The football team showed great resilience today as they drew 0-0 with a very good Bargarran side. Both teams played some good football which will set us up nicely for our tournaments at the end of the month.

STEM Week 2018
STEM Week 2018 kicked off with the world of work visiting Bishopton Primary School.
We were joined by Ally, Alex Joannides, Lucy Joannides, Suzanne Lee, Jennifer Jensen, Iain McDade, Matthew Cochrane, Colin, Martin Banks, Eleanor Rathod and Etienne Rathod.
Their expertise taught us all about the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and they provided fantastic role models for our pupils. They were even able to answer some of our very tricky questions.
It certainly made us think about future careers in some jobs that may not even exist yet!
Keep an eye on the class blogs to see some pictures of today’s events and what we get up to throughout the rest of the week.
A massive thank you to all the companies and businesses who helped this afternoon to take place.

We are currently planning Bishopton Primary STEM week for the week beginning 1st October 2018. We are planning a variety of different classroom challenges and would love to hear from STEM practitioners.
If you could come in and tell us a little bit about your job and training or give us a hand with some of the challenges we would love for you to visit us.
Please get in touch with the school office or write a note in your child’s diary and I will get in touch.
Kind Regards,

The Scottish Engineering Leaders Award Public Exhibition
A massive congratulations to Ellie and Zak from P7 who have had their engineering solutions chosen to be displayed at the Barony Hall in Glasgow.
The pupils were asked to research engineering and interview a practicing engineer to inspire them in answering the question:
“If you were an Engineer, what would you do?”
They have been shortlisted after over 15 000 entries this year!
If you would like to attend the event on Friday 8th or Saturday 9th June, please click on the link below. I can’t wait to have a look at all their hard work on Saturday.

Sports Day 2018 finished with our Sports Assembly on Monday Morning. We looked at the qualities of elite athletes and how we could become the next one!
Congratulations to the HAWKS who won the Sports Day Trophy in what was a very tight event.
The Sport Committee would also like to thank all of our volunteers and helpers who made the day a great success!

RENERS Cup
A massive well done to Bishopton Blue and Bishopton Red who competed in the RENERS cup at Renfrew Juniors today. Both played some lovely football with Bishopton Blue reaching the Semi Finals. The football and sportsmanship on show by all schools was fantastic. Well done to everyone involved and a special thanks to those who came down to cheer the team on!
Football Team update
The football team finished their league campaign with a scoring draw against St John Bosco. It was a close game and the team were disappointed as the final whistle blew but they should all be very proud with their excellent league form, only losing once all year.
Well done to everyone who has represented the team this year and thank you to the supporters who have cheered us on.
We have the RENERS cup in the next few weeks as we look to finish the year on a high.

School Football Team Update
The football team were winners in a tightly contested game against St Anne’s this week. Mr Donaldson was very impressed with the teamwork and resilience displayed against a very good team. This has placed us in a fantastic position as we come to the last game of the campaign.

School Football Team Update
The football team played their rescheduled fixture against Bargarran Primary after the recent snow.
After a joint training session a few weeks ago, both teams played out an entertaining draw. It was great to see such positive attitudes during both the training session and the game from both sides. This was great to see especially with our upcoming transition events as we prepare for Secondary school.

Junior Soccer Sevens
Bishopton Blue and Bishopton Red attended the Junior Soccer Sevens Tournament at Ferguslie Sport Centre. We managed to have 18 boys and girls play in some exciting matches. It was a brilliant event with the pupils playing against a variety of teams. The teams were a mix of some Primary 4, 5 and 6’s which is great for the school football team for the years to come. It was also great to see supporters down cheering the teams on.
Over the last three weeks we have had over 40 pupils represent the school at Badminton, the Soccer Sevens and the Junior Soccer Sevens.
Go Team Bishopton!!!!
Soccer Sevens
The senior school teams competed in the Soccer Sevens last Friday and put in some impressive performances. Both Team Red and Team Blue were very unlucky not to qualify for the regionals despite some great football and winning most of their games.
