WOW!!!Congratulations to the very talented pupils who worked hard to create these wonderful 3D replicas of well known Coatbridge landmarks. They really are outstanding. The boys and girls gave wonderful talks to their class about the landmark they had chosen to build. They are so detailed and accurate you almost feel like you are looking at the real thing!!! Super work boys and girls and well done mums and dads because we are sure you might have been required to give a helping hand.
The wonderful boys and girls of Room 7 have been extremely busy both in class and at home as they worked upon their project about Coatbridge.

Well done boys and girls you really have excelled. Now we have to find somewhere to display this wonderful work so that the school community can see your masterpieces!!

The school community was astounded to see so many of our parents and grandparents at our Pr.1 – 3 Halloween Parade. Unfortunately I don’t have possession of the pictures of the day at this time. As soon as I have them we will post a picture gallery of the event. Many thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets or made a donation to school funds. Your contribution enabled us to add over £400 to school funds which will benefit all children. Many thanks for your great generosity.
The boys and girls of the school enjoyed a fantastic night at our Halloween disco. Many thanks to our wonderful PTA for all their great work behind the scenes to get everything organised for the night. The children , staff and school community really appreciate the great support of our PTA. Here is our picture gallery of the night.
In Room 6, the Primary 3/2 children were very lucky to receive a visit from a parent expert who gave a wonderful presentation to the pupils on Town Planning as part of their class IDL theme on “My Town Coatbridge”. A big thank you to Mr Ward for sharing his knowledge and expertise! This has made learning much more enjoyable and meaningful for the pupils. Room 6 will be visiting Summerlee Heritage Centre in November for a workshop based around this theme alongside pupils from Room 7, 8 and 9. This will be a great opportunity to get outdoors into our local area and put learning into a real-life context.
