P1 and P7 Fun in the Sun

Yellow Sun icon | Free SVG

This afternoon P7 joined us to help us practice some of the skills we have been learning in P.E. It was just wonderful to see everyone having so much fun in the sun. The P1’s had a great time playing with their buddies and I am sure they were all very tired when they got home today. We are already looking forward to the next time we all get together. Here are some photos; hopefully I managed to catch everyone.

Our New Outdoor Classroom

We are all absolutely thrilled with our new outdoor classroom that was installed this week.

The classroom has a whiteboard and seating for pupils and along with  new outdoor learning resources, portable connection for some iPads,  gives us many options for taking the learning outdoors.

We are looking forward to making good use of it in the weeks ahead.

Thank you to Mrs Davidson who has been overseeing the project.

Big Walk and Wheel

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel - Sustrans.org.uk

As you know, prior to the Easter break we took part in Sustrans inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge, the Big Walk and Wheel ….. and what fun we had!

This year, for the first time, we are presenting the class who had the most active travel over the two weeks of our Big Walk and Pedal with the Mrs Ferguson Big Pedal award. Many of you will know that it was  Mrs Ferguson who first introduced us to the Big Pedal a number of years ago. She is a huge cycling fan and always wanted to instil her enthusiasm in all of us. I am delighted to announce that P1S are the very first winners of this fabulous shield and we are very excited to share our class photo with you.

A huge well done to all of the classes at Bishopton Primary; we finished in 48th place out of the 2,440 schools who took part. What an amazing achievement! Go Bishopton!

Park Mains Youth Participatory Project

Park Mains S5 and S6 pupils have been visiting the school for the last four weeks as part of their Sports development class. They have been trained up to deliver different sessions relating to the PE curriculum and have been working with our Primary 7 pupils.

The pupils have really enjoyed the experience having lots of fun whilst developing their teamwork, throwing, catching and hand-eye coordination.

A big thank you to Mia, Olivia, Dillion and Sam for all of their hard work. Here are some pictures of our sessions.

Symmetry is Egg-citing!

Classroom Treasures: Easter Egg Symmetry @AttainRen

This week every pupil designed a symmetrical egg. They could either use an egg with one horizontal or one vertical line of symmetry or to challenge themselves by designing an egg with two lines of symmetry. The prize was a chocolate egg for the P1-3, P4-5 and P6-7 winner.

Success Criteria:

  • symmetrical
  • colourful
  • neat
  • creative

The three best designs were chosen from every class then these were put through to the final round. I was blown away by the standard of the designs because the pupils had been so careful to make them symmetrical AND the creativity was superb. So many unique ideas and patterns that demonstrated the many different individuals we have at our wonderful school.

Have a look at the three best designs from each class. These imaginative pupils won a sweet treat. Scroll to the bottom to see our final winners.
