We had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating World Book Day. It was lovely to see all the children dressed up in their colours and hearing the children sharing their favorite books. Our school book is nearly finished and will be posted for you all to enjoy next week. Here are some pictures of the day to keep you in suspense until then. Thank you for all your continued support, have a lovely weekend.
Miss Altman
We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day tomorrow at Bishopton Primary School. There are lots of activities planned throughout the day and we are looking forward to hearing about your reading. This year our theme for the day is based around the book – The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. If possible, your child has been asked to wear a specific colour. If your child does not want to dress up then this is ok too. If your child does not have anything in the specific colour then they can create something in class to wear, if they wish .
We hope everyone has a lovely day, sharing their reading and commemorating the day in class by partaking in activities.
Thank you again for your continued support.

This year instead of dressing up as a book character, we are basing our theme on the book – The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. I have added a link below of the book being read aloud. Your child will be able to partake in activities based on the book throughout the day and we will hopefully get a picture of all the pupils together to commemorate the day.
Each class has been given a colour/theme which they are asked to dress in for that day. If you do not have the specific colour, your child can make a sash or hat in school on the day.

During this weeks masterclass we looked at designs by Charles Rennie McIntosh and created our own designs. The boys and girls had lots of fun looking at the different techniques which Charles Rennie McIntosh used to create his artwork. 👩🎨👨🎨🎨
This year, Primary 6 will be taking part in the intergenerational quiz, which is a Renfrewshire wide quiz aimed at challenging negative stereotypes surrounding age. Primary 6 pupils will be teamed up with an older generation to learn about different categories such as music, film and tv, foreign languages and Scottish history in order to compete in a final quiz in November.
We are looking for willing grandparents of the children of this school to help us take part. You do not have to have a grandchild in Primary 6 and you would be required for six afternoon sessions.
If you are able to take part could you please send a letter in with your child to be given to Miss Grant or Miss Altman in Primary 6.
It is sure to be a great learning experience and lots of fun!
Thank You
Miss Grant & Miss Altman

Hi boys and girls, so sorry I forgot to hand out your poem at the end of the day! Try and practice as best as you can for Tuesday please. Sorry!
Glasgow
Here is the bird that did fly
spread its wings and flew
never ceasing, ever increasing as ambitious Glasgow grew.
Here is the tree that did grow
sprouting at a quick pace
branches reaching down below
creating our dear green place
Here is the bell that dud ring
with clear and positive chimes
always changing but never stopping
keeping up with modern times
Here is the fish that did swim
down the Clyde towards the sea
on an unexpected whim
happily feeling free
Our dear green place we have to nourish
So lets make Glasgow flourish!

There was a wee lassie who swallowed a Nessie. Its especially messy to swallow a Nessie!
There was a wee lassie who swallowed a loch. It was massive but, och, she swallowed a loch!
There was a wee lassie who swallowed a midgie, but why a midgie, so teeny and squidgy?
and could she have swallowed yet more? – no doubt! but the loch that sloshed through her washed everything…. OUT!

We had lots of fun taking part in the Eco drama with bag girl! We became recycling superheroes and learnt how to minimise our waste and reduce, reuse and recycle. Thanks bag girl for all your help! ♻️
