What a busy time we have had in the past two weeks.
Our Primary Three pupils celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Tuesday of this week. They were very well prepared and their singing and responses was fantastic. Boys and girls everyone in school and in your house is really proud of you. Well done!
In Room 13 pupils have been very busy being extremely responsible in caring for our chicks! We now have ten chicks hatched safely and they are thriving. We have given them names of Disney characters so check out the website and have a look at Aladdin, Dorey, Lightning McQueen etc. All of the children in the school have been visiting room thirteen to get a wee glimpse of their progress. Remember you can keep up to date with our webcam too.
I am delighted to tell you that our choir won first place in our class at the Glasgow Music Festival. They all sang beautifully and we were very proud of their achievement. Well done boys and girls! We will have a music assembly in the final term so that everyone can come along and hear their super singing.
We highlighted the work of the Fairtrade movement in our whole school assembly last Monday with a talk from a member of the Fairtrade movement. Further to this some of our Senior pupils attended a meeting of the parish Justice and Peace group where they highlighted the work being done in school across all classes. The girls were very confident in their delivery and everyone who attended the meeting commended them on their work. Well done girls and a big thank you to Mrs McGeough for attending this meeting too.
Well done to all of the boys and girls who have been attending morning Mass. We have had a great turnout this week. Please encourage your child to attend this Mass if possible.
Pupils in Room 10 took their trout down to the River Calder last week and released them. They have been looking after them with Clyde in the Classroom project. We are delighted that they were so responsible.
Yesterday was ‘Onesie Day’ and we raised £500 for our Lenten Charities. Well done to everybody (including some staff!) who came to school in their ‘onesies’.
Next Wednesday we have our ‘Marathon Day’ coming up. We are asking for friends and family to sponsor the children to run a marathon in the yard. All money raised will go towards our Lenten Charity Appeal – please help your child if you can.
We also have four children attending the Library Quiz and Four children who have reached the final of ‘The Dragon’s Lair’. They will be presenting on their cereal bar ‘Oatally Scottish.’ We wish both teams very good luck!
