After weeks of preparation, many of our P6/7 children made the sacrament of Confirmation last week in Holy Family parish. The children were confirmed by Bishop Toal. This was a very special evening and the children were a credit to their families and school.
In Maths, we have been learning about Algebra in P6/7c. The children are becoming more confident in solving equations involving missing letters. They are also learning how to use information to make up and solve an equation. Also, the children have continued their topic on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages with Mrs Le Blond.
P7 finished reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. The children watched the film after completing the book and were able to compare the differences between book and film. P7 then started a new novel called The Thief Lord. As the book is set in Venice, P7 pupils have been carrying out some research on Venice to help them understand more about the setting. P6 are finishing their novel study on Goodnight Mr Tom. They are looking forward to watching the film and then starting a new novel.
Over the last few weeks the children have been taking turns at presenting their learning on WWII. Some chose to use Powerpoint and others decided to use Sway. The children carried out their research at home on a certain area that interested them e.g rationing, evacuation, the Holocaust.
Congratulations to P7 for coming 1st place in the Commonwealth Games event at Cardinal Newman High. They had been preparing for this event for a number of weeks during weekly P.E lessons and we are very proud of you all!
We now have a display of all the Steven Brown inspired art work the children have completed. After focusing on a few particular pieces of art, the children are now working on a Steven Brown piece of their own choice.
May is going to be an exciting month for P7 as the children are off to Kilbowie! P6 are also excited about meeting the new P1 children and finding out who their buddy will be!
