Bell Ringing at 1pm, Tuesday 28th June

As tomorrow is the last day of term we will be having our annual bell ringing in the basketball court at 1pm.

The youngest and oldest pupil have the honour of ringing the old school bell together to celebrate another successful year at Bishopton Primary School. The classes stand around the edge of the basketball court to watch on. Parents/carers are welcome to join us but we please ask that you stand back so the pupils can then find you once they have been dismissed.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Free school meals and clothing grant applications 2022/2023

Applications for free school meals and clothing grants for school session 2022/2023 are now open.

You should apply for free school meals and a clothing grant if you are on a low income and receive a qualifying benefit.

If your child is in primary six or seven, you should apply so your child can get a free school meal.

If your child is in primary one, two, three, four or five, your child will automatically receive a school meal. However, if you are on a low income, you should apply for free school meals because the council make payments into your bank account in lieu of school meals during school holidays (spring, summer, October and Christmas breaks). Please note these payments are only for people who meet the threshold of being on a low income. You can read more about the criteria on the MyAccount form.

You should also apply for a clothing grant no matter what primary class your child is in.

If you apply for a clothing grant by Friday 15 July and include all the required supporting documentation, then the council will be able to process your application and make a payment to you before the start of the new school term.

Visit MyAccount and log in to apply.

 

Bishy’s Got Talent

@RenEdHWB  We had our talent show on Friday 10th June. It was so lovely to have our whole school back together in the gym hall to showcase our talented pupils. We had singers, musicians, magicians, dancers, a martial artist and comedians. The audience were wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed the performers, particularly a surprise medley of TikTok famous dances from the teachers.

We are so proud of all of the talented acts and the quality audience who showed their Bishopton Best! We had many tears of joy and pride from the teachers who loved to see our pupils showing confidence in a variety of skills. Well done!

 

 

Talent Show – Well Done for the Auditions

Well done to everyone who auditioned for our Talent Show. We are so proud of all of you and were blown away with the variety of skills and interests you have. Unfortunately, we only have one afternoon to showcase this talent so not everyone can go through to the actual show next Friday 10th June.

If you are going to be taking part in the Talent Show, you were given a note today (see below).

If you have any music for your act, you must give a USB stick with the clean version to Miss McDowall (or email a weblink to: gw07mcdowallkaren2@glow.sch.uk) with your name, song name and exact time of when to stop the song by Tuesday 7th June. If you are unable to provide a USB/weblink, please see Miss McDowall at lunchtime to discuss the song and I will get a copy for you.

Please have your costume in class by Wednesday 8th June and keep practising your act!

Thank you,

Miss McDowall

Symmetry is Egg-citing!

Classroom Treasures: Easter Egg Symmetry @AttainRen

This week every pupil designed a symmetrical egg. They could either use an egg with one horizontal or one vertical line of symmetry or to challenge themselves by designing an egg with two lines of symmetry. The prize was a chocolate egg for the P1-3, P4-5 and P6-7 winner.

Success Criteria:

  • symmetrical
  • colourful
  • neat
  • creative

The three best designs were chosen from every class then these were put through to the final round. I was blown away by the standard of the designs because the pupils had been so careful to make them symmetrical AND the creativity was superb. So many unique ideas and patterns that demonstrated the many different individuals we have at our wonderful school.

Have a look at the three best designs from each class. These imaginative pupils won a sweet treat. Scroll to the bottom to see our final winners.
