It’s the final week!!

This is your final week at Burnside Primary!! Can you believe it?!

I know that some of you will be feeling sad and the idea of leaving might seem a bit scary especially because it has not been the P7 you all expected or the one that we had planned! However, you are ready for high school and as your class teacher I could not be prouder of you all.  You have coped so well during this difficult time and you worked hard keeping yourself busy. You have also made me smile everyday with your emails and photos.

It has been an absolute pleasure to be your class teacher this year!

I am looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Remember to check the times for your visit on the school app. Also, if you haven’t sent me a P1 photo or a photo of you in your leavers hoodie please email it by the end of today.

Take care

Ms McGuinness 😊🌈

I have attached some fun activities for you this week.  Enjoy!

Wednesday Challenge: 17.06.2020

It’s the Wednesday Challenge!

Since it’s Sports Week I thought I would make it a sporting quiz!

  1. Which British athlete won a gold medal in the Kayak K1 at the Rio Olympics? 
  2.  Which British athlete has won the most Olympic medals? How many did they win? 
  3.  Is Sumo wrestling an Olympic sport? 
  4.  Who holds the current world record for the fastest 100m sprint? 
  5. Was Tug-of-War ever an Olympic sport?   

Good Luck 

Ms McGuinness 😊

Week 9 : Home Learning

Hi everyone,

How are you? I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday. Can you believe that it is the last full week of Primary School?

I hope that you can enjoy this week as there are lots of exciting things happening! It’s Sports Week and although we can’t all be together for it Mr Campbell has put together some fun activities for you to do with your family. It’s also Burnside’s Got Talent Week! I know that you are all a talented bunch so I hope that some of you have made a video to share on the school twitter page. This week you are also getting the chance to visit your high school if you are going to Stonelaw or Cathkin. It really is a busy week!

Remember to send me a P1 photo of you and also a video sharing some of your memories from Burnside or your plans for future!

This week there are less activities because you have so many other exciting things going on. As always, you can choose the order and number of tasks you complete depending on your access to a quiet space and the internet. Remember to email if you need any help with anything.

Have a great week and stay safe!
