Hi everyone
I hope you all had a lovely weekend enjoying the beautiful weather.
We have been very busy over the past couple of weeks. Firstly, we worked very hard in our engineering groups to complete the challenges that Fire the Baby Dragon set us as part of our Fairyland Topic. All children worked very hard together to build a vehicle to take Cinderella to the Ball. Matthew the engineer visited our school to judge the final testing of the vehicles and chose Isla R and Lucas as the overall winners. They represented Bishopton Primary at the Renfrewshire Showcase Event at Inchinnan and I am very pleased to say that they came 1st in their category. Both children will now go on to represent the school at the Regional Final in Glasgow on the 1st June. Congratulations!
We also had a wonderful time learning with Rookie Rockstars and both perfomance nights at Ingliston were a huge success.
Last week we started our new Habitats topic. We were very lucky to have a visit from the RSPB. We learned about different habitats and looked in the playground for creatures and animals using magnifying glasses. It was lots of fun! Over the next few weeks, we will learning about a variety of different habitats in more detail and the living things that live in each one.
Can I please remind everyone that our Read and Munch day is on a Thursday. Please bring a text of your choice and a healthy snack to school on this day.
We also plan to go outside as much as possible this term for a variety of different things. This includes using the field for P.E. If possible, can I ask that all children bring some outdoor trainers in as the grass can often be a little wet in the morning because of the dew on it. A reminder that our P.E. days are a Wednesday and Friday.
