Active Schools Clubs

Please see below the timetable for our Active Schools clubs this term. All clubs will start next week, beginning Monday 29th April.

You will see from the flyer that morning and lunchtime clubs will now operate on a drop-in basis (with the exception of dance on a Friday morning) so there is no need to sign up for these, however, all other clubs require you to sign up online in the usual way. If you need any help in signing up or use of a computer to do so, please see your child’s class teacher or Miss Munro and we can arrange this for you.

A reminder that all of our clubs are free, and along with Cochrane Castle, we are the only schools in a position to offer this opportunity to all of our pupils free of charge.

Easter Extravaganza!

We hope you have all enjoyed a sunny Easter weekend and managed to spend some time outdoors having fun!

Last week, our Parent Council organised our annual Easter Extravaganza which was a great success! They raised £140 which will help fund our whole school summer trip in June!

Well done to the winners of our Easter bonnet, guess the number of sweets in the jar and guess the bunny’s birthday competitions! We also had class raffles that were drawn on Thursday and the winners were: Aiden, Iain, Rebecca, Preston and Keiran! Thanks to Logan’s mum once again for donating the fabulous Easter baskets as prizes – what are we going to do without you next year when Logan is in high school?!

Here are a few photos of the Easter Extravaganza and some of our winners!

Sharing the Learning – Numeracy

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Numeracy Sharing the Learning event today. It was great to see everyone joining in and learning together. 89% of our guests rated today as Excellent  and the remaining 11%  rated it Very Good. If you couldn’t make it along today or if you still have some questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

These P1 pupils used a variety of materials to create a cul-de-sac – they told Mrs Berry all about cubes, prisms and the design process. They loved sharing their learning with their family and showing off their skills in the classroom environment.  We’re sure they have a future in architecture!

Did you catch our P4/5 pupils and class on STV news today?

Following on from celebrating Renfrewshire’s HMIe Inspection progress report last week which was launched in our campus, some of the captured footage was used by STV today to discuss the Scottish curriculum.

As always, our pupils were a credit to our school community. Here are a few screenshots just in case you missed it:

P4/5 Outdoor Learning 26th February

Primary 4/5 had great fun today at woods, exploring, creating and creating descriptions of the forest to use in an upcoming piece of literacy. The children also learned about looking for hazards and being safe, in teams searching for hazards and marking these for their classmates, to ensure everyone’s safety.

The class thoroughly enjoyed making dens that their ‘potential’ characters could have lived in, and exploring what would be their characters home. Climbing, sliding, creating, being safe: all in a day’s work for our explorers.

Outdoor Learning Day Reminder

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is Outdoor Learning Day for all the pupils at St David’s. Our classes will be making the most of the local area and this beautiful weather throughout the day. As always, please come dressed for the weather – it is still muddy underfoot in many places. We have loads of waterproofs and wellies available just in case you forget.
