Our Primary 4 pupils had a fantastic time last week at the Active Schools Fun 4’s Football Festival at Newton Park!

This week, Primary 2/3 became Body Detectives as they explored a range of exciting learning stations focused on bones, organs, breathing and healthy lifestyles.

Their curiosity and enthusiasm were fantastic to see as they investigated how the human body works. To help guide our learning, the class has created a Wonder Wall where everyone can record questions and things they would like to find out. We are looking forward to exploring these ideas as we begin our new topic on the human body ...Celebrating the Month of the Holy Rosary 🙏
