TERM 4

ACTIVITY WEEK
In May, six of our pupils took part in an exciting and busy Activity week. They spent their week visiting a range of places and working on a range of activities in school. On the Monday the children had the opportunity to try out Tubing at Bellahouston Ski centre. The children hadn't tried this before and had a lot of fun learning how to do it. In the afternoon they visited House for an Art Lover. This is a house that was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and displays his famous designs and architecture. The children also visited Kelvin Grove Art Gallery where they took part in a challenge which involved exploring the art gallery to find out some interesting facts. The final trip was a visit to Amazonia which the children loved. They got to see a wide range of interesting creatures from the rainforest and many of the children were even brave enough to hold snakes and millipedes. The feedback from the trip was very positive and the children seemed to have a very enjoyable week.

ARDGOUR
The rest of the P7s ventured off to Ardgour for their residential trip to Ardgour. They visited an outdoor activity centre in the north-west of Scotland. The children enjoyed taking part in a wide range of new sports such as archery, canoeing, kayaking, a zip-wire ride, outdoor assault course, rock climbing and abseiling. The children had a fantastic week and were extremely well behaved. The were very positive in their feedback about their trip and will remember this experience for a very long time.


CHOICES FOR LIFE
As part of our Health programme this term, the children attended the Choices for Life trip at the SECC. The trip was very enjoyable as the children were entertained by a range of music artists, PACE theatre group and the hosts from Real Radio. However, there was a very important message given at the concert about making important choices in life. There was information about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. PACE performed an excellent drama about these dangers and the problem of peer pressure. We hope the pupils will remember these powerful messages for their future to help guide them in making the right choices.
