Good Morning. We hope you have had a lovely weekend in the sun.

We are very excited to celebrate British Science Week this year at Bishopton Primary. We are looking for some parent/guardian volunteers who work in any STEM industry to possibly come in to do a short presentation on their job with classes in the school. You can deliver this in any way you choose. If you have a presentation it can be sent to the teacher to play on your arrival. If you would like to volunteer, can you please send a note to your child’s teacher along with a method of contact so we can get in touch to arrange a date and time to visit. We are super excited to hear all about your amazing careers!

Thanks

We had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating World Book Day. It was lovely to see all the children dressed up in their colours and hearing the children sharing their favorite books. Our school book is nearly finished and will be posted for you all to enjoy next week. Here are some pictures of the day to keep you in suspense until then.  Thank you for all your continued support, have a lovely weekend.

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day tomorrow at Bishopton Primary School. There are lots of activities planned throughout the day and we are looking forward to hearing about your reading. This year our theme for the day is based around the book – The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt.  If possible, your child has been asked to wear a specific colour. If your child does not want to dress up then this is ok too. If your child does not have anything in the specific colour then they can create something in class to wear, if they wish .

We hope everyone has a lovely day, sharing their reading and commemorating the day in class by partaking in activities.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Good afternoon,

On Wednesday 23rd February, we celebrated European Day of Languages. Each stage enjoyed learning all things French with a focus on French culture.

P1P and P1S were learning all about the history of Versailles and there was a lot of great discussion going on. They watched a video and loved finding out about the palace. P1 were also playing circle games to learn their French numbers.

P2K had lots of fun learning all about French colours.

P3AM enjoyed learning about the French artist Henri Rousseau and enjoyed creating collage pictures inspired by him.

P4M were learning about going to Primary School in France. Children start pre-school at the age of 3 and attend primary school at the age of 6. We found out French children don’t wear a school uniform. They have a longer day – usually 8.30am to 4.30pm. They either go home for lunch or have a school lunch, but don’t have the option of taking a packed lunch to school. Also, the children only attend school for half a day every Wednesday. They have longer holidays, and the new school session begins in September.

P4R learned all about French landmarks and created some amazing models and pictures.

P5A were learning about Louis Pasteur and found his contribution to vaccines particularly interesting given COVID-19. They recalled facts about him and used their knowledge of French colours to identify and draw fungi, bacteria and all things microbiology.

P6S looked at April fools day traditions around Europe and made some fish for Poisson D’Avril.

Finally, P7C and P7CK learned all about Bastille Day. We learned about why this day is so important and celebrated in France each year on July 14th. Then, we looked at Graffiti art. We watched a short video to see how popular graffiti art is, particularly in Paris. Inspired by this, we then created our own graffiti art based on some French words and our names.

A massive well done to everyone on another successful languages day!

World Thinking Day happens every 22 February and is a chance for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the world to think about each other, the worldwide movement they’re part of, and important issues.

If you are a Girl Guide, Girl Scout, Brownie, Rainbow, Scout, Cub or Beaver you may wear your uniform into school on Tuesday 22 February to celebrate World Thinking Day.

In 2022, the theme of World Thinking Day is Our World, Our Equal Future and will be a chance to learn about how girls and young women are overly affected by environmental issues and will explore how Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can speak out and take action for a better world.

The Ren10 Parent Drop-in service is an opportunity for parents/carers to discuss their concerns.

There is no need to make an appointment.

The aim is to reduce your distress and to help you to formulate a plan to assist you. This may involve making you aware of other services within the area.

The service is available to parents or carers of young people in education.
