Using the tried and tested e-Sgoil platform, a timetabled set of classes will start 27 April, and gradually increase over the weeks ahead. The lessons will be provided by Keep Scotland Beautiful, SCILT, the National Languages Centre, and e-Sgoil.
There will be live interactive teaching for learners. All of the lessons have been adapted over the last few weeks for a learning at home basis, some are existing and well known areas of the curriculum, and others are launching for the first time.

Sacrament of Confirmation
Our school community of faith and learning gathered on Tuesday night to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation for Primary 6 and 7 pupils. We had a lovely evening with Bishop Toal, Father Kane and Deacon David.
Congratulations boys and girls we hope the Holy Spirit touches your lives and that you are truly blessed.
British Science Week
This week in P7 we have been learning about Electrical circuits. We got to play with materials to create our own circuits and worked out how to install a switch or make the bulb shine brighter.
We also identified conductors and insulators through manipulating different materials. We can’t wait to try new experiments next week.
Book Fair
It’s been great to have the Book Fair in school this week. Primary 7 enjoyed looking through the new books and placing orders for some new reading material.
P5-7 Assembly Award Winners
Congratulations to those pupils who received an award at this weeks assembly.
St Patrick’s Festival Cup
Congratulations to our Gaelic Team who retained the St Patrick’s Festival cup this morning for the third year in a row. Everyone should be proud of their effort and team spirit. Huge thanks to family and friends for joining us this morning. We hope we made you proud!
Confirmation Admin
We have been asked to confirm to the parish certain administrative information before P6 and 7 pupils are confirmed, most of which we are able to do by speaking to the children. One query we have is the parish of baptism so would ask that P6 and 7 pupils know this information so that they can tell their teacher next week.
Thank you for your continued support whilst we journey towards this sacrament.
P4-7 Disco
Huge thanks to our fabulous PTA for putting another great disco this evening. Boys and girls you looked fabulous and looked like you had a great time.
Primary 7 Yearbook
Work is underway to compile a yearbook for the Primary 7 classes. Pupils will be issued with a letter on Monday that asks they bring in 3 photographs ideally group shots that include a few other P7 pupils, one from early years/starting school and some that provide some light entertainment. We will include photographs from sporting events we already hold and of course Kilbowie.
You will appreciate this is a very time consuming task and in this regard your support would be very much appreciated, therefore early submission of photographs would help. Original photographs will be returned.
In order to proceed with the preparation of the yearbook it will be assumed you give consent for your child’s photographs to be included unless you state otherwise in writing.
Thank you in advance for your support.
