Primary 4 Wedding Day
|
On Wednesday 17 June Primary 4 held their Wedding. They organised the whole event by themselves. They designed the invitations and decorations and as you can see from their album had a fantastic time.
Primary 4 would like to say a big thank you to all mums, dads, grans, grandpas and all who helped them at home with the wonderful outfits. They really did look the part.

Active Health Week
|
Health Week was launched on 24 May with a joint Eco Assembly with Rashielea Primary. Both Health Committees led the Assembly by emphasising the importance of making and maintaining good friendships. Thank you to the Health Committees at both Inchinnan and Rashielea Primary School for their hard work preparing Monday’s Assembly.
A variety of activities were also enjoyed by pupils, including basketball, street dance and line dancing! Primaries 1-4 also enjoyed input by Oral Health through the Gladigator Programme. The children were reminded about the importance of good oral hygiene and then enjoyed the inflatable assault course.
Health Week concluded with a joint venture between our own Pupil Council and Eco Committee Health Sub Group. Pupils organised and ran a Mini Olympics with all classes taking part. Activities included javelin, hurdles and high jump. Photographs will be displayed on our website shortly. Thanks to the Committees, who did a great job!
As part of Health Week, Primary 6 & 7 undertook internet safety. This was delivered in partnership with a Guidance Teacher from Park Mains High School. Mrs Scott recommended a useful site to discuss internet safety with your child -‘thinkuknow.co.uk’.

Around the Classes in March

March got off to a good start this year when Primary 4 visited Vikingar in Largs as part of their learning in Social Studies. They all had a great experience and learned many facts about life as a Viking.
Throughout this term our pre-entrants from our Community Nursery have been visiting Primary One. During the visits our future pupils took part in a variety of active learning activities.
Primary 1 visited Palacerigg Country Park in Cumbernauld on Thursday 18 March, where they saw many small animals and walked high above the trees on the ‘canopy’ walk. Primary 1 had a great day and came back exhausted!
Our Primary 6 Quiz Team took part in the annual Euro Quiz, which was held in Wallace Primary. We are very proud of them. Well done. On 8th March Primary 6 also took part in the ‘Safe Kids’ campaign at Linwood Sports Centre. There, pupils took part in a variety of activities such as ‘Stranger Danger’ and rail safety. On Wednesday 17 March Primary 6 explored where our local Whooper Swans breed and nest. This took them to a farm at Old Greenock Road, Bishopton and Castle Semple, Lochwinnoch where they observed the swans, including mute swans. This activity was organised by the Renfrew Health Clinic. Pupils have been asked to help design artwork as a centrepiece for the Clinic with the Whooper Swans being chosen as the main theme. This certainly has been a busy month for Primary 6!

St Mirren Football

The St Mirren football coaches came to Inchinnan Primary School on Thursday 18 March for a one hour coaching session with our school football team. It was a once in a lifetime experience. We were picked from our school and will be going to the St Mirran and Rangers game at the CIS Cup Final to support the teams. We will also get a training session at Hampden. It will be a great honour for us to represent Inchinnan Primary School. We are very pleased and excited about this.

Bag 2 School
|
This was a project that our Eco Committee organised to help with recycling and to raise money for school funds. We asked parents and families to help by collecting old clothes, felts, curtains etc. The support for this initiative was superb and many bags were handed in. These were then collected by Bag2School on 3 December and will be weighed. The school will received payment per kilo. £268 was raised the last time and we are waiting to hear how much was raised this time round.
This year we raised £324. Well done everyone.
