Congratulations to the team who put in a brilliant performance against a very hard working Langbank Primary to maintain their excellent start to the league.
It is great to see everyone working so hard in class, at training and during games.

Sport at Bishopton Primary
The Sport Committee have been busy capturing the action at our extra curricular clubs. It has been a busy term with football, minikickers, badminton, judo, tennis, gymnastics, dancing and much more. Here are only a few of the pictures.
Football Team
The school football team were in action yesterday and put in a great team performance against Rashielea Primary. They were fantastic to watch and showed a great team spirit throughout. Well done!
Track and Field
A huge well done to Jay, Erin and Rachael who represented our school last night at the Primary Track and Field. Iain Shearer, the Active Schools & Community Club Development Officer for Renfrewshire said “they behaved impeccably, gave 100% at their event and showed sportsmanship across the evening. The pupils were a credit to our schools. They missed out on winning the team prize by only a few points but definitely deserve recognition for their efforts.”
Well done to the three pupils!
Sports Day Update
Weather permitting, Sports Day will go ahead as planned tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd May. If we have to cancel due to weather conditions, we will inform you by text and Blog post in the morning.
Lunchtime Arrangements
Before lunchtime, all pupils will be taken back to class to register and collect their packed lunches, etc. If we have received the signed permission slip to allow them out of school during lunchtime, P4-7 pupils will be sent to the office to be collected. P1-3 pupils with permission slips will be able to be collected from the Dining Hall Fire Exit (at the greenhouse). Pupils who are not being collected by their parents will be escorted to the field by their teachers.
We hope you have a lovely picnic experience on the field. We ask that you encourage your child to stay away from any equipment that has been set up for the sports activities.
Remember to dress in your House colours to show some team spirit. Eagles – yellow, Hawks – green, Falcons – blue, Ospreys – red. Please wear or bring sun cream even if it looks cloudy, because we will be outside all day. Also, please wear a hoodie or waterproof jacket, just in case!
Thank you!
P5S – Basketball 2
Today Anna came in for your second basketball lesson. This week you were adding to the skills learned in our previous lesson.
You were shown how to stand for perfect shooting opportunities – with two feet apart! Anna also taught us all about the B.E.E.F technique: B: Balance E: Eyes E: Elbows F: Follow Through. You then used this technique in some shooting practice. How did you do? Did you remember to use what you had been taught or were you still trying to score using two hands on the ball?
Next Anna showed you a wee trick that would ensure you scored every time. Some of you found this a little tricky however if you were using the BEEF technique you might have found it easier to do.
We finished off with some game practice where you were to put all of these new techniques into play. Quite a few of you are still forgetting to think about where you are passing the ball. Remember to take your time to look about, see who is free and use the correct passes.
Here are a few action shots from this afternoon.
P7S Cricket
Today we continued to learn more about cricket and developed our swing and catching. Let’s keep listening carefully as we continue our competitive games.
P5S – Basketball
Today we had a lovely surprise when we heard that Anna was coming in to teach us some basketball skills. After some warm-up games you had some lessons on passing the ball. You had the opportunity to use bounce passes and chest passes with a partner. Next you were able to put these passes into practice when you played against one another in a few games. Great fun was had by all!
P4 Tennis
We where lucky enough to have a local tennis coach teach us some new skills during P.E
Sainsbury’s Active School Vouchers
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
P5S – Athletics – Let’s Run!
Today we decided to have our P.E. session out in the sunshine and what a lovely session it was! We continued with our Athletics topic and practiced our sprinting skills. In teams we held relay races in preparation for our upcoming Sports Day. We have some very fast runners in our class. I was very impressed at the effort put in.
Here are a few action shots from today’s session.
Iris Anderson award
Next up for Primary 7S was the javelin. We looked at the throwing technique and the aerodynamics of a successful throw. Well done for some great scores on a windy afternoon. Next time, if we concentrate fully on the challenge, some records could be broken!
Primary 6/7 Football Team
Yesterday the football team had a bounce game and a penalty competition amongst ourselves as our opponents couldn’t make the game.
The boys worked very hard and the wonderful weather made it even more enjoyable. It was also great to see so many supporters come to watch us!
Iris Anderson Award
Primary 7S began the competition with the 30m sprint.
Here are some pictures of the event.
P5S – Athletics – Long Jump
On Friday we continued with our Athletics topic. This time we were working on our long jump technique. This was quite tricky to do as we are started from a standing jump, rather than giving ourselves a running start before jumping.
In groups we looked at different ways of jumping across the hall and decided on which way would allow us to jump the furthest. Next we took it in turns to use our chosen technique to try and jump as far as we could. Our group members then measured the distance. What technique worked for you? There were some fabulous jumps being made. Please tell someone at home how far you managed to jump. Can you remember how to convert it from centimetres into metres?
Here are a few action shots.
Iris Anderson award 2017
Primary 7M started the Iris Anderson award with the 30m sprint today. It was fiercely contested with some excellent scores. I look forward to the next event!
P6/7 Football team
The team competed in a 9 goal thriller against a combined Langbank/Inchinnan team. The boys played some excellent passing football but came up against a goalkeeper in excellent form. Well done to both teams for an entertaining performance.
P5S – Athletics
In preparation for our Sports day next month we started our Athletics topic on Friday during our P.E. session. After discussing the importance of building our stamina and fitness we put our own stamina and fitness to the test.
As a class we decided to start with 3 minute sessions (we felt the suggested 8 minutes was a little too long for our first attempt). With our partner we chose a starting point in the gym hall. One of you then ran, jogged or walked around the track as many times as possible in the 3 minutes while your partner counted the number of laps you completed. You then swapped with one another.
I was very impressed at the number of laps being completed. Well done! How did you do? Please tell someone at home. Please remember to pace yourself. If you run too fast at the beginning you will tire yourself out a lot quicker. Next week we are aiming to increase the number of laps (and time).
Here are a few action shots from our session.
P5S – Hockey
Today we started a new topic in P.E.: hockey. To familiarise ourselves with the hockey stick and puck we practiced our passing and controlling technique. I was very impressed at just how well this was done. There were very few out of control pucks! You did a great job of passing them to your partners. Great effort this afternoon P5!
P5S – Archery
Today the Eco Committee organised for us to take part in an archery session led by Michelle from Active Sports. What fun we had! There are quite a few rules to follow to help fire the arrow correctly but I think everyone managed it very well. Kate even managed to get a bullseye!
Hopefully Michelle will be able to organise a club in school for you to attend. Watch this space!
P4a Big Pedal
We enjoyed braving the cold weather to take part in the Big Pedal. 🚴🏻
Eco Week Begins…
We had a great start to Eco Week today as we took part in No Paper Day along with the rest of the school. All of our lessons were paperless and we made an extra effort throughout the day to use other things in place of paper, including using hand driers instead of paper towels and our class whiteboard for class notes.
The main purpose of today was to make us aware of how much paper we use on a daily basis. We were very concerned about the amount of trees that have to be cut down to provide us with paper! We all agreed that we are going to try very hard from now on to use less, reuse and recycle the paper we are using.
We also had our first session outside for Big Pedal. This was great fun! Please remember that we will only be allowed on our bikes and scooters in school if we are wearing a helmet.
Here are some pictures from today.
P5S – Rugby Fun
What a busy morning we had! We finished it off with our first rugby session with Ross who came in to teach you some moves and tactics of the game.
To warm up we started off with a game of gym tig before moving onto a game of balance tig. Next you were put into teams to play a game of “10 pass rugby”. You played this very well, especially when you realised that it became much easier to pass when everyone spaced out a lot more.
To finish today you played the “Numbers” game where you went up against one of your classmates to try and score a rugby try. Again, this looked like a lot of fun and we had some great moves going on. Some of you just need to remember to keep both hands on the ball for the try to count.
P1-3 Multisports Club
The Sport Committee visited the multi-sports club today. There were lots of great ball skills and team work. Here are some pictures of their activities.
P1-3 Athletics Club
The Sport Committee visited the P1-3 Athletics club yesterday lunchtime. The pupils were very busy with their assault course. Here are some pictures of them in action.
