Fairtrade Art Competition

Every class took part in this year’s competition which was to draw and colour a picture which included the Fairtrade logo. Every class had one winner and the overall winners were Dylan P4a, Jennifer P6a and Sofia P5b. The prizes were Fairtrade chocolate and key rings. The judges were the P4 Fairtrade committee. All the entries were very good and the best are now on display in school.

Fairtrade Art Competition 2018

This year’s school competition is to draw a picture which includes the Fairtrade logo, for example as the eye of an animal or in the fabric of a dress. All pupils will have time in class to make an entry. There is a prize for each class. The closing date is 28 February . We are looking forward to seeing lots of imaginative ideas.

Wizard of Oz

This is a live link to this year’s pantomime performance! We’re loving watching The Wizard of Oz – so far we’ve met Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West. Lots of laughs, songs to join in with and our Christmas lunch to look forward to too!

 

Road Race Stars

Primary 6 and 7 pupils did us proud last week at the Renfrewshire Schools Road Race when they swept the board, coming in 1st  overall in the P6 Girls, P6 Boys and P7 Girls events.  A special mention must go to Sarah Lyle who came 1st  and Caitlin Mackenzie who came 3rd  in the P7 Girls race and Josh Buchanan who came 2nd in the P7 Boys event.  We think you are all stars!

 

Remembrance Day assembly

P6b shared what they have been learning about Remembrance Day at assembly this week.  They told us about the significance of the poppy and why we should remember all the people who have given their lives for their country in wars and conflicts around the world. 

Marvellous Malawi

 

We had a brilliant visit from Caesar and Martha all the way from Malawi. They taught us some words and phrases and then we had the chance to make some noise by drumming and dancing! Our art work inspired by Tinga Tinga impressed our visitors too. We enjoyed blending warm colours for the background and used solid black to create body parts.  Miss Adam brought in fabrics to show us which helped bring our art to life.

Footballs – Malawi style!

As we are looking at Malawi as part of our Global Citizenship topic, we found out children there enjoy playing football as much as some of us do in Scotland.

Using newspaper, recycled bags and lots of string, we set about making our own footballs. Some of us got into a bit of a pickle tying the string but under Miss Adam’s guidance, we all managed to achieve success. We then had fun in the sun playing a variety of games with our hand-made footballs.
