Mrs Berry and Miss Crawford had the pleasure of attending the Celebration Event for Classroom Assistants this evening at Johnstone Town Hall to congratulate Mrs Wilson for participating in this Professional Learning Programme with Renfrewshire Council.
We are so proud of your achievements and for modelling our school values of Excellence and Achieving.
Don’t forget tonight is our 3rd How Good is My Learning of the session. The event will be held in the Dining Hall tonight and we’re looking forward to seeing you.
Tonight our House Captains will be asking you to complete our Annual Parent Survey. Your views are really important to us and help us to identify our strengths and also what we need to work on.
You can access it at the link below:
We will also have iPads in the hall tonight and QR codes available if you would prefer to complete it on your own device. If you would prefer a paper copy or any help to complete this, please let us know and we’ll arrange it.
As you already know after a successful year last year with recycling batteries, we are continuing with the challenge again this year.
Lets see if we can beat last years…
2,500!
Each pupil has been given a battery box home and should bring this to school when full. We have Battery bins located in the front of the school building where they will be kept and counted in June.
This Friday (25th January) our Community Heroes Pupil Leadership Group will be hosting a Crazy Hair Day. Pupils are invited to style their hair in weird and wonderful ways for the cost of £1 per family.
All the money raised will be used to support our friends in St Vincent’s Hospice and design a permanent Toadstool feature as part of their Woodland Walkway. We’ll keep you updated with our progress towards this goal.
We look forward to seeing your Crazy Hair on Friday!
Please see below the menu for the remainder of this week – including a special Burns’ lunch on Friday!
On Monday afternoon, Primary 6/7 went out for a walk to create a Journey Stick.
First of all they had to find their partner after choosing a ball at random – we had pairs such as Woody and Buzz, Mickey and Minnie and Mario and Luigi!
With their partner, the pairs then went for a walk and exploration around a part of The Bluebell Woods, collecting natural items. These items were tied onto their journey stick, in order, so that they could retell the story of their journey using the items as a reminder.
P6/7 also had a great time exploring the natural surroundings – even finding part of a tree trunk which became a throne and another huge tree trunk which was big enough to fit the whole class onto!
Today P2 went for a winter walk to come up with some good ideas and words for our winter poem. Armed with clipboards and pencils we worked in teams to think about what we could see, hear, taste, smell and touch in winter. We also talked about how we were feeling.
Some amazing observations and ideas included;
” drips as the ice melts”
” the stones feel like little balls when you move your feet around”
“I liked to see the bubbles when you step on the ice a little”
ice ” cracking”, ” tingling”, ” crunching” , “squeak”
