As you all know, we usually gather in the playground at 1pm on the last day of school to mark the closing of one school year by having the youngest and oldest pupil to ring the bell. Due to the current situation, this will not be possible but we would still like to mark this occasion.

We would love if you and your family could go into your garden or driveway and ring a bell, bang pots and pans, play an instrument, basically make some noise to show your school spirit! If you could record this and send it to  bishoptonenquiries@renfrewshire.gov.uk we will collate the videos and upload them to our YouTube channel during the holidays.

We look forward to hearing the distant sounds of that Bishy school spirit at 1pm on Friday 26th June!

We will continue to offer a critical childcare service for the children of single parents who are key workers or for children with two parents if they are both key workers. We are also supporting children and young people from vulnerable families. 

We have already contacted key workers and families who are currently using our service. If you think you meet the criteria for this support, you can find out more and how to apply on the council’s website.

Well, after lots of practising and filming from the pupils and some tough decision making from Mrs McNaught, Mrs Davidson, Mrs McLean, Mr McAvoy and myself, the time has come for the reveal of Bishy’s Got Talent 2020.

The hyperlink to the video will be published in your class Teams channel tomorrow afternoon. So get ready for a fun-filled video showing off talent that will blow your socks off!

If you sent an audition video to me, you will need to wait to see the video to see if you got through! Fingers crossed and well done!

Thank you,

Miss McDowall

We have so many talented writers in our school so why not write a story, poem, prose, article or anything you want about any British wildlife creature you fancy?  You could research your house bird (eagle, falcon, hawk or osprey) and let it inspire you! P4 pupils, you have been researching and learning about mini-beasts so use this knowledge to show off your writing skills. Or use one of the many topic tasks you have already written. Good luck!

In response to reducing risk in relations to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we will have to cancel the World of Work week (Monday 30th March to Thursday 2nd April).

Thank you so much to the parents who volunteered to come in to school to talk about their jobs and skills. We will hopefully get a chance to reschedule in the future.

Kind regards,

Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher
