We spotted some special visitors to our Urban Jungle yesterday. The children were very excited to see 5 parakeets. 🤩 Our resident expert C in P5 was on hand to give us lots of facts about them. Can you spot them? #birdspotting #parakeets

Our very talented E in P6 has worked incredibly hard on her #Glasgow850 collage and it deserves a post all of its own. This has been a labour of love, starting in P5, worked on in her own time, only finishing now in P6.🤩🙌 AMAZING! #keynote #digitallearning #glasgowlandmarks

Today was our first violin club with Miss S. The children were getting used to their instruments and learning more about how to play. 🎻🎶 #violin #expressivearts #MerryleeMusic

P6 continued the #Glasgow850 project from P5 & completed the Album cover challenge. Landmarks in Glasgow were the inspiration, and using #sketchbook, they have thought carefully about the elements that make a good design. @glasgowcreate.online @glasgowrtc.bsky.social

Our #EcoCommittee has been working hard creating fact file installations in our Urban Jungle. Each child took a creature that our children may find on our school grounds, drew it and added facts. They then added to the fence in case any are spotted. 🔍💟👏#Biodiversity
