We have had a lovely two weeks since returning after Easter. The children are all glowing following their lovely sunny break.
We are delighted to welcome Miss Archer a student from Strathclyde University who will be with us in Primary 4/5 until the end of May.
This term we are looking at all things Scottish, the children will be studying tourism in Scotland and considering why this is a wonderful country to visit.
Primary Four pupils have been preparing for their First Holy Communion this week and in the midst of all of this even had time to prepare a fantastic assembly for everyone. We were all in stitches!!! Well done Primary Four and congratulations to Miss Jones who is definitely getting the very best out of everyone.
Primary One this week have been very busy preparing to welcome the new entrants. Our first induction day is this Tuesday coming and Primary One will be telling everyone what it is like to be in school in Primary One – they have a wonderful story to tell
Pupils in Primary Six and seven were working with Childline this week to raise awareness of the work that they do and to support emotional health and wellbeing outcomes.
Primary Seven have been involved in lots of transition activities with St. Aidan’s High School. Mrs Fagan visited our school this week with some S1 pupils who were able to give the class the experiences of high school throughout this year. They have a few more activities before they go for their induction days on 9th and 10th of June.
Primary Six pupils will also be visiting St. Aidan’s High School on Monday 11th May for a ‘Spanish Themed Day’. This will include music, Spanish lessons and conclude with Mass in St. Ignatius by the end of the day. Please remember a packed lunch is required.
If you are around the school you will notice that we have now planted our vegetable beds. To date we have planted a range of green vegetables and root vegetables, our final bed will be for berries and we hope to have this planted asap! We also have a small herb garden, so with all of this coming to fruition later in the year we are keeping our fingers crossed for a very big harvest!
Lots of soup recipes wanted for August!!!
A huge thank you to Mr Todd and Mr McCauley for their very hard work in helping us to get this up and running.
