P1 November Reflection
P1 have had a wonderful November. We have been busy visiting different places and learning lots of new things. We visited our local library and also made a trip to the cinema in Braehead.
As part of our topic work on people who help us, we had a visit from Kyle’s dad who works as a policeman. We learned all about the Police, how to keep safe and even got to see the inside of a Police van! From all in P1 and P1/2, we would like to say a huge thank you to PC Bailey.
We have also been learning about doctors and nurses and have transformed our play area into a doctors surgery. Â We have had great fun with this and have learned all about how to stay healthy.
Primary 3
Primary 3 have been very busy this month and have been doing very exciting things.
We have been on some visits to our local library where we get a story and can even take books home with us. We also had a wonderful visit to Cineworld at Silverburn to see Fantastic Mr Fox.
As part of Book Week Scotland we enjoyed having the pupils of Mossend Primary read to us in the dinner hall.We even created our own imaginative story based on The Magic Pebble.
Miss Gorman has been in our class working with us. We have been learning more about 2D and 3D shapes, subtraction and fractions. In art we have all become illuststrators which has been so much fun.

P4/5’s November Reflective Friday Entry
In November, P4/5 did lots of exciting things.
We had a teacher called Miss Grant who was really nice and kind. She came to help Mrs Daisley and Mrs Cooney
We went to the cinema to see Fantastic Mr Fox and it was really exciting. We wrote a recount all about our trip to Cineworld at Silverburn and it was all thanks to Miss McGuire who got us the tickets! Thanks Miss McGuire!
We learned about money and we used real money on Poppy Day! We organised it together with Miss Gallagher and P5/6 and we raised lots of money while having a great time! We enjoyed learning all about Remembrance Day, that it’s been a hundred years since World War 1 ended at 11 o’clock on the 11th day of the 11th month. We also learned that poppies grew in Flanders Field when there was a break in fighting. We found out about the conditions of the soldiers who had to sleep in the trenches in places called dugouts. We learned that they got hardly any sleep, very little food and they were surrounded by barbed wire and sewage. As a result of these conditions, they developed trench foot which is when their toes fell off. Yuck!
Mrs Paterson from Mossend Primary came to read us a story called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She’s the head teacher there so we were extremely lucky that she picked our class to read to.
We made firework safety posters and learned that you should never wear gloves while holding a sparkler.
We got a new pupil in our class called Josh. Hi Josh!
We learned all about how to write instructions for things we have made such as poppies and Christmas decorations.
November Reflective Friday P6/7b: St.Andrew’s Day
As part of book week Scotland we enjoyed choosing books to read to our friends in Mossend Primary. We had fun deciding whether we could live without music or video games and we wrote a piece of discursive writing to give our views.
We have been working extremely hard on our enterprise projects with Entrepreneur Me. Matt took a lot of persuading to give us our loans to get started.
Our P7s enjoyed a very busy week in Kilbowie making memories which will last forever and learning lots of new skills. Over half of our class were involved in the local heat of the schools Athletics championships at Ravenscraig recently. Our school team finished in first place.
Some of our pupils travelled to St. Gerard’s Primary for netball. Well done St. Gerard’s and thank you for the hospitality.
In R.E we have created posters of Scottish Saints, this has helped us to understand why CNHS has chosen these house names .
We are all looking forward to the Christmas Fayre on Sunday 2nd December. Please come along and buy our Ch
ristmas calendars and our key rings.

Primary 6/7a November update
November was a very busy month for primary 6/7a, our Primary 7’s spent a week away in Kilbowie with Miss McGuire and the Primary 6’s stayed here with Mrs Leblond and Miss Gallagher. The primary 7’s had a great time and enjoyed all the activities that we took part in, coasteering and gorge walking were our favourites. Primary 6’s did a lot of learning while we were away, they designed their own children’s hotel and learned about remembrance day too.
In literacy, we all started new novels. We are using 2 Cathy McPhail books, Mosi’s War and Tribes, we are really enjoying them so far and can’t wait to keep reading. In Maths, we have been doing written and mental addition and subtraction. We are getting much better at this but need lots of practise. We have loved learning about schools in the Victorian era, we were really surprised about the punishments they used to receive and are very grateful that they are no longer used in schools.
We have also been very busy working on businesses for Entrepreneur me. We enjoyed thinking about what we could sell and creating our business plans. We are ready to start making our products and can’t wait to sell them during the nativity shows in a few weeks.
We are looking forward to the month of December and all the Christmas activities that we have coming up.
P5/6 November Reflections
This has been a month of a lot of change for our class. We felt sad to see Miss M Gallagher leave us to go and work in Mossend Primary. We wrote letters to her and got a lovely letter back. We miss her and hope to meet her on the Daily Mile in the park.
We were very busy with Poppy Day and had great fun doing face painting, decorating cakes and playing pin the poppy. We raised a lot of money for Poppy Scotland.
We went to see Fantastic Mr Fox at Silverburn Cineworld which is a film based on a book by Roald Dahl. It was a great experience to compare the book and film version.
Bryce from our class represented Holy Family Primary along with P6 and P7 pupils from other classes and we came first !!!
We won medals and trophies and Mrs Wilson went on twitter to say she was very proud of us for giving up our lunchtimes to practise so hard. We feel sad that the two cross country heats have had to be cancelled due to the weather.
We are continuing to learn to read music in P Buzz and have nearly mastered Jingle Bells. In numeracy we are practising our tables using triangle numbers and Mrs Wilson is going to teach us tables tennis today !
In literacy we have focusing on poetry and relating it to Storm Diana.
In ICT we learned about coding and made our own dance based on this.
Please look at twitter to see the clips of us putting our learning into practice.
It has been lovely to have Mrs Gardner back and we are looking forward to working with her this year.
P1 October
October has been a very busy month for primary 1!
At the start of the month we turned our play corner into a supermarket and enjoyed writing shopping lists and using money to buy different types of foods.
Then, at the end of the month we turned it in to a Halloween fancy dress shop! Look at our cool costumes!
As part of our topic work on people who help us, we interviewed Mr Crielly about his role as school janitor.
We also did lots of exciting work on the topic of Halloween and we really enjoyed the Halloween disco.
