Active Kids vouchers can no longer be collected from Sainbury’s but if you have any in your purse, wallet, handbag or that messy kitchen drawer everyone has, please send them into school so we can order cooking and sports equipment.
Thank you,
Miss McDowall
We had so many photographs from the Rookie Rockstars concerts we have had to make another blog post. Here are a few more photographs from our fabulous concerts held on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Enjoy!
The Rookie Rockstars concerts at Ingliston Country Club on Tuesday and Wednesday night were amazing! The pupils turned up dressed to impress and ready to rock! They put on two great shows, showing off their singing and dancing skills as well as what the songs had taught them about anti-bullying and self-esteem.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the events happen: Rookie Rockstars for their guidance and songs, Ingliston Country Club for allowing us to host the events for free, the audience (families and friends) for your support, the many school staff who came to supervise and rock out, the school secretaries who acted as a professional box office for a few weeks, the janitorial staff who acted as roadies for a few days and most importantly the pupils who rocked their socks off!
If you would still like to purchase a CD to listen to for many years to come, please visit the School Office.
Many thanks,
Miss McDowall, Principal Teacher
Tonight, Ingliston Country Club will welcome the Eagles and Ospreys to perform the Rookie Rockstars concert in front of their family and friends. Here are a few reminders:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. We are really looking forward to seeing you at the performance tonight and cannot wait to see the pupils rocking out with Dave from Rookie Rockstars!
Many thanks,
Miss Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher
Congratulations to this week’s Stars of the Week.
As we ran out of time at the Quiz before the holidays, we all got together this morning to allow the poor Eagle House Captains to carry out the forfeit for losing the Quiz. They had to dip their faces into water then find an apple in a bowl of flour! Their faces say it all. Well done to Keeley and Corrie for being such good sports.
Your child will be issued with the letter below today:
Dear Parent/carer,
We are pleased to see that tickets for the Rookie Rockstars events are selling well and you are still able to buy your two tickets until Thursday 27th April. Please complete the form or write your child’s name, class, House, how many tickets you require (max. 2 at £5 each) and put it in an envelope with the exact money with your child’s name and class noted on the front. If you wish to request extra tickets, note this on the form.
Reminders for the performance:
As mentioned, all pupils must be accompanied by a nominated adult before and after the performance. Please indicate on the slip below who this will be and advise us of any changes, as soon as possible.
Many thanks,
Miss Karen McDowall
Principal Teacher
*Please return the completed tear-off slip A.S.A.P.
We had another fantastic session rocking out with Nick from Rookie Rockstars. We learned another two songs: Bullies Ain’t Big and Hey, Hey (I’m OK!). We practised the actions to the songs and played some air guitar along to the guitar solos. We even had some fun watching a rap battle between two pupils and two teachers! Please tell someone at home what you enjoyed most about today’s session.
If you want tickets but have lost the slip, please write your child’s name, class, House, which night you are coming and how many tickets you want. Remember you are guaranteed 2 tickets (£5 each) and can request extra which will be given out when all tickets have been sorted. Please put the exact money and request slip in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and class. Your child can hand it to their teacher in the morning or hand it in at the office.
Many thanks,
Miss McDowall
Today we had our first session with Nick from Rookie Rockstars. We learnt two songs: I’m Glad To Be Me and Don’t Give Up. We also sung other classic rock and pop songs. The pupils had a great time singing, dancing, air guitar-ing, moshing and fist pumping to the songs. Please ask your child about what they enjoyed most about the session.
Thank you for the ticket orders we have already received. Could I request that any further tickets orders should be in for tomorrow, Tuesday 25th April? Please put the exact money and number of tickets you want (max. 2) in an envelope. If you want any extra tickets, please note that on the form too. The tickets cost £5 each.
The Eagles and Ospreys will be performing on Tuesday 2nd May and the Hawks and Falcons will be performing on Wednesday 3rd May. The performances start at 6.30pm in the Main Arena at Ingliston Country Club. Pupils should arrive in the arena from 6pm and no later than 6.15pm. We hope to see as many of you there to support your child and the school as possible.
Official Rookie Rockstars merchandise (hats, t-shirts, writstbands) will be available to buy at the event. We encourage the pupils to dress like a rockstar for their performance.
Thank you,
Miss McDowall
Well done to all the contestants who competed in the quiz today. P6G contestants you did so well! Well done to the winners – the Ospreys.
The House Captains have organised a whole school quiz on Thursday, 30th March. Pupils are encouraged to wear their House colours on Thursday. Each stage will have two representatives to answer questions for each house and other volunteers will be chosen to take part in fun activities during the quiz. May the best house win! Apologies for the late notice.
Congratulations!
A huge thank you to everyone for taking part in our Sponsored Readathon. Our grand total so far is £2800! This will go a long way in helping us add to our Literacy resources across the school. We will still collect money until Friday 17th March.
Thank you again!
Mrs Hunter
World Book Day is fast approaching – this Thursday March 2nd. A wee reminder to continue with your Sponsored Readathon and to bring in any money you have raised on Thursday.
Dress up as your favourite book character or wear onesies/pyjamas – £1 suggested donation.
There will be lots of fun Literacy based activities during the day.
Mrs Hunter
I am still collecting kitchen roll tubes if children could continue to bring them in until next Monday.
Thanks!
Mrs Hunter
Just a reminder that our sponsored readathon has started. I hope you are all enjoying discovering new books and authors! It continues until March 2nd when we celebrate World Book Day. Children should come to school dressed as their favourite book character or wearing onesies/pyjamas. It is not an own clothes day so school uniform should be worn if you choose not to come dressed in one of the options. Suggested donation is £1. We will have lots of exciting activities happening during the day. Children should bring a favourite book to school with them on March 2nd.
Children will soon be taking home their £1 book token which can be redeemed in various retailers against a special World Book Day £1 book or to put towards the cost of another book.
Happy reading everyone!
Mrs Hunter
Dear Parent/Carer,
WW2 Show – Tuesday, 21st March 6.30-7.30pm
The pupils will be working with members of G.A.M.T.A. to create a performance based on World War Two. We will be showcasing this event on Tuesday 21st March from 6.30-7.30pm. All pupils will be involved. Tickets are free of charge and will be limited to two per family in the first instance and then will be on a first come first serve basis. We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
Rookie Rockstars – Tuesday, 2nd May and Wednesday, 3rd May 6.15-7.30pm
This year, as part of being a Nurture Pathfinder School we have introduced Bounce Back. To consolidate this, we have organised a whole school visit from Rookie Rockstars, a Music and Anti-Bullying Charity. Rookie Rockstars will work with the pupils the week beginning Monday 24th April, to teach them songs and record a CD. The theme of the songs promotes self-esteem and values. The following week we have organised two events to showcase the songs at Ingliston Country Club, Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd May, 6.15-7.30pm.
The Eagles and Ospreys will perform on Tuesday 2nd May then the Falcons and Hawks on Wednesday 3rd May. As we expect a high turnout for this event we will be limited to sell two tickets per family in the first instance and then will be on a first come first serve basis. The cost of the tickets will cover the expenses of Rookie Rockstars. CDs of the songs will be available to pre-order and other merchandise will be available at the events. £1 from every CD sold will help to raise money for the school funds.
Ingliston Country Club have very kindly agreed to host this event free of charge as they would like to promote community spirit. Palomino’s restaurant will be open before and after the event but they expect to be busy, so please book at least two weeks in advance and leave plenty of time for service. They will also be opening ‘On the Hoof ‘at 5.00pm offering hot snacks, filled rolls, cakes, pastries, teas & coffees etc. This is an indoor facility and has a seating area with tables, although the arena is quite cold so dress appropriately. More information about the events will be provided nearer the time.
We are very excited about this whole school event as Rookie Rockstars has an amazing reputation. Please visit their website for more information: https://rookierockstars.org.uk/ We are looking forward to watching the pupils perform and hope to have a great turnout for both events.
Many thanks,
Miss Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher

On Friday we held our annual House Christmas Art Day. This year our focus was important buildings in Paisley to help with their bid to become the UK City of Culture 2021. The Ospreys had the important task of recreating Paisley Town Hall and they did a wonderful job.
Here are our Ospreys hard at work. Please keep scrolling to see our completed display.
Our completed display (and our House Captains): Paisley Town Hall
Well done to all of the houses for working so hard today during the Christmas Art Day! It was wonderful to see everyone helping each other to create amazing individual art pieces and contributing to the big house displays.
I am sure all the visitors will enjoy looking at them tomorrow at the Christmas Fair.
Here are photos of the finished displays. They each feature a Paisley landmark to support the bid for Paisley City of Culture in 2021.
Congratulations to this week’s Stars of the Week!
Reminder:
Well done to to the Ospreys for receiving the most house points over the last 4 weeks. They have a non-uniform day tomorrow (Friday 7th) from P2H upwards.
