Charles Rennie MacIntosh
As part of our ‘Where in the world is Scotland?’ topic we found out about Charles Rennie Macintosh, an artist from Glasgow who was also an architect and designer.
We were inspired by his work and had a go at creating our own rose pictures which we completed just in time to take home on Valentine’s Day.

It is interesting to see how we all used colour and line a little differently, all with beautiful results.
Pancake Day – yum!
Primary 4 and 5 came up with a number of good reasons why Miss Leask should let them make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday – including weighing, measuring, reading instructions, sequencing, team work, co-operation to name but a few ….. how could she refuse 🙂
P.S. They were delicious!
Primary 3/4/5 trip to Mareel and Scalloway castle
What a busy Monday Primary 3/4/5 have had. Despite chilly weather all pupils were dressed warmly and were raring to go on a very interesting school trip. Â First stop was Mareel where we enjoyed the experience of watching the film ‘A Christmas Carol’ in a cinema with our classmates. Â Afterwards we went into the projection room, here we found out how films get projected onto the big screen.

 With a key that big, it can surely only be for a castle door! 
 A little play outdoors before we head home again. Shoebox appeal 2017
On a recent trip to Shetland, Finlay Mackenzie who works for Blythswood care gave a talk to Primary pupils about the shoebox appeal. Shoeboxes are filled with gifts like shampoo, socks, a notepad, small toy and then delivered to someone in need. They are distributed to Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. Â If you would like to fill a shoebox for someone this Christmas you can take it to the school office which is our local collecting point – last collection day Monday 30th October.
A taste of Thailand
Catherine’s parents have been helping us in school this morning to make some delicious Thai food.  Making the food was great fun and the verdict on the taste …… Awesome! We also learned a few Thai words  Khobkhun Ka! Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time and learned a lot.
Aith JHS Day of Action – a snapshot of progress
“You can actually make anything out of anything as long as you try hard and are positive” Liam P4.
I think he perfectly sums up our busy day. Massive thanks to the RSPB, our hardworking volunteers, Early Years, Primary and Secondary pupils who all worked together to improve the outdoor environment around the school – what a difference a day makes!
 
Roman Invasion!
Ori gets a speeding ticket!
