Well done to pupils in Primary Three and Four who are now enrolled for their sacraments in March and May. They were very well prepared for their Mass and their singing was absolutely beautiful. A big thank you to all of their teachers who gave up their own time to come along to the Mass too. It went beautifully – as ever!
Thank you to everyone who came along to our open morning. It was great to see so many parents having a wee look to see what the children were doing. The children, of course were delighted to show off their hard work!
Following a very snowy week we decided that we could give the children lots of outdoor learning using the snow! We made snowmen and measured them, we looked at how the snow melts and why salt makes such a difference. We looked at the shapes of the snowmen and compared their heights and Primary Seven even attempted to build an igloo!!! Much more work required on their initial design process.
Meanwhile indoors all children have been looking at electricity with Mrs McGeough. They have been making all sorts of circuits, Primary Seven investigated how they could make electrical energy using a lemon.
Primary Four have had their visit to the Science Centre and on Monday of next week their trout eggs will arrive. They are all prepared and looking forward to looking after these precious eggs. We are very hopeful that they will be able to release lots of trout into the River Clyde later on this term.
Alice in Wonderland preparations are well underway, Miss Lewis is choreographing all the dance moves so lots of work going on in preparation for the show.
This week coming is Financial Education Week – all of the activities the children will be doing especially in maths will be centred around money and how we use it. Part of the focus will be on credit/interest as we want to be able to give children an awareness of managing debt etc. The children have been asked to bring in coins from around the world. If you have any currency please allow your child to bring it in to share with us.
We are currently finalising our Interim Reports for issue next week. Please remember that Parent Interviews are a bit earlier this year because of our Kilbowie week and our school show. The date for your diary is 25th February. Letters will be issued on Monday re organising your appointment.
