Santa Dash
The children of the school and ELC braved the cold wind to take part in our Santa Dash this afternoon. They ran for 15 minutes and were treated to hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows to heat them up.
Their efforts raised nearly £200 in total, with half going to a children’s charity ‘Wish Upon a Star’ and the other half to Parent Council Funds.
Thanks go to the children for their efforts and to Mrs Susan Graham for coming to help organise the event and encourage the children while they ran.
Christmas Party
The children had a lovely Christmas party today, with games, dancing, a visit from a very generous Santa and a fabulous buffet lunch cooked by Kerry and Francis.
Everyone had a great time!
Christmas Concert
What fantastic performances from all the children last night at our Christmas Concert. The show started with the school children getting everyone into the Christmas spirit by singing ‘Christmas has Started’.
The audience were treated to some very Christmassy songs beside the fireplace with our ELC children, some talented solo instrument players plus the P1-4 performance of ‘Snowman at Sunset’ and P5-7’s ‘Dragon Days’.
The school choir sang ‘We Will Rejoice’ and the show finished with a Christmas carol and an enthusiastic rendition of ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’.
It was lovely to see so many parents, relatives and friends of the school in the audience.
We are delighted to have raised £865 through entry donations, the raffle, crafts and Guess the Bear’s Name.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who brought prizes for the raffle. Midnight the Hamley’s Bear has headed off to his new home where he will get lots of cuddles!
Lego Club
Lots of children in school have been contributing to this fabulous Aquarium at Lego Club. They have been developing meta-skills such as creativity, collaboration and communication while working on this fun project.
Here some of the children who contributed are pictured with the model but well done to everyone who took part in Lego Club this term.
Next the children are going to be making a special Lego Christmas display.
Bookbug
We were very lucky to have two special Bookbug sessions led by Carol Allibobe in school today. The first was for the P1-4 children who had great fun listening to their story and taking part in fun activities.
Then we had a lovely open Bookbug session for children in the local area.
The children sang songs, played a parachute game and listened to a story about a star.
Then they visited the ELC area to take part in activities from making stars for their Christmas trees to decorating tasty star biscuits.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Bookbug event this afternoon and to Carol for being our Bookbug leader.
ELC & P1 Listening Skills
The ELC and P1 children have been developing their listening skills in weekly sessions with Natalie and Carol from the Early Years Team.
The children invited someone special from home to join their group today. They played Pass the Hat, Music Boxes, Hunt the Sound and Musical Frogs.
Everyone got a thumbs up for excellent listening during the group.
Thank you to everyone who came to join in today.
Guy Fawkes
What better way to celebrate Guy Fawkes night than having our on mini ‘bonfire’ in the ELC.
The children learned how to stay safe around the fire, made their own snacks, watched some magic happen – colour changing flames! Wow! Once the fire had cooled down, some of the children used the charcoal to mark make with.
A very exciting day for our ELC children. 🔥🎆
Blythswood Shoebox Appeal.
As part of our Rights Respecting Schools work the pupils looked at the Rights of the Child across the globe.
They decided they wanted to do something to help children who were struggling to get an education.
We linked up with Serenity Spa at Machrihanish for their Blythswood Shoebox Appeal. Families and staff were asked to donate educational items that could help a child towards their education. We had a fantastic number of donations which we added to the boxes. These boxes will be taken to England to be checked before being distributed to families in Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.
Thank you to all families and staff members who donated items and a special thank you to Laura Kennedy at Serenity Spa for allowing us to link with them for this project.

Maths Weeks, ELC and P 1 - 4
The ELC, Primary 1 and Primary 2 watched some Jojo the Gnome clips. They decided to create their own version of Jojo Gnome’s Birthday, where they had to guess what was inside Jojo Gnomes 10 birthday presents. This involved lots of counting to and from 10.
Throughout the week they also looked at different shapes and their favourite activity was definitely making bubble wands using different shapes. The wands with a circle definitely worked the best. They managed to blow some huge bubbles!
Primary 3 and 4 got creative by making doodles out of the. numbers 1 – 9. They were also given the challenge of building the numbers from Lego. They then had to use their Lego numbers to answer +, -, x and ÷ sums.
The ELC and P1 children had a number- themed Bookbug session with Carol Allibone. The smiles show how much fun they were having.
Article 20: Children have the right to an education which develops their personalities and abilities.
Scottish Maths Week

Ducklings Visit
Extremely popular little visitors at school today!
The children in P1-4 have been learning about farms and the others could not resist meeting these little ducklings. Thank you very much to Kaitlin and toby for bringing them to school and sharing information about caring for them.
Article 29
You have the right to education which tries to develop your personality and abilities as much as possible and encourages you to respect other people’s rights and values and to respect the environment.
STEM
It was the perfect day for some outdoor STEM activities. P5-7 were challenged to build dens with the base in either the shape of a triangle or rectangle. They then had to apply their knowledge of maths to calculate the perimeter and area of each den’s base.
Outdoor Learning
The ELC children have joined up with the P1-4 class to engage in outdoor learning opportunities. Co-operating with their friends, they had the task of building a den which all children had to fit inside. This was not an easy task with the wind fighting against us! We then gathered inside the den to listen to a story before heading off to start some fun challenges.
'Make £5 Grow' Fete
The children certainly succeeded in ‘Making £5 Grow’ with their fete. They had planned their activities, organised their prizes and resources made sure they had kept within their budgets.
What a fantastic turnout there was at the fete, meaning the children made an amazing profit of £351.50 which the school gets to keep. A decision will be made in consultation with the children to decide what it should be spent on.
Thank you very much to Marie of Virgin Bank for introducing this initiative to the children and for her support and encouragement during her visits and today at the fete.
Thanks also go to parents and friends of the school who supported the children so well and to Mrs Martin who helped the children develop their ideas and market their stalls.
Bike Safety Training
The P7 children had an afternoon of Bike Safety training. They learned to start safely, use signals to turn and, most importantly, keep looking to make sure it is safe.
Thank you very much to Mrs MacKay for giving up her time to come out and teach these invaluable skills.
School Trip to Dunaverty Beach
We had a lovely school trip to Southend yesterday. The children enjoyed some time on Dunaverty beach before walking to the play park and football field.

ELC Sports Day
The ELC held their mini Sports Day today, taking part in a running race, hurdles, the sack race and a potato and spoon race. There was lots of laughter and excitement from the children as they raced.
Thanks to the ELC staff and the Primary 7 pupils for organising and running the event. The children were delighted to receive stickers and special medals at the end. Well done everyone!
CPR Training
The P6 and 7 children had a very worthwhile afternoon, learning about how to place someone in the recovery position and how to carry out CPR, in a session led by Angela from Heartstart.
Staff, parents and members of the community attended training on CPR and the use of defibrillators at an after-school session, again led by Angela.
We are very grateful to Angela for giving us this opportunity as we know that it is so important to have knowledge of what to do in an emergency situation. Thank you, Angela.
We will let everyone know when our defibrillator is in place at the school, hopefully in the near future.
Drumlemble Sports Day
The sun shone for the Mini-Olympics yesterday. Countries from around the world gathered to take part in a range of events-javelin, shot putt, hurdles, horse eventing, the triathlon, relay and archery.
There was an opening ceremony where the Olympic torch was passed from team to team.
The event ended with a medal ceremony. It was lovely to see the children cooperating in teams and encouraging each other.
The more traditional races took place in the afternoon, with a small break for the inevitable rain shower.
Generation Science
A big thank you to Generation Science who visited us this morning to deliver fun and engaging hands on science activities.
The children loved their role as scientists and all commented positively on this wonderful experience.
They were given the challenge of using an indicator to identify whether liquids were neutral, acids or alkaline and then used their knowledge of this to create chemical reactions in different experiments covering colours, various other changes and solutions.
The highlight of the show was obviously when there were some ‘bangs’, ‘fizzing’ and ‘pops’. What a brilliant experience for our budding young scientists.
Running Club
Great weather for a run!
To celebrate World Kids Athletics Day, our Running Club set off down the Bruntland Road, led by Susan Graham. They ran over a mile and were rewarded with certificates for their effort.
Thanks go to Susan who has very kindly led the Running Club in school and set the pace for today’s run.
Well done also to all the runners!
Badminton Superstars
Congratulations to these superstars for winning the Doubles (unseeded) Badminton in the Scottish Schools Badminton Competition in Stirling today, playing against children from all over Scotland – what an achievement! Very well done to both.
They also played fabulously in the Singles Competition, reaching the knockout stages of this competition too.
We hope they will be able to share some of their skills with the rest of their classmates in future lunchtime clubs! 🥇🏸
World Earth Day
The children were delighted to have another visit from Mia Leng, Marine Biologist from SAMS, following her earlier workshop during British Science Week.
She showed the children how marine pollution is caused by items which enter the sea. As it was World Earth Day on Monday, this reinforced to everyone how important it is to take action to preserve our environment and its creatures.
Thank you again to Mia for visiting us; the children hope to see you again soon.
Children's Rights
Just before the Easter holidays, the children led an assembly for parents sharing what they have been learning about Children’s Rights. They explained the ABCDE of Rights through actions then each group presented information about a particular Right. They chose how to do this themselves and were very creative with their ideas.
Article 42: Everyone must know Children’s Rights
Parents/carers also had the opportunity to look at our new Nurture Area.
Nurture Principle: The Environment offers a safe base.
P1 - 4 Tennis Court Visit
Primary 1 – 4 were invited to attend the tennis courts today after receiving some tennis sessions from Mrs Ramsay over the past few weeks.
A huge thank you to Catherine Dobbie for allowing us to visit the tennis courts and for supporting us with our session today.
I think we have some budding tennis players of the future.
ELC Beach Visit
The ELC children had a busy morning yesterday exploring the local beach. They learned how to stay safe at the beach, went on a scavenger hunt, built sandcastles and climbed on the rocks.
Whilst the children are having fun exploring, they are developing a whole range of skills alongside. We look forward to more beach visits again soon.
British Science Week
What a fabulous start to British Science Week!We had a visit from David Cook of Discover Space. He told the children about the role of the MACC Base in rocket engine development and testing . Excitement was high as Mr Cook launched a small rocket, explaining how this would work on a large scale in real rocket launches. He answered many of the excellent questions the children asked and commended them on their interest and enthusiasm. Thank you very much to David for his visit and for sharing his expertise.
The classes split in the afternoon with the ELC and P1/2 children becoming scientists and investigating dinosaurs. They had to excavate dinosaur bones from the sand, create dinosaur skeletons using pasta and then make their own split pin dinosaur.
Meanwhile, P3-7 children were working in groups to create a pulley system which could lift rocks during the search for survivors after an earthquake. They had learned about why earthquakes occur and how technology plays a big part in rescue and recovery work.
Another very busy day for everyone on the 2nd day of British Science Week. Click on the photos to read the captions to find out what happened today.
Thank you very much to our visitor, Mia of the Scottish Association of Marine Science, who kept the children enthralled with her sealife talk and activities.
Day 3 of Science Week involved a visit from the Kintyre Rainforest Alliance to give us a closer look at lichens, fungi and moss found on trees within our local area. It is very important that these rainforests are preserved as they provide the perfect habitat for a huge range of species. Thank you very much for coming to speak to the children.
ELC and P1/2 worked together to take on the job of palaeontologists by excavating cookies. They had to work very delicately to extract the chocolate chips, mimicking the way palaeontologists have to chip away rock very carefully to expose dinosaur bones.
In the afternoon, STEM challenges were led by P7 pupils who are working towards their Young STEM Leaders qualification.
Tomorrow we are inviting parents/carers to join us any time between 9:00 am to 10:30am as we are hosting a drop-in Open Science Morning. Please come along to see some of our new STEM resources in action and take part in some STEM challenges along with the children. We look forward to seeing you.
What an end to British Science Week! We had a lovely morning working with Jo, using the MTa engineering kits to complete 2 construction challenges using super-sized building materials. These challenges promoted team working, with older pupils supporting and leading younger group members, whilst also further developing learners creativity and critical thinking skills. One of the challenges was to build a wheelbarrow which could hold a glass of water.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo and look forward to some more STEM opportunities with her again soon.
World Book Day
The children had a lovely ‘Relax and Read’ for World Book Day. They dressed in their pyjamas and onesies then made book character Top Hats to complete the look!
