Leave a comment

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 6/7B Reflective Friday

Leave a comment

Welcome to our class Reflective Friday post.

In Maths, we have been learning about division and remainders in division sums. We have been dividing 4 and 5 digit numbers by 1 digit and we have also learned that remainders are extra numbers to any sum.

Earlier in the week we have also been doing multiplication In preparation for division.

In Literacy, we have been writing diary entries about our topic, WWII. We also have wrote evacuee letters pretending we were the children writing back to our Mothers in London. We have been reading more about our novels The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and Goodnight Mister Tom.

In RE, We have been learning about the season of Lent and how is it special to us in this time. We also been learning the Seven Sacraments.

In Topic, we have been studying the Blitz and the Clydebank Blitz. As we said we wrote about evacuees and Diary entries. In addition to this, we have been learning about Blackouts and Rationing.

In P.E, we have been working Cardinal Newman High school on Wednesdays, and practising for Athletics, Rugby and Netball for the Commonwealth Games. We have also been doing Gymnastics on our own.

For Art, we have been painting propaganda posters and what they were used for. They look beautiful.

 

We have also been featured in Mossend Primary’s music video against Sectarianism, working with Nil By Mouth to create it.

We are very excited for next month and what we will learn!

Sportshall Athletics competition

34 Comments

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!
