Thursday 18th April
It’s been a cracking day here at Braehead Primary. Here are our winners from our eggshibition. It was a very difficult task to choose winners. Well done to everyone who entered an egg. Happy Easter to all our families from everyone at Braehead Primary.
Please find attached the new menu which will begin on the 15th April. Paper copies will be sent home with children as soon as possible. Could you please ensure that your child chooses a school dinner which they will eat and that follows all dietary requirements.
We are having a competition as part of waste week to create a useful item out of materials that would normally be thrown away or recycled, for example a milk bottle bird feeder or plastic bottle piggy bank. All pupils are encouraged to take part by creating something at home with entries to be submitted by Wednesday 27th March. There will be a prize for the best P1-3 and P4-7 entries which will be announced on the 29th March.
Good luck everyone and remember, reduce, reuse, recycle!
Please remember that tomorrow is Red Nose Day (Friday 15th March 2019) and children are encouraged to wear their PJs to school for a £1 donation. There will be extra Red Nose themed activities taking place for a small donation of your choice. We are very close to reaching our target of £50 to gag Mr French and his ‘wonderful’ jokes!
A group of pupils representing Braehead Primary School visited the Kerse Road Railway site to bury a time capsule today. Please check out our school Twitter page for photos of the event.
What a great day we have had! During assembly today several children (67 to be exact) were recognised and celebrated for a variety of Wider Achievements. These included swimming certificates, horse riding competitions, reading very long books and challenging themselves by learning a new skill. The children all stood proudly in front of their peers and will have a leaf added to our Achievement Tree in the dining room – once they are all written! Please let your teacher know if you have tried hard at something and would like to be recognised and celebrated for this.
Four girls from our P2 and P3 were also awarded a bronze medal for their fantastic achievements at the recent Active Stirling Gymnastics competition. Well done to Evie McConnell, Mirren Downie, Sophie Davie-McFadyen and Silver Clark although it should also be mentioned that everyone who attended from Braehead Primary performed excellently and were ranked within the top 20. Well done team!
We celebrated Wallace winning the house point challenge with the members of Wallace house enjoying an extra playtime. This will be a regular treat for the winning house so get earning those points!
Last but definitely not least we celebrated the bravery and thoughtfulness of one of our pupils – Brooke Gilvear in P6. Brooke spoke with her family and decided a while ago that she was going to have her hair cut and donate it to charity. Brooke was recognised for her caring and generous actions and enjoyed a wee photo opportunity after assembly with her lovely new hairstyle.
Well done to all our brilliant Braehead Primary pupils!
