Primary 4
When we came back after the summer holidays we enjoyed seeing our friends and we made our own postcards with a recount of our summer. We have started reading The Magic Carpet Slippers by Dick King-Smith. We have read the first five chapters and we are really enjoying the story so far. We made our own book marks this week and even got them laminated. These will help us to keep our place when reading. In Maths we have been focusing on place value and addition. We are learning lots of different strategies.
Our topic for this term is The Rainforest. We have chatted about that we already know about the Rainforest and planned everything that we would like to learn in the next few weeks. We are excited about learning about all the different animals that live in the Rainforest!We have also been learning about the life cycle of plants and talking about how they grow.
We enjoyed using chalk pastels last week during our Art lesson. We explored blending various colours of pastels to colour the petals on the flowers that we drew.
In P.E. we have been focusing on ball skills and we have enjoyed playing some different games. We really liked playing dodgeball!
Mrs Le Blond and two of our P7 pupils were fortunate enough to attend Mass on Friday to welcome the relics of St Therese of Lisieux.

Primary 6/7b May 2019
May has been another very busy month for 6/7b.
Health week was jam packed with activities . We kept very active, and made ourselves some sandwiches which we had at our whole school picnic. We took part in the Big Clean Up which saw us all clear up our local area. We were really shocked at the amount of glass in the park.
P7s have had their two day visit followed by the Smoothie Challenge from the maths department.
We had a great night at Hampden Park when we went to see Scotland V Jamaica. A 3-2 win for Scotland’s ladies before they head to the World Cup in France. Go Scotland!
In class we have been learning about negative numbers and doing some algebra. We also did some persuasive writing with Mrs Henry when we were learning more about alcohol and smoking. We had a class debate on the use of these substances.
Many of our pupils have been working hard in Jungle book show practice and we have been producing some great Jungle Book art.
P7s investigated the properties of substances with Cardinal Newman High School
P6s met their Buddies who are due to start school in August, they had great fun with them.
Primary 5/6 April / May 2019 Post
As we were off for a lot of April due to our Easter holidays we have made a joint post to share our experiences during the months of April and May as part of our Reflective Friday.
H Factor was enormous fun and gave us a great opportunity to showcase our talents and develop our confidence in performing in front of an audience. There was lots of audience participation as you can see during this performance of Tsunami !
We had great fun making sandwiches using the cress we had grown in class as part of our work about food miles. It also linked well to our health week activities and our Global Picnic ( although it was indoors because of the heavy rain !!!!)
In literacy we have been studying Saving Finnegan and learning about writing for a younger audience. We wrote our stories for P1/2a and then went downstairs to pay them an author visit and read our work aloud to them.
In numeracy we have completed our work on fractions. We have been learning a lot about money through using coins effectively as well as calculating cost and change.
In Spanish we have been learning outdoors and testing our knowledge through a variety of active games. In this photo we are playing the line up game based on our knowledge of the weather.
One person calls the weather type in Spanish and the two contestants race to touch it first.
Preparations for the Jungle Book are going well and many members of our class have been practising with microphones and music. They are really working hard and learning when they come on and off stage as well as memorising all their lines. All of them are staying behind after school a lot. We hope it will be a great success when it takes place in St Gerard’s Primary on the 18th and 19th June. Tickets are now on sale at £4 each.
During health week we had a bouncy inflatable assault course which was great fun but really hard to climb. It was a really busy week with golf, healthy cooking and other different activities. We ended the week with Sports Day which was a bit different as we had to hold it indoors as the weather was terrible. It was still great fun though and we have the P7 sports championship race still to run on the first dry day.
Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company have been coming in to work with us as part of Developing The Young Workforce. They are explaining how many jobs are involved in the creation of a product and the challenges of getting your product just right. It has been great fun so far as you can see.
