We are delighted to say P1E are the daily winners – again! Well done.
Bishopton Primary are now 8th in the Big Pedal out of 367 schools nationwide. Well done to everyone, including wee brothers, sisters, mums and dads, who have come with their bike or scooter. Keep up the good work. Can we get to number 1?
Just a little reminder that this Thursday, Bishopton will be raising money for Children in Need. All children are invited to wear spotty clothing to school and take part in fundraising activities. If your child does not own spotty clothes they are welcome to wear something else! Throughout the day, the children will visit the gym hall for a spotty disco and will have the chance to purchase from the bake sale. The infant classes (P1-3) can take part in a ‘design an outfit for Pudsey’ and have the chance to win their own Pudsey bear!
Suggested donations for dressing up are £1 and 10p-20p for a cake from the bake sale. If any children from P4 to P7 are able to donate baked goods (without nuts please!) towards the bake sale that would be fantastic!
We are looking forward to raising money for such a great cause. Thank you in advance.
Homework was handed out in book bags yesterday. Our sound this week is ‘ch’ and spelling homework/instructions have been stuck into homework jotters. Please remind your child to bring their book bags into school everyday. If any letters are handed out I will ask the children to put it in their book bags. If you have any notes for myself or the school they are best put into book bags too. Thanks!
I am in the process of completing reading records for each child in the class, to ensure they are starting their reading at the correct level. In the meantime, this week I will also allow the children to take a book home to read for pleasure. If you can, please read a little with your child each night. I am also creating word walls for each child, so that they have specific words to focus on in school and at home. Each wall will be tailored to each child.
Last week we started our rainforest topic. We got into our topic groups and created a poster and a team name. It was great fun. The children will be making rainshakers in one of the lessons. P2B will have their lesson this Friday. If possible we would like the children to bring in an empty, clean plastic bottle for this lesson. Any size is fine. Thank you in advance.
Well what a great last day we had in P2H! We have had a wonderful year and I am very grateful for all of the support which you all have given over the school year. This support has been evident in each and every great achievement your child has made in Primary 2. Thank you very much for all of your cards filled with lovely words and the generous gifts which I have received. I will cherish my time in Primary 2H this year, and I look forward to seeing all of the children continuing to learn and grow as they progress into Primary 3.
Holidays are here at last. Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts and kind words. They are very much appreciated. We have had a lovely year and your children have been a delight to teach.
Have a great holiday. Kids – don’t forget to pop in and see Harry Hedgehog next year.
Thank you to P3H for sharing their stories with us at Read and Munch today. It was great that we were a character in their story. Everyone had a healthy munch, making their own fruit kebabs.
I cannot believe we are at the end of the year already. Please remember to bring in a plastic bag for work if you did not today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents that have helped with trips etc over this session. Remember school finishes at 1pm tomorrow. You may bring in a game or a toy as long as it is not sentimental or expensive. I wish you good luck in Primary 7 P6 and it has been a pleasure to teach you this year! Enjoy your summer holidays!
BAE Systems are running an exciting design competition open to everyone at Bishopton Primary School to create a sign around the theme of safe driving and sticking to the speed limit when driving through the village.
The winning designs will be chosen by a panel of judges and turned into road signs that will displayed around Dargavel Village. The pupils who created the winning designs will also get a small prize and a framed version of their design.
With the summer holidays about to start, this gives you lots of time to get your arty thinking caps on! All entries must be handed in by Friday 25th August (please ensure child’s full name and class for the 2017/2018 school year is written on the back). The winning designs will be announced at the start of September.
We are sure you will have lots of excellent ideas and can’t wait to see what you come up with!
We had a lovely picnic with our P7 buddies today. Thank you for sharing your lunch with us and for the lovely gifts. We will miss you when you go. Good luck in Park Mains. Primary 1s
A number of classes have been visiting Bishopton library this term to encourage the children to increase the amount they are reading. The majority of the books have now been returned to the library however there are still a number which are now overdue. It would be appreciated if you could have a look at home for any books that may have been taken out on the school card and return them to school by Wednesday. Please note you may also return them directly to the library if this easier.
I hope you all had a great weekend. This week is our last week. School closes for summer on Wednesday at 1pm. On Monday we will be bringing home our school work and gym bags. Could each child please bring in a plastic bag for their school work. They will also bring home their book bags.
Tuesday will be my last day with the class and I would like to take this opportunity to say what a joy they have been to work with this year. Thank you for all of your support throughout the year. Have a great summer.
Good afternoon everyone. We have now reached our final week together as P5H. I can not believe how quickly this year has gone by! It feels strange that this is my final homework/reminder post to you. Please continue reading to see what’s happening this week.
Personal Reading Challenge: Your Personal Reading Challenge finishes on Wednesday. A huge congratulations to all of you who have made a fantastic effort to increase your reading this term. I have been very impressed by your commitment. Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during ERIC time. Remember to record the books you have completed this term in your Reading Passport.
We will still be having ERIC time in class so please remember to bring you books into school.
Here are your reminders for this week:
Our last P.E. slot of this session will be on Tuesday. Due to the P7’s Leaving Assembly the hall will be out of use. Hopefully we will be pairing up with P5S and, as long as the weather allows, we will have P.E. outside. Please remember to have suitable clothing and a full water bottle with you.
The Summer Reading Challenge has now started. If you would like to take part, please click here to see all the details.

School closes for our summer holidays on Wednesday at 1pm.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of your parents who have supported us this session, especially out parent helpers who have came on our school trips and visits to the library. Without you these would not have been possible.
