We have had a super Health Fortnight in school with lots of activities for everyone. Thank you to our parents who attended our Nutrition Workshop it was a great success and everyone commented that they found it very useful.
The children have all had great fun participating in a range of activities including tennis, judo, and Tai Chi. Thank you to all of our partner agencies who came along and offered their time to provide the children with such a range of activities.
Our School Sports day was a great success – well done to Iona house who have been declared champions for 2015!!! They are all delighted and earned extra points for their house total. Great excitement is also building to see which house will get the end of term treat.
Primary Seven have also participated this week in the Wear Yellow Walk for St. Andrew’s Hospice, they enjoyed all of the activities on offer in Strathclyde Park and completed their walk round in a good time. Thankfully it remained dry enough for them to have their lunch in the park. Please remind your child to bring in their sponsor money, we will be handing over cheques at our Leavers’ Mass on Friday 19th June and want to have a final total by then.
Primary 5/6 presented a wonderful assembly today on a ‘World of Books’. If you were lucky enough to be present I am sure you will have been very impressed by their signing of ‘Frozen’. It was very emotional, and they did so well to learn it in such a short time. Well done Room 12
This week coming our Primary Seven will be involved in their full transition programme in St. Aidan’s High. They will be attending Ravenscraig Sports Centre on Monday for the cluster sports event and will then spend Tuesday and Wednesday in their new classes following their timetables. I know they will do us proud.
Please remember that this Saturday is our Summer Fayre which has been organised by the Parent Council. A great deal of work has gone into organising the Fayre, please support their work. All money raised will benefit all children within the school. There are many fun activities on offer – come along and have a great day. We are hoping for dry weather!!!!
If you are about the school please look out for our new outdoor gym. Miss Lewis successfully bid for Lottery Funding to buy equipment for an outdoor gym. We now have several very sturdy keep fit pieces of equipment for the children to use during playtime and we will also be using these for outdoor learning. A huge thanks to Miss Lewis for securing our grant. I can see that we will be using this equipment for many years to come.
