Roll on Friday and a well-deserved holiday for Mr Burns. I don’t know how he puts up with us. A very busy month on the religious front with the highlight being our ‘Sacramental Seven’ making their First Reconciliation – a lovely evening for families and staff alike. (pic) We obviously started Lent at the beginning of the month with Ash Wednesday (pics) and also had an online SCIAF assembly to kick it all off! (pics) We’ve all got our individual Lenten observances but as a class we have been trying to have a focus each week with ‘Do Without Wednesdays’ where we do without a snack and if possible put the money we have saved in the class Wee Box – fasting and almsgiving in a oner! (pic) Canon Eddie came in to do Stations of the Cross in the playground! That’s a first for us! This was especially for the Sacramental classes (P4 and P7) but our whole class got to go of course which was great. (pics) A big day for Shivansh during March as well, celebrating Holi. (pic)
A wee bit going on around being outdoors and PE. We did Beat the Street twice which was a terrific example of the contrast available within Glasgow’s weather! The pictures tell the story! (pics) We’ve been playing football in the MUGA on a Monday and netball in the Gym Hall on a Tuesday with some of the children taking a lead and coaching us all. (pics) We also had a taster Taekwondo session the other day which was great fun. (pics)
In other news, it was British STEM Week where we did some experiments in class (pics), someone in the class even came up with their own experiment for Mr Burns – ‘can you get the food colouring, vinegar and baking soda stain out of a white shirt?’
We also had a go at Micro:bit which we plan to do again. (pics) World Book Day was fun as always. (pics) We’re finished our Mandarin with Mrs Tao which certainly brightened up a Monday, fascinating to learn about Chinese culture and fun to experiment with a totally different language. Xiexie Mrs Tao. Our ‘Times Table Trail’ is coming to an end and the results for everyone are remarkable. Mr Burns is very happy with how it has all gone, us too if we’re being honest.
A wee snippet of what we’ve been up to, speak after Easter.
