I hope everyone had a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend and enjoyed the glorious sunshine.
I can’t believe we are coming into June and the final month of Primary 6. This month is going to be busy. Below is information for parents and carers.
Buddying
We are hopeful that buddying will be able to go ahead in August. Thank you to all the parents and carers who signed the forms allowing the pupils to record videos for their P1 buddies. This week Primary 6 will find out the name of their P1 buddy and will record their ‘Hello’ videos introducing themselves.
God’s Loving Plan
This week we will be commencing our God’s Loving Plan unit. Primary 6 have been notified that this will be happening and have been encouraged to let their parents and carers know. Primary 6 are aware of what is expected of them during this unit. Please be prepared to discuss sensitive issues at home with your child.
Lastly, if the weather stays as it has been this weekend we will be spending a lot more time outdoors. Please ensure children apply suncream before coming to school.
Thank you,
Miss Mudge
A reminder that Monday is a Bank Holiday and the children are on holiday.
Next week we are told that the weather should be nice. Please remember to apply sun lotion before children come to school and send them with water.
From Hairdressers to Vets and everything in between…..the infant department had a great day time on World of Work Day!

Please remember Rag Bag collection will be on 7th June. If you have any unwanted items of clothing, please fill the bag and return to the school before this date. Thank you.
We would like to say a huge “Thank You” to all the parents and carers who very kindly took the time to send in their World of Work videos for the children to watch.
They were all very interesting and the teachers and children enjoyed watching and discussing them on Friday .
Please make sure your child has a mask with them for Mass days. Thank you
A reminder to parents that we will be commencing our God’s Loving Plan unit this week. Please be prepared to discuss sensitive issues with your child.
We will also be visiting the church on Tuesday for a mass, so please ensure your child has a face mask.
Thank you.
Mr Bertoncini
Primary 4 have had a fantastic ‘World of Work’ day and had lots of fun throughout the day doing work related activities.
We started the day writing about what we’d like to be when we are older, thinking about the skills we have that would make us the perfect candidate for the job! We also had some fun creating some poetry, again discussing the fun we’d have being able to do our ‘dream job’.
We enjoyed watching the videos that were sent in from parents and staff around the school, talking about their occupations and discussing their jobs!
Later we had the opportunity to be an ‘engineer’ and design model playground equipment we thought children would enjoy using. We also had the opportunity to be an ‘artist’ and create some ‘doodles’, getting creative with our ideas.
We finished the day with Magic Mount Carmel games and activities this afternoon. The children have enjoyed their day and the costumes were fantastic. I enjoyed learning about what pupils aspire to be.
I am having some issues uploading photos but have posted a link to a collage of some of the fun activities we had going on today.
Just a wee reminder that primary 4 will be attending a church service on Monday afternoon. Could children come with a face mask as this will be required to be worn in church.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Travers
