Many congratulations to those pupils who celebrated their First Communion last night. It really was a beautiful Mass. Please keep in your prayers the following Primary 5 pupils who will receive their First Holy Communion in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral this evening:

Emily McIlvanney

Michael McGinnis

Jared Lafferty

Julia Lis

Nina McCarthy

Molly McCarthy

Jacob McKean

Emma O’Hara

Kornelia Mirek

Please remember that tomorrow is an inservice day and that Friday and Monday are holidays. I hope everyone has a lovely long weekend… see you on Tuesday.

Primary 6/7 worked on answering word problems using their place value skills.

After that we looked at items to include in our Agents of Rights Tool kit.

We thought about what each item could represent and how we can use them to show people how they help us remember our rights.

Many congratulations to all twenty-two pupils who made it onto this week’s Good Work Wall. As you can see from the photograph above, each and every one of them were worthy winners of a sticker and two House tokens. Well done, everyone!

Our first group of Primary 5 pupils will receive their First Holy Communion in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral this evening. Please can I ask our whole school community to keep the following boys and girls in your prayers throughout today:

Emma

Miley

Leo B

Sophie

Ava

Olivia

As mentioned in one of last week’s blog posts, we are in the process of exploring a manageable and sustainable way of setting homework for Cathedral pupils and providing them with prompt feedback on their work. Although all classes are now set up on GLOW and Microsoft Teams, a number of classes will be piloting a programme called ‘Seesaw’ over the next week or so to see if this provides a more effective system for providing online learning and helping pupils and parents stay connected with the school. I’ll be in touch as soon as we know how the pilot has gone.

Please can I remind parents and carers that this coming Thursday is an inservice day and that Cathedral Primary will be closed on Friday 25th and Monday 28th for the September break.

Today Primary 6/7 were developing their maths skill by working on numbers up to 10,000,000 After that the boys and girls were writing a story based on the Cool Class Cup treat yesterday. They had to imagine the next part of the story but were only allowed to use 100 words.

The children worked in teams again during outdoor PE. They had to repeat and recognise a pattern using cones and organise their team to achieve success.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic it is impossible to have the usual Woodlands Meet the Teacher event. Instead I have made a short video telling you about some of the things we have been working in Primary 6/7B.

I hope you enjoy it.

At home children should try and read for at least 20 minutes each night. This will expose them to new vocabulary and new ideas. Furthermore logging on daily to Sumdog and playing the maths games will help them develop and apply their maths skills.

P6/7 enjoyed their cool class cup treat today.

Well done to YS, HM and AB on completing last weeks maths challenge. You three have earned an extra 200 Sumdog coins. Great effort and good accuracy. There is a now a new Sumdog challenge linked to our learning in class for you to try. Good luck!
