Jesus Our Teacher- This is the name of the icon that has been specially commissioned to mark 100 years since Catholic Education was brought under government control in Scotland. Today, at St. Teresa’s Church our P5,6 and 7 pupils joined pupils from St. Teresa’s, St. Columba’s and St. Joseph’s College in marking this anniversary. Mass was lead by William Nolan, Bishop of Galloway. Fr. Jim and Fr. Gerald also joined us along with Mr. Colin Grant and Mrs. Elizabeth Gair from the local authority education department. Galloway Diocese is the first to receive a visit from the ‘Jesus Our Teacher’ icon as it begins its journey around the various diocese of Scotland over the course of 2018.

This week we have been looking at the book by Michael Rosen called “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.’  We loved doing activities relating to this book and we all worked together to create a wall display outside our classroom.  We discovered this story had lots of brilliant describing words which we are going to try to use in our writing.

Finally today we went on a bear hunt of our own in the woods.  You can see some of the photos of the bears we found below:
