A huge congratulations to our P7 pupils for completing their tough outdoor week at Strathclyde Park⭐️ We are very proud of you all! With thanks to the team at Strathclyde Park for planning, providing and supporting all the activities 👍

Our Cross Country team took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 7th place in their race last week- an incredible achievement. Go Team Firpark! 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

Thanks to our friends Tesco Wishaw Community Champ Page and our Pr2 family for donating pumpkins 🎃 all used in our competition this year. Look how creative we can be! Winning pumpkin designs from R2 & R8. 👏 Congratulations 👏

Today we are going to look at gross motor toy ideas. Gross motor toys can incorporate bilateral coordination, motor planning, coordination, proprioceptive input and vestibular input. All of these areas work together in functional tasks and all are rooted in gross motor skills.

There are so many benefits to sensory play. We as Occupational Therapists often recommend that sensory play is incorporated into every young person’s day to support them in their activities of daily living. Do you have any other sensory toy ideas?

Wow, what an amazing collection for Motherwell Foodbank at the Maranatha from Firpark Primary Clydeview Primary School and Cathedral Primary School. A big thank you to all the families who made such a fantastic amount of donations.

A big thank you to Firpark & Clydeview Parent Council for the extremely generous donation of the Easter Eggs for all the boys and girls at Firpark Primary School. 🐣

Last week, due to a number of factors we had an alternative ‘Wear Yellow Walk’ in aid of the fantastic work that St. Andrew's Hospice continue to do in Lanarkshire. The P7s who took part really enjoyed their walk, which they know is for such a great cause.

What a lovely treat we had at Firpark yesterday, thanks to the Firpark & Clydeview Parent Council. Every pupil got a wonka bar with one lucky winner in each class getting a golden ticket. The lucky winner got a prize which they collected from Mrs Webster but the class also got a prize too! 🍫

23/24 has been a blast. Our hard work resulted in a new transition policy. We received significant recognition from Education Scotland for the work we do ! We brought some magic to our schools. We are off to recharge for 24/25. Have a wonderful summer Clydeview Primary School Firpark Primary

Wishing all our new pupils a great first day at Firpark Primary School. Also wishing our former P7s and other leavers a successful start to their new high schools.

Last week we had our first ‘Campus Connections’ meeting with pupils representing Firpark, Clydeview and Cathedral. The children will be working on a range of projects over the course of the year which they were all very excited about.

Today we had our first session with Project Ability as part of our ‘Campus Connections’ project to create fabric art work to be displayed in a shared area of the Campus. This is a six week project and we’ll share with you the finished product when complete. 😁

We want to say a massive thank you to Robert at Motherwell FC for our visit on Wednesday. Room 15 pupils are learning all about Motherwell and enjoyed a stadium tour as part of our learning. We were super excited to meet some of the players too! ⚽️⭐️

We would like to thank the Firpark & Clydeview Parent Council for their generosity! Thanks to them we now have a wonderful subscription to ‘Brick Borrow’ which gives us the chance to loan two sets of Lego at a time. Once the builds are complete we post it back and choose a new kit. Thanks again 😁

Since the start of January, Room 9 have been working with scientists from ClydeRiverFoundation to help develop brown trout to be ready to be released into a local river. They’ve loved their topic and worked with their scientist, Jen, to release them in the Clyde valley last Thursday.

A few weeks ago Motherwell FC very kindly sent Steelman down to Firpark PS to help celebrate our Fabulous Footballers at our Awards Ceremony. The children all had a great time!
