And now for the Blog.

This week I thought you’d like a wee look at some of our Good Work which was presented to our school community at Monday morning assembly. You can see the work ranging from Primary One through to Primary Seven:

And here are the nominees for Pupil of the Week:

What a great start to the session for our successful nominees, well done.

This week we have also enjoyed a beautiful Mass led by our Primary Seven pupils. Well done to all involved, most particularly our readers & offertory procession:

Christopher Lyon & Katie McLaughlan

Stephen Lochrie & Darci O’Neill

Luke Gillespie, Alexander McKay, Mollie Jeffrey & Samantha McVey

Not forgetting our faithful servers:

Matthew Munro, Emma Maughan & Abbie Maughan

A special mention to all of our school pupils who, as always, were exemplary in their participation and their manners. A wonderful example to set for our newest Primary One pupils.

It was lovely to welcome the parishioners of our church, thank you for coming to join us.

Meanwhile down in the nursery…..

This week in nursery we have been concentrating on friendship, sharing, turntaking and listening. We have been learning lots of information that the children have provided about themselves. Please take a look on our ‘This is Me’ wall display as you enter the nursery to discover the fabulous facts the children have been sharing with the staff and their new friends. You will also find an array of self portraits throughout the playroom which the children have created with the use of a mirror.

Each group has worked out the tallest to the smallest in the group and have made coloured graphs of their findings which are displayed in the numeracy area.

The snack area has been busy as the children have been discussing their favourite foods and drawing them on paper plates. These have been turned into a giant plate on the big dinner table in the home corner.

The children have been listening to stories about caring and friendship. This will continue next week.

Out in the garden the weather was on our side and the children discovered a full family of slugs living there, they got up close and personal to them, watching them leave a trail of slime behind. They then drew pictures of the slugs, look out for these next week in the Science area.

The obstacle course has proved an excellent way to help new friends and wait in turn to have a go.
The first Forest Kindergarten block will start on 7/9/16. The children have been preparing all week for their trip to the forest.

And now in glorious technicolour.

Another fabulous week.

Thanks for reading.
