This Sway presentation has been made to give our new P1 pupils a look around our school while we can’t actually invite them in. I’m sure many current pupils will enjoy a look about too. Thank you

Rolling our ‘on trial’ Promethean Board into one of our P7 classes last week brought back memories of the excitement of being a pupil and having the ‘big tv’ wheeled into your class. Do any of our followers remember that???
We were delighted to be awarded our Silver Rights Respecting School award today after a year of hard work and a day meeting assessors. Our staff and pupils spoke so proudly about our journey. Thank you Mrs Henderson for leading us.

A joint campus pupil voice group met today to discuss some of the concerns around the use of the car park. They recorded their concerns and possible work that could happen now. Their main message was ‘we need to rely on the adults using the car park to keep us safe’. 🚗🚕🚙
A wonderful show of support from the community of
@NewStevenstonPr
and
@StPatricksPrim2
through our appeal for donations to support families of Ukraine.
The last couple of weeks have been flat out! Our staff are working so hard to create a digital package that’s engaging, progressive and can fit in with already busy households. However, this is a shout out to families supporting at home! You are crushing it!!!😀🙏
Calling all NSPS pupils - We are going on a bear hunt!🧸 Join Little Steve and I as we take trip in The Coby and see if you can count how many time you can spot him. We look forward to using this outside resource when we start back at school. See you soon!
We had a great morning celebrating our achievements this year at our end of year assembly. Before heading outside to present our p7 with there leaving certificates and John Muir Awards.
What a fabulous start to the week. The sun is shining! There is laughter in our playground! Our nursery and P1-3 children are having a fantastic return to school.
Mr Creighton ‘nervously’ held our first virtual school assembly today. He got to explain some of the new rules in the school and heard from teachers saying how much they were enjoying their new hard working classes. Looking forward to our next one.

Mr C asked what will you be taking away with you?
Answers: new friends, memories, new achievements, a big bag of smelly dirty clothes! 🧳😷🤢

#kilbowie2019
Well the end of a 2020 is near. All the successes we have had this year are down to the hard work and collaboration of staff, pupils and families. January won’t start as we planned but we will continue to work together to support learning and well-being. Here’s to 2021!
What a fantastic end of year celebration today! Yes, there were some tears but mainly smiles, laughs and wonderful memories 😁 We celebrated successes from across the school and showcased some amazing musical talent 🏆🎼🎷 But our P7s were understandably the stars of the show!👏
P7 had a fantastic day at the Science Centre and then went on to Frankie and Benny’s for dinner. Hopefully a great memory for them as they approach the end of their primary years.
Harrowing scenes from Indonesia this morning! After yesterday’s timely P5/6 assembly on natural disasters the proceeds from Friday’s dress down day will go to Save the Children’s emergency relief fund. Maybe we’ll give our own children an extra hug today too 🤗
This month, we are learning about our community and people who help us. A big thank you to DHT Mrs McIntyre and HT Mr Dinsmor from
@StPatricksPrim2

Next year’s P7 want you to know that although they can’t be with you when visit next week they are thinking of you. Here are some messages about how they feel about our school! PART 1
Thanks to the hard work and fund raising of our Parent Council we now have 2 new Promethean boards to use in classes. It is as if Christmas has come early! Thank you so much for helping start us off on this new leg of our digital learning journey!
@ParentNorth
@digitallearnNL
Thank you to all who attended and contributed to our MacMillan staff and parent coffee event. A special thanks to our parents who gave time to help out and to Miss Sangster for organising. Between this and our dress down day we raised over ........ £640!!! Amazing!
@MacmillanLan
What an amazing day! A huge thank you to our fabulous Parent Council. It was lovely to see so many pupils, staff, family and friends. The sense of community was incredible! As if that wasn’t enough ... we raised £2000 to be spent on the pupils of our wonderful school!
This year’s fantastic House Captains collecting their certificates. Thank you for being such fabulous role models as Vice Captains and Captains. Best of luck as you move to high schools. You’ll achieve great things we are sure!
A great turn out over the last couple of nights at our parent consultations. Warmth, positivity and laughter. Just as it should be when two groups come together to improve life and learning for our young people. Plenty more chances to build on this throughout the year! 🤝🤝🤝
Primary 1 had a very special visitor this afternoon and found a gift at their tables when they got back to class. I believe the janitor is still cleaning up after the reindeer! 🎅
🛎Calling all P7! Your P7 picture presentation is now ready to view on our You Tube channel. We hope you enjoy it. This usually gets few tears going at our end of year assembly. Please come back and leave us a message here! Click the link
📞 We have loved getting the chance to phone homes this week and speak with so many children and families. Looks like we will continue with this into next week too as we just haven’t managed to get round everyone yet!

Special day for many of our pupils. Our choir had the opportunity to perform on stage at Glasgow’s Royal Concet Hall and a group of P7 pupils took to the stage at Motherwell Civic as part of a large samba band playing to delegates at a nurture conference. So proud of all of you!
NSPS are a communication friendly school. We have Communication Champions and Assistants in each class. We would like to present our Communication Council to you 👌🙌🏻
We will be communicating lots,as we always do,over the coming days. So for now this is a genuine Happy New Year to our families, pupils & staff. The year will start challenging but our success will come from the support we give each other. Better times are ahead!
📣Calling all parents📣 Our uniform bank is open! Lots of uniform items in great condition! Items can be accessed just inside first set of main doors without entering the school building. Please observe any safety signs. 1 person at a time. Spread the word. Reduce/reuse/recycle!
What a fantastic start to our P1 transition visits! 🤩 Our first group of superstars made everyone really proud. They met their new teachers, had a tour of the school and even went on a bear hunt! 😳 🐻 ⭐️ ❤️

#Primary1HereWeCome
What an amazing start to the term. P2 and 3 so excited to come in the gate! Was actually quite emotional for the staff watching. Then P1 in, hands washed and already on task. Now, if the sun could just keep shining!
So proud of all of our Kilbowie children. Through the many challenges of this week they showed courage, spirit and determination. They were a credit to their families and the school. A pleasure to take them. Enjoy a well deserved long weekend!
After an amazing Sports Day with the support of lots of our families, we are so proud to congratulate the winners of our Sports Shield for 2023………… 💙🔵🏅CLYDE!!! 🏅🔵💙
We’ve had another exciting day at nursery learning about people who help us in our community. Today we had a visit from some local police officers. We had the chance to see inside their police car and we learned how to take our own finger prints 🚓👮♀️
@Lanarkshire_Pol
Delighted to announce our new Vice Captains at today’s assembly. A hard choice to pick from such great candidates but delighted with our choices. Congratulations Shirrell House.

We had a fabulous morning meeting our first two groups of new P1 children for our outdoor transition visit. Can’t wait for tomorrow to do it again with our last two groups. The weather isn’t looking good folks. Bring a rain jacket and a smile 😃!
Attention NSPS Community!Wednesday 17th is Kindness Day. We have a special day planned on Teams and a challenge! Please see our short video below. Can we achieve 100 acts of kindness?Thank you to all the staff who have worked together to make this something for us all to share!
We can’t wait to welcome back all of our learners tomorrow! We made good use of Thurs and Fri to prepare for the year ahead and spent time looking at our visions and values for education and our school. We look forward to including our whole school community in this in the term 1
We all had a great time at our fun sports day raising £850 for the National Autistic Society. Thank you to all our wonderful parents and carers for supporting Mrs Hendry with her fundraising
