Westies Walk for Beatson

We had a great day on Friday 19th May raising money for the Beatson Cancer Charity. We had a visit from Amy who came and speak about what our donations will go towards and we had a special visit from Bella the Beatson Bee who came to say hello!

Everyone took part in a walk during the day and some parents came along to participate too. On Saturday 20th May, the staff at West and Maxwellton Nursery walked 10.1 miles from our school to the Beatson in Glasgow.

It was a great couple of days and our fundraising is sitting at an amazing £4,45! There is still time to donate through our Justgiving page www.justgiving.com/westieswalk4beatson

Anti Bullying Week

Last week we held an anti bullying week to highlight how hurtful bullying can be, how we can help each other to stop it and to make sure we fully understand what bullying means.

We had many events/activities during the week: the Pupil Council talked at assembly about bullying; we carried out a bullying survey; we asked parents to come in and help form our bullying policy; we all took part in an anti bullying poster competition; we had lessons on cyber bullying and we draw a self portrait as part of a big display we are making.

The Paisley Daily Express came to see all our work and if you missed us in the paper then have a look below!

Westies Walk for Beatson

On Friday 19th May, pupils and staff are going to take part in a walk to support the Beatson Cancer Charity. Children can wear non uniform for a £1 donation and we ask that they try to wear something yellow on that day.

In the afternoon, every class will participate in a walk in the area immediately around the school. The timetable below shows when the classes will be walking and you are more than welcome to join your child for their walk.

Time Class
10.45-11.15 am West Nursery + Primary 6
11.15-11.45 am Maxwellton Park Nursery + Primary 6
1.15-1.45 pm Primary 3 + Primary 4

To support the Beatson charity even further, our staff will be participating in a 10 mile sponsored walk on Saturday 20th May from West to the Beatson in Glasgow.

We have created a Justgiving page for donations.

We would appreciate if you could share this link with family and friends on social media and encourage as many donations as possible.

Thank you for your continuing support.

P5 Visit the Tall Ship

Primary 5 had an interesting trip to The Tall Ship and Riverside Museum in Glasgow as part of our Titanic topic. We toured the ship, museum and we became marine archaeologists finding artifacts from the Titanic. Thank you to the staff at the Riverside and parents for helping.
