Term 2

The Primary 7s have all really enjoyed the first term and are now looking forward to the exciting projects and trips arranged for Term 2. The pupils are going to be visiting and working with Reid Kerr college, Paisley and the Metropolitan College, Glasgow as part of their Enterprise and Eco-schools projects. The pupils will visit both colleges and get an insight into life in the Construction Industry where they will have the opportunity to develop their skills by making exciting items in the workshops. More information to follow soon!

DRAMA
The pupils enjoyed a session this week with a Drama specialist from a local drama school. The pupils worked well in groups to act out scenarios and developed their improvisation skills through a range of activities. The drama teacher praised the children for their excellent control and behaviour. Well done P7!





HARVEST GIFTS
Last Friday the Primary 7 pupils enjoyed their task of delivering Harvest gifts to elderly members of the local community. Many people who received the gifts were very grateful to all the children in the school for their gift. The pupils enjoyed the experience.

ROTARY CLUB QUIZ NIGHT
A team of P7 pupils took part in a light-hearted quiz this week organised by the Renfrew Rotary club. The event took place in Newmains Primary school. Each of the 5local primary schools entered a team and a mascot for support. Our Kirky Croc was there to cheer on our time who did very well. The quiz involved a range of general knowledge questions. We are very proud of our pupils for taking part and each child received a certificate and book token.






ECO-SCHOOLS
As part of our Eco-schools task in caring for the Environment, we are taking part in a couple of litter picks in the school grounds with the Primary 1s and Primary 2/3. This will be useful in ensuring our playground is well maintained; it will support us in working towards our next Green Flag and will encourage the infants to get involved in our mission.

Operation Smile

This week Primary 7 will embark on Operation Smile. The campaign being supported by Blue Peter will help to fund vital operations in India and around the world.

It involves the design and manufacture of surgical gowns from second hand t-shirts. Could Primary 7 children please bring an old, clean t-shirt - the bigger the better so we will take mums' and dads' t-shirts as well.

Look out for the Blue Peter show featuring the Operation Smile campaign on Wednesday 21st October. Take a look at the website for more details.

Thanks for your support.
