A Busy Time in P4b!

It has been a busy time in Primary 4b!

Primary 7 came and read some of Jesus’ miracles to us during Catholic Education Week.

Mr Harris came from St Ninian’s to teach us Scratch Coding. We have enjoyed programming our Cat and Pokemon and we are even creating our own games!

Mrs Neil came and introduced us to the Hour of Code website where we created a Dance Music Video! It was great fun and we are looking forward to using it again during Hour of Code Week.

We have been working with our writing partners to write disaster stories called The Nightmare Just Before Christmas, they’re coming along nicely!

When we were asked to create poems about Autumn but winter had almost arrived, we used the VR Headsets to go on an Autumn Walk and use our sense of sight. We then went outside to find inspiration for our other senses!

Porridge Smiles!

Primary 4 enjoyed creating Porridge Smiles today for Mary’s Meals. They took part in the activity to raise money for Mary’s Meals and support children across the world. The children were all extremely generous and we raised over £300. Well don Primary 4!

Primary 4 Retreat

Primary four were very lucky to be invited to a retreat organised by Father Stephen today. The children worked with Father Stephen, sixth year pupils from St.Ninian’s and volunteers from SPRED to explore the Bread of Life and prepare them for receiving their sacraments this year.

P3b have some Easter fun!

Primary 3b have had a very fun filled, busy morning.

They really enjoyed their outdoor orienteering before coming inside to show off their Easter crafts.

Happy Easter to P3b and families! Have a well earned holiday 🙂

P3 Stage Mass

Primary 3 would like to say a big Thank you to their families and friends who came along to celebrate their stage Mass today.

It was a very special afternoon for them. We are very proud of you Primary 3.

Primary 6 perform their Easter Cantata

Today, at Eastwood Theatre, Primary 3 were very lucky to be the audience for Primary 6’s Easter Cantata. And what a treat it was!

Primary 6 did a magnificent job of retelling the story of Easter. Some of us were very proud of siblings but we were all extremely entertained by everyone’s wonderful acting and singing.

Primary 3 really enjoyed their experience at the theatre.

When we came back to school, we chatted about what we thought of the Primary 6’s special performance.

“I loved the encore at the end when we got to hear the song ‘Roll back the stone’ twice.”
“I thought it was dazzling because they all looked really great in their costumes.”
“Jesus was really good at his parts. I loved his singing.”
“The Harpist at the beginning was magnificent.”
“The boys and girls were very expressive and sang out loudly.”
“I think Miss Kane was brilliant on the piano.”
“I thought it was amazing because I really liked the songs.”
“I thought the props were really good.”
“We thought it was very entertaining.”
“The acting was outstanding and they remembered all their lines.”
“Fantastic performance P6 – We loved your show. We were all very impressed.”

Scottish Catholic Education Week

Primary 3b have been really busy recently.

This year, the theme for Scottish Catholic Education week is, ”Serving the Common Good”.

We have been learning about the part we play in making the world a better place. We discussed how we serve the Common Good in our homes, our school and our communities.

In school, we have been trying to show kindness, patience and fairness to everyone. We have been working as a team during PE.

We have been doing team games and trying really hard to apply the skills, we have learned during Catholic Education Week, everyday at school.

Have a look what 3c have been doing!

RE

In RE we have been focusing on the theme of Catholic Education Week- Serving the Common Good. We have been learning about how we can all work together to do this and created leaflets and posters about ways in which we can do this in our own lives.

Music

Our Music specialist has been busy working with us again. We have been listening to the story of Peter and the Wolf and identifying the different instruments we hear in the story.

Science

In Science we have been learning about germs and diseases. We enjoyed carrying out an experiment on a potato in which we predicted and then tested where most germs would grow on a potato which had been outside, in a control bag, on the floor or which had touched our hands. The conclusion we found was that most germs grew on the potato which had been on the ground outside however our hands and the floor also had lots of germs!

Outdoor Learning

We have been learning about different angles in numeracy and have learned to identify a right, straight, obtuse and acute angle. For outdoor learning we had to create numbers using sticks and identify with the cubes the angles in each number.

Art

We have been learning about the work of a Scottish artist called Steven Brown. After learning about his life and his work we have been replicating his work. Have a look at some of the amazing giraffes that we produced using coloured pencil. Next we will be drawing Highland cows and using oil pastels as our media.

P3d learning about Serving the Common Good

P3d worked very hard during Catholic Education week to learn about ways in which they can become involved in Serving the Common Good. They worked in small groups to identify ways that they can help others.

Primary 3c’s Class Assembly

Our Assembly

Primary 3c enjoyed presenting their class assembly to parents and other classes this morning. They shared what they had learned about the Parable of the Lost Sheep and reflected on God’s message of forgiveness. Have a look at the pictures below.

Thank you to all who came and joined us.
