Welcome to primary three with Miss Verrecchia. We all have been working very hard so far to learn our new classroom routines. Our new topic this term is knights and castles which we are all very excited about. We are all looking forward to reading time because we have a wonderful new reading tent in our classroom. We are looking forward to updating you with our primary three adventures.
Love primary 3
Welcome
Mrs Stevenson and I along with P2, welcome our new P1’s to their new classroom and school. We are all so impressed at what you have learned P1, in such a short time.
With P2 you have really focussed and worked hard to learn new classroom routines. Finding out where your desks are , how to register and choose your lunches, where to put snacks and belongings as well as finding trays and where to hang coats and bags etc.
P2 we are so proud at how much support and help you have given to your new classmates before their special buddies arrived from P7.

After all the hard work on the children’s first day at school they looked forward to ‘Showing and Telling’ parents/carers about all the new learning experiences they had with P2.

Our P7 pupils have been doing a great job, helping their P1 buddies to settle into Holy Family.
We are delighted to be getting back into our routine here at Holy Family Primary and have enjoyed welcoming our new primary one pupils who seem to be settling in well.
This Friday will be our first Reflective Friday of the new session so you can look forward to seeing what each class has been learning in the first weeks of term. when they post their monthly update here on the website.
We will have our first merit assembly on Friday to celebrate learner achievement in August and our foodbank collection will be on that day also.
Learning journeys will be sent out on our

After welcoming our new class of superheroes on Thursday, we introduced the first topic of this session: life cycles with a focus on butterflies! Our Holy Family Caterpillars are on their way to P4/5 and Mrs. Cooney can give you a sneak peak at what’s to come!
P7 had a fun night at their Hollywood themed party on Monday night! Here are just a few photos from the night…
Here are just a few photographs from Kilbowie! Primary 7 had a fantastic time taking on lots of new challenges. Some of the highlights were gorge walking, canoeing and skiing. We are so proud of each and every one of the children – you are all a credit to Holy Family!

Maths and Time
P2 really enjoyed learning about Time with Mr Stewart this month. They worked outdoors, indoors, using stop watches, clocks and lots of different resources to measure time and how long it takes to do lots of different things we take for granted.
The Month of May, Our Lady and First Friday Mass
The children worked hard to prepare for their Our Lady of Fatima First Friday Mass in May. They were very focussed and prayerful. Mrs Stevenson and I are very proud of them and what they have achieved .
The children also learned, that May us a very special month dedicated to Our Lady. They learned about the Hail Mary prayer, how this prayer is an important part of the Rosary, and we continued to learn how to pray this together.
Interdisciplinary Learning, – Indoors/Outdoor , Tesco and Farm to Fork
As Part of our Farm to Fork Topic, we had the opportunity to Visit Tesco to learn about where our food comes from before it reaches our plates. Mr Stuart also arranged for us to have a follow up visit to the class to enable us to learn more about our Topic and we had a terrific learning experience.

Health and Wellbeing and Health Week
P.E, Outdoors and School Sports Day
As well as many other learning experiences, P2 were excited about preparing for sports day and really enjoyed this preparation time in the fantastic sunshine we have been having. They also enjoyed and participated as true sportsmen in their school sports day last week, as they worked very hard and celebrated each others success as well. So proud of you all P2, well done.

Whole School Picnic, Physical and Mental Health
After our fantastic sports day we looked forward to a ‘whole school picnic’ together. We got to sit with all our friends from different classes and brought our special blankets to sit on and we also made all our own sandwiches/wraps. P2 made corn wraps with salad chicken and healthy fillings. Some of us hadn’t tried some of the fillings before, e.g. spinach leaves, and different coloured peppers, but everyone had a go at making them and tasting them too. We all had a successful, memorable picnic and had lots of fun with our friends, eating, laughing and sharing together. (Pics to follow)
You have worked very hard this month P2 and learned so much during the health week activities. Fantastic work and so proud of you all. Well done.
