Bridge of Weir Primary School
Written by the News Team (Alexander, Anya, Daisy and Rhys)
This month, we are excited to announce that Bridge of Weir Primary
is the proud winner of a Digital Schools Award. Please see our full
story on page 6, and you can read more about the Digital Schools
Scotland award online at news.tiny.us/award.
Away from the computers, the P5s put together a ‘Mini Mudder’ to
raise money for their social enterprise projects ‘Bully Busters’ and
‘Litter Legends’. The course, which was completed by the P5-P7s,
consisted of a slime pool, a climbing net, hay bales, a tyre mountain,
a mud pit, and a slippy slide. At the start of the race, Head Teacher
Mrs Bell soaked the entrants with a garden hose. They then started
running around the playground with the P5s soaking them all the
way. It was lots of fun and the P5s managed to raise enough money
- through sponsorship - to buy litter pickers and other supplies for
their projects. The school would like to thank local farmer Mr Lyle
for the hay bales, and Active Schools for supporting the event.
Besides getting soaked, the P7s also got to take part in an outdoor
adventure at Castle Semple. There were lots of activities to enjoy
such as walking, a mini beast hunt, kayaking, team building games,
and much, much more. Luckily, they got a lovely sunny day to enjoy
all these outdoor activities ahead of their move to High School.
