjoyed:
* Learning which jobs you’d like to do when you’re older
* Hearing your singing – which was terrific
* Watching your excellent dancing
* The Incy Wincy Spider drama song
As always, the children were a credit to their class teacher, their families, and our school. We would like to thank P5 and Mrs Munoz for putting on such an excellent performance, as well as our parents and families who helped to turn the class out in such fantastic costumes!
On Tuesday, the boys and girls from our nursery class joined our P1s and P6s for a shared playtime as part of our transition programme!
The children enjoyed getting the chance to play in the school playground, and many of them had the opportunity to meet their buddies for next year! They also got a chance to get to know a few of our Rochsolloch teachers, so there will be plenty of friendly faces to greet them in August!
Every Thursday, Miss Clerkson and Miss Allan run an after-school netball club for P5-P7 pupils. The children have really developed their confidence and skills over the course of the year and have enjoyed some success at recent netball competitions.
Today, their practice session took an unexpected twist, when it was gatecrashed by a group of very competitive teachers!
The boys and girls in the team had been keen to pit their skills against the teachers, and everybody had a great time at this afternoon’s session!
The scoreboard might show that the teachers were very successful, but there may have been (more than) a little bit of cheating happening!
One of our parents, Gail Wilson, The Manager of Scotland’s Womens Volleyball team, came in to speak to our Sports Education Managers and Assistant Managers. She talked about her job, all the things and people that she was responsible for, what she liked about her job, as well as the bits that she didn’t like about her job! She showed the children how her team would go through the steps of shaking hands and exchanging gifts with the other countries they played against. Some of the children got small badges that would be part of this exchange. All of the children also got Scottish Volleyball wristbands. She will also be sending in 2 volleyballs signed by all of the Scottish Volleyball team that we can either raffle or use as prizes in our Sports Education!
Thank you Mrs Wilson – you were a fantastic help!
P2 have been working very hard this term with Mrs Harper and Mrs Paterson, practising for their class assembly. The children looked absolutely terrific on stage dressed as a motley crew of Scottish pirates and mermaids! They shared a huge amount of class learning with their audience, and also displayed some of their fabulous topic work in the school dining hall.
P2, we especially enjoyed:
We would like to say a big well done to our pupils and teachers for working so hard to produce their performance for us today! Thank you also to our families and friends for joining us in such large numbers – you really help to make these events special!
This morning, P6/7 presented an excellent assembly, all about Japan!
The assembly started and ended with some perfectly spoken Japanese, and included a magnificent Japanese karaoke version of ‘Let It Go’! That’s definitely a Rochsolloch Primary School first!
The audience were transfixed on our performers as they shared with us some of the wonderful learning that has been taking place in the class in recent weeks. P6/7 have truly covered the whole curriculum through this topic, investigating everything from sport to natural disasters – even making some delicious sushi!
The way the children presented their complex spoken lines was absolutely tremendous. They did themselves proud!
Thank you so much to all of our parents, grandparents and friends who turned out to help make this a great experience for our children. Thank you also to Mr Flanigan and Miss Findlay to preparing the children so well for this wonderful showcase!
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!
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!
