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!

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 our Nursery class put on two amazing performances of A Wriggly Nativity, where they told the traditional Christmas story in a way that only the Nursery class could!
Every single one of our little stars had their important part to play in celebrating the arrival of the new baby, and the feedback given by our parents, grandparents and guests was wonderful.
Thank you so much to everyone who attended and supported our children, to our fabulous Nursery staff team, and to our super older children who provided welcome music for our guests, as well as the narration for the show itself.
You were incredible boys and girls, and we were all so proud of you!
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 six months, three budding young writers from Primary 7 have been working tirelessly to plan, write, edit and produce their very own books! The tenacious trio thought long and hard about what makes an exceptional book, and tried to re-create the feeling they get when they read for their very own audience.
This morning, to celebrate their hard work, the children hosted their very own book launch in our Rainbow Room. They invited along their friends and family and put on a truly inspirational display. Each of our young authors spoke about the motivation and inspiration behind their book, as well as what they learned from writing their texts, before treating their captive audience to a reading from their favourite chapter.
Finally, the children signed first edition copies of their books for some of our lucky guests to take home. Some extra special audience members were also given souvenir bookmarks and posters to mark the occasion!
Mr Innes would like to congratulate our pupils on their incredible achievement. Special thanks also to our supportive and encouraging audience of parents and friends, and to Mrs McGowan in our school office for making such an excellent job of preparing our books.
Today, our P5 pupils were joined by their families as they presented a Display of Knowledge! Our children aimed to give their families a snapshot of the learning that has been taking place in the class over the past term!
Thank you so much to everyone who came along to support our children, and for the lovely feedback given to our pupils!
Last week our P7 class invited their parents and grandparents in to see a wonderful ‘Display of Knowledge’ all about their topic on the 1980s! Check out this mega-gallery to see the children in action!
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!
Last year, Miss Rangeley and P5/6 studied Africa. The pupils wanted to know more about African tribal culture so Miss Rangeley and Mrs McCulloch organised a surprise visit for this session…
All of the pupils from the school and nursery were treated to an absolutely amazing performance of singing and dancing this afternoon, courteset of the Osiligi Maasai Warriors, who had travelled all the way from Kenya!
The children learned about the Massai way of life, and about the meanings of the different, amazing songs they performed.
Check out our Twitter feed for a short video clip of the men from the tribe showing us how they used to hunt lions!
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our children. What an afternoon!
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 Wednesday morning, Mrs Polatajko and the children of Primary 1 Edinburgh hosted a wonderful family Teddy Bears’ Picnic!
The children sang beautifully, wrote about their bears and drew some excellent pictures. They also made some delicious jam sandwiches from instructions they had written themselves! Their guests then joined them in playing some parachute games, before they finished off their day listening to Mrs Polatajko reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!’
We’re not scared!!!
Great job P1E; great job Mrs Polatajko! Check out the gallery below to see the fun!
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!
Our pupils and guests had a real treat at school this morning, as P4/5 and Mrs Rodman presented an incredible assembly, all about Vikings!
During the assembly the pupils shared a huge amount of knowledge and displayed wonderful skills, including:
All while really looking the part in some amazing costumes!
We would like to say a huge congratulations to P4/5 and Mr Rodman – we think it was one of the best assemblies we have ever had at Rochsolloch!
Thank you so much to our audience, parents and guests who came along – for your lovely comments and for supporting the children with their terrific costumes and super homework projects.
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!
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!
