Over the next few days, our local authority is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in an online survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help our local authority to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan future improvements to local services. Please let our school office know by Friday if you don’t wish your child to take part.

P5 Thanksgiving Mass
We were delighted to welcome Fr Andrew to our school recently to celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving with the children in Primary 5. This was a beautiful celebration for the children who received the sacrament of First Holy Communion in October. Please click on the link below to view some images from this Mass.
P4 – Bulb planting
P4-Bulb planting
Primary 4 are taking part in Edina Trust’s Bulb Project. We have found out lots about plants and what they need to grow.
We also planted our own daffodil bulbs on 31st October 2019. We monitor the temperature and rainfall as often as we can in order to participate in a Nationwide Project regarding climate change.
Our bulbs are now starting to show some shoots. The tallest one in our class measured 21cm.
P5-Primary Engineering Event
The children in P5 have been working hard on Primary Engineer STEM challenge. They learned about electronic aerodynamics, circuits, gears and friction, then used what they had learned to design and build their own powered vehicle. Two teams of children (Mateo de Medina, Joseph Fallon, Imogen Porteus and Lola Punton) took their vehicles to the Renfrewshire celebration event at AFRC, Inchinnan, where they competed with P5 – 7 pupils from across the authority. Both teams demonstrated a great level of understanding and were very supportive of each other and the other participants. The girls were awarded a medal for the ‘Best Themed Vehicle’ and certificates for coming second place in the competition.
Fantastic effort!
