Today our lovely Mini Vinnies visited Carfin Grotto alongside Mini Vinnies from other parishes. They had a lovely day celebrating their faith.

Primary 1 participated in lots of exciting activities this week. Here are some of our highlights.

Primary 1 celebrated Global Play Day by playing lots of maths games today. Here are some photos of their super activities.

Today the P7s supported their buddies while they played with the toys they brought to school. They all had fun.

Primary 1 received a letter from the three little pigs today asking them to help by retelling their story, and by rebuilding some of their treasures. They had so much fun working together on their challenges

.

We celebrated World Kindness Day in Holy Family today. This was led by our Mini Vinnies who spoke about it during our weekly assembly. Each class completed kindness activities and tried to engage in lots of acts of compassion.

At Friday’s Mass our Mini Vinnies participated in a Commissioning Ceremony where they were welcomed into the St. Vincent de Paul society. The Mini Vinnies are the youngest members of the SVP organisation who try to treat others as they would like to be treated.  During the ceremony, they made a pledge to embody the values of kindness and service.  Well done to them all.

Our amazing Mini Vinnies group has come up with a brilliant idea to help children in our school who might not have a warm jacket this winter. They are asking everyone to take part in a special Winter Jacket Appeal – ‘Warm Hearts, Warm Coats’.

Here’s how it works:

👀 See – Look at your jackets at home. Is there one you’ve outgrown?

💭 Think – Could someone else use it to stay warm this winter?

🤲 Do – Bring it into school and help make a difference!

If your child got a new jacket during the October holiday, maybe they could bring their old one to school on Friday 24 October. We’ll keep the jackets safe in school so they’re ready for anyone who needs one.

This is a lovely way to live out the Mini Vinnies motto: See, Think, Do — seeing people in need, thinking about how we can help, and doing something kind.

Thank you for being generous and thoughtful. Every jacket will help someone feel warmer and happier this winter.

With love and thanks,

The Mini Vinnies 💙

The boys and girls of Primary 1 were invited to have a special blessing at church today. God bless them as they grow and learn.

Today our primary 6 Missio Champions received a blessing from Bishop Toal as part of their commissioning ceremony. We are very proud of them all.
