Whenever You're In Danger...

...dial 999!  All our pupils were entertained today by Hopscotch Theatre Company. They put on a fantastic show which helped remind pupils about keeping calm in an emergency situation, hoax calls & the various ways of dealing with emergency situation. 

Whilst the pupils were involved in the show our parents were given the opportunity to work with Mrs Cleary on a 'Heartstart' refresher so their focus was also on emergency situations.

George Wyllie Finale

We had the finale of our art project on Saturday at the new Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock. We took our paper boats we had made & watched them sail down the Clyde as they were launched from the Clyde tug boat. One of our ex-pupils , now in S1 boarded the crew of the tug to set off the water cannons. Artist Jimmy Watt  presented us with a special copy of his new book containing some of his paintings. We showed it to the rest of the school at assembly. Mike Russell spoke about George Wyllie & heard us sing in the schools choir. Our question mark sculptures which were donated to us by artist Alec Galloway were in pride of place at the entrance to the arts centre. We drew the articles of the Conventions of the Rights of the Child on them as part of our work as a Rights Respecting school. We did this to remind others to question if these rights are being met for children around the world today. We had a great day & the Waverley paddle steamer even dropped too!
