Primary 4
Primary 4 had lots of fun learning about capacity and volume. They took part in a stem challenge and went head to head in teams to see who could save the most water. Well done to team number 1. #STEM

NURSERY LOGO DESIGN COMPETITION
Congratulations to the children and their families in our nursery who won the logo design competition. It was difficult to choose only one winner from all the wonderful entries so the judges picked two winners and we combined the designs to create our new Logo. Each of our winning families received a family movie pass for Showcase Cinemas, kindly donated by Showcase Deluxe, Coatbridge. Thank you to all those who entered.

Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal
Our Community donations have made their way to Turkey. Our High school partner received an update from the Turkish Consulate in Edinburgh, informing them that all our donations had arrived safely via Turkish Airlines. Donations have reached Kayseri and Hayat Kirikhan, where they will be further distributed to the worst affected areas. Again, a huge thank you for your continued support and generosity.
This Week in Primary 1
We have had a very busy week this week in Primary 1. We have been learning the v sound and how to add numbers within 10. We went on a school trip to the Science Centre and had an amazing time learning about forces and magnets. We also had a special homework project to reuse some of our recycling and create something new. We made some super robots and rocket ships and were very creative. We then used our talking and listening skills to share what we made with our friends. Thank you to all the parents that took the time to help. 
School Traffic and Parking
This is a reminder that there are no parking facilities in and around the school. Parking in unauthorised areas presents a huge risk to our children and other pedestrians.

Science Week in P4
P4 have enjoyed a wide variety of activities during science week.
We started with a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre where we attended the Fossil Fuels Science Show. We then got to participate in a ‘Powering the Future’ workshop.
In class, we learned about helicopters and experimented with paper versions.
Later in the week, we explored SCRATCH, an online coding website, and created our own animations.
We like to say a huge ‘Thank you’ to all our fantastic parents who came into class and shared information about their careers in the Science and Engineering Industries.
Mr Wards also brought in his 3D printer with some cool objects that had been 3D printed. Some even glowed in the dark!

We also had a visit from Mr Wards who brought in his 3D printer plus some cool objects that he’s printed. Some even glowed in the dark!
Mrs Thomson also brought in her Tesla car and told us about renewable energy and how cars can be more environmentally friendly.
Thanks also to all the Mums and Dads who came along and spoke to us about their careers in the Science and Engineering industries. You were all brilliant!!
