*** School Trip to Summerlee 5/3/18 ***
Important information for parents of P6/7
We have organised a trip to Summerlee museum for our P6/7 pupils so that they can take part in a workshop related to their WWII topic. As you are aware the school was closed for three days due to the weather and as a result we were unable to hand out permission slips.
All of the children in P6/7c, along with all P6 children from P6/7a and four P7 children from P6/7a are due to take part in the workshop tomorrow (5/3/18).
All of the children from P6/7b along with the other half of P6/7a are due to take part in the workshop on Friday (9/3/18). We are taking P6/7 to Summerlee on two separate dates as the workshop can accommodate a maximum of 33 children at a time.
As we haven’t had the chance to hand out permission slips before tomorrow, Mrs Dillon will send a text to parents first thing tomorow morning and we will use the general permission slips filled in at the start of the year. If you child is going on the trip tomorow it would be helpful if they could bring a packed lunch. The children are due to leave after interval and will return before 3 pm. If you do not wish you child to take part in the visit to Summerlee tomorow please contact the school tomorow morning.
Thanks,
Miss Gallagher

Primary 6/7a Reflective Friday
Primary 6/7a are really enjoying being back at school after the Christmas holidays. Last week was a little crazy with all of the snow but we made the most of the situation and are back to normal this week.
This term we are very lucky to be joined by Mr Stewart who will be working with our class for the next 6 weeks. We can’t wait for all the learning he has planned. We have started out new topic World War 2, which so far we are all really enjoying and can’t wait to learn more.
In literacy we have all started a new novel, we are also reading Goodnight Mister Tom in class to help us with our topic. For Maths we have started multiplication, we need to make sure we practise our times tables as often as possible so we can complete our tasks well.
That’s all from us in Primary 6/7a, look out for some photos of us enjoying our class work.
Sportshall Athletics competition
On Friday, 26 of our upper school pupils took part in the Bellshill/Motherwell Sportshall Athletics competition. They took part in a range of field and track events, including the triple jump, vertical jump, javelin and various races. The children put in 100% effort to every challenge they participated in and we were absolutely delighted when we were announced as the overall winners! Not only were the children awarded 1st place overall, they were also one of three schools given a good sportsmanship award. Well done team- we are so proud of you all! 1st place in the Bellshill/Motherwell cluster now means that Holy Family will participate in the final in January. Wish us luck!
