Pr. 3 visit Kelvingrove Museum
Both Mrs.Shields and Mr.O’Dowd reported that their visit to the museum was a great success with the children desperate to show off how much they had learned from their recent Interdisciplinary Project on the Egyptians. The feedback from the pupils about the workshop was very positive and also highlighted how enjoyable and informative it was for everyone. Congratulations to everyone from Pr. 3 for being such great ambassadors of the school.
Celebrating Success
At our assembly this morning for Pr. 5 – 7 there was a focus on the success of our Sportshall Athletes who came in first place for the Coatbridge finals. We have now successfully qualified for the North Lanarkshire finals which are due to be held in Ravenscraig where we will be competing with the other finalists from across the authority. We also celebrated the success of one of our violinist who recently passed her music grading. We were also joined by a pupil who dedicates each Friday to attending practices with the North Lanarkshire Preparatory Band. She will soon perform in The Royal Concert Hall. Well done boys and girls and congratulations t all pupils who received a certificate in recognition of their efforts.
Pr. 3 Board Games
Pr. 3 pupils were involved in designing and making their own board games as part of their personal projects. Their teachers were most impressed and delighted by the inventiveness of the final products.
