Milo, Calum  and Callum  represented the school at the Glasgow (Dragon) Primary Schools Chess League on Saturday 9^th February. The event was held in Bishopbriggs and although this was the first time they had played against pupils from other schools they certainly rose to the occasion and were great ambassadors for the school.

A total of 32 teams played in this heat representing schools in the greater western Glasgow area, divided into different divisions/groups. The boys played 5 matches against other schools, won the first four matches and finishing with a loss to the school that won their group. This was a fantastic achievement for the pupils and their second place finish meant each won an individual silver medal.

All did superbly well and even managed a close 2-1 win in the local derby against the Bishopton C team.

I am sure that they all enjoyed themselves immensely and their chess abilities also improved.

All Ready for action!

As part of the ‘St. Conval to All Hallows’ project the group invited Sue Furness and our children from Inchinnan Primary School to make some models of the early churches at All Hallows.

Working with the oldest three classes at Inchinnan Primary, Sue got children from each class to make two sets of models – one based on Galloway’s drawing of the church that was knocked down in 1828, and one of what the earlier version of that building might have looked like.

There was a great turnout to support the Parent Council and school for our Christmas Fayre. The event  took place on Monday 3rd December at 6pm to 8pm.  The children from all the classes made things / items to sell on the night.

There was a great selection of stalls including tombola, a raffle, stalls selling gifts, home baking and even hotdogs, mince pies and mulled wine!

We also were very lucky that Santa and his reindeers could visit too.

A huge thank you to Colleen Hayes and all the other parent council members, parents , teachers and pupils who gave up their time to support with stalls to ensure this event was a great success.

The event raised £1092. A great achievement.

Here are some of the photos taken on the night.

Children enjoyed the school lunch yesterday. Thank you to Lynn Scullion and Ann Donnelly for their hard work in the kitchen. Thank you also to Mrs. Johnstone and Matthew Retson  for decorating the lunch hall. Christmas music played, the tree was lit and the children and staff looked very festive in their Christmas Jumpers.

Here are some of the children enjoying their lunch of steak pie or turkey!

Our school choir sang beautifully at the Inchinnan Parish Church lunch club for all the diners on Thursday and then at the Paisley Centre Shopping Mall where they sang for charity. It was lovely to see some of the choir’s parents and families also turning up to support their children at the two events.

The choir is run by two of our parents, Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Russell. Thank you  for giving up your time to support the children at their singing club and for accompanying them at these events. Thank you also to Miss McQuistan for accompanying the children.
