Good morning everyone.

Yesterday turned out to be nicer than expected so I hope you took advantage.  Remember not to stress over the tasks set by your teacher. We know all your circumstances are different and people will be able to access and complete the tasks at different rates and time. Do what you can, we are almost there! I believe Joe Wickes has cut back his times this week but there are lots of other sites available so get active and enjoy searching for inspiration.

Have a good day.

Good Morning.

Unfortunately the weather is not to be so nice today but I know you’ll keep yourselves busy indoors. Remember it is still important to keep in touch with your friends. Pop into the Chill Out zone and say hello and catch up. I’ve enjoyed seeing some of the Gifs and pictures you have posted there! The same good manners rules that we have in school apply but you know that already.

Have a lovely day.

Good morning.

Another sunny day. Only 3 weeks until the end of term, how time flies!

I hope you are all keeping yourselves active.  We still have Joe Wickes each morning and I know lots of you are going out on family walks. It’s great that we have the opportunity to do this. Something good out of the bad. Have a lovely day.

Nursery Siblings August 2020

When planning for a return to school in August, where possible, Primary School and Nursery age siblings will be allocated the same days in their respective establishments.

To help up to plan for this we would be grateful if you could inform us of any nursery age  siblings and the nursery that they currently attend or will attend in August 2020.

Please do this by emailing the details of your child and the name of the nursery they attend.  This will be of great help and will ensure we liaise with each nursery as appropriate.

Please send the email to bishoptonenquiries@renfrewshire.gov.uk

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Good Morning Friday 5th June 2020

Friday again! Where do the weeks go?

I have to report that we have had an exceptional number of positive comments praising our Talent Show Stars! A great success. Well done to all of our entertaining finalists who did amazingly well. A plethora of talent.

Once again I must thank you all, pupils, parents and staff, for working so hard and giving Bishopton’s Best. Have a lovely weekend and hopefully we will see the sun back.

Bishy’s Got Talent 2020

The time has come to reveal this year’s talent!
Please take some time this afternoon to watch the talent from P1 to P7 in our school. Every year we give you the opportunity to audition for the talent show and then show your talent to the whole school in a live performance. This year, it had to be a bit different but I think you’ll agree that the end result is of a very high standard. Thank you to everyone who auditioned and a huge well done to them too.
Enjoy!

Good Morning 4 June 2020

Good Morning – 3 June 2020

I hope this finds you all fit and well.

Today we have to thank our neighbour, Jim, for painting the bright and colourful rainbow on to our wall.  This symbol of hope and togetherness really brightens up our school and reminds us to look out for each other in these very challenging times.  Thank you so much Jim.

I hope you all manage to get outside and enjoy the outdoors today as well as the good work you continue to do online. Have a lovely day.
