Information about the National Gathering Event on the 21st September 2019:

This event is the only national event for parents with children in Catholic schools and aims to support them as the first educators of their children.  The day will include activities for children, so that child care is not an obstacle to attending.  We hope that the programme will be of interest to all families and will help strengthen the link between Catholic homes, the parish and their schools.

National Gathering for parents with children in Catholic Schools.  Saturday 21^st September 2019, 9.30-3pm, St Francis Xavier primary school – Falkirk.  Separate programme for children.  Lunch will be provided.  Places are free but need to be booked by phoning 0141 556 4727.

As a way of consolidating our learning of grammar rules in P5, we participated in a literacy challenge called ‘Escape the Classroom’.

Inspired by ‘Escape Rooms’ in Glasgow, we worked in a small groups to solve 10 Literacy problems. Each problem was a clue to a digit to the “door lock”.

With the aim to find the 10 digit code in the fastest time, we worked well collaboratively to apply what we have learned to answer challenging questions.

Congratulations to our winning team who ‘escaped the classroom’ in 31 minutes and 22 seconds 👏🏼🔑🚪
