Primary seven have just had there school prom. If you dont know what prom is it is a party for those who are leaving school and going into high school. Before they leave the school for good there will be aleaving mass to wish them good luck in studying.

Sadly one of are teachers Mr Lyons is Retiring we will miss him dearly and hope he enjoys his retirement. Mr Lyons has been teaching for a long time and is one of the best will miss him. We are all sad to see him go but we will hopefully get a new teacher in our school.

Primary 6 A and B where building dens at the woods so they could fit all of they’re members in the den, and also to complete the first part of the John Muir Award.

Primary 6a and b were at the woods today even when it was heavy rain.. awesome! They where very sensible while crossing the roads and  listened to everything that the teachers said according to Mrs Graham. Mr McMahon told us to plan and build our Den Designs. We completed this and managed to get back to school safely and in time for our playtime. We learned that team work  makes a job a lot easier.  Next week we will be making and hanging bird feeders from trees conserving our woodland environment. Job Done!

Our P7’s this year have been tasked with taking charge of the gathering the voices exhibit which normally doesn’t come to primary schools.

This exhibition is all about preserving the story’s of survivors of the Holocaust and World War II. We hope you are able to attend and wish the P7’s good luck  who have been preparing very hard and delivering tours of excellent quality. Mr McMahon said, “I am extremely impressed by the depth of knowledge and personal understanding the tour guides from Primary 7’s have shown to P6. All my children left this event deeply moved and greatly informed about the desperate struggle many people experienced during the Second world War. On behalf of P6 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!”

On the Seventh of May our p7 pupils went to Mount Vernon park once more to compete in another Rugby Festival it was a bright and warm day which was the perfect weather.

Mount Vernon primary  were there on the day to compete. First the boys and the girls were split in to groups then were split further in to three different groups of boys from our school and the same for the girls. Then it was one of the groups from or school against one from Mount Vernon the festival went on for about an hour and during that time we all enjoyed a great few games of rugby.

“I found the rugby really good and fun”-said Martin McLean” I really thought it was good that we could play against another school”
