Mr Young and Mrs Duffy travelled to Lendrick Muir after school on 4th May to have dinner and spend part of the evening with the children. Both were delighted to see the children so happy and settled in the place they had called home for the week.
Mr Young and Mrs Duffy also got the chance to sample some of the delicious food the children had enjoyed during their stay. They’d certainly been well fed!
Mr Young would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the boys and girls on all their achievements at Lendrick Muir and to thank all of the adults who gave so generously of their time: Mrs McCoy, Mrs McLaughlan, Miss Cameron, Miss Degnan, Mrs Stevenson, Fr Stephen and Mr Feeney. So proud of you, Team Cathedral!
The final day of Lendrick Muir, Thursday 4th May, was another fun, action-packed day. The emphasis was very much on teamwork, with a range of activities which required the children to work together. One of the most impressive challenges was building a rocket which was launched into the air with the force of water and air. It goes without saying that Cathedral’s teamwork was second to none!
You’ve just got to chuckle at this amusing video from P7’s residential trip to Lendrick Muir:
Day Two of Primary 7’s trip to Lendrick Muir 
proved to be another fun and action-packed day. The ‘Bungee Run’ and ‘Demolition Inflatable’ were a huge hit (excuse the pun!) with children and staff alike.
Following a good night’s sleep, Primary 7 woke up on 3rd May to Day Two of their Lendrick Muir residential trip. After breakfast, the day got started with archery lessons, a brand new activity for most Cathedral pupils. The children improved with every shot and quite a few bullseyes were hit during the course of the morning!
On Tuesday 2nd May, Primary 7 rounded off their first day at Lendrick Muir around the campfire. Despite the children having already enjoyed a delicious dinner earlier in the evening, they still had room for the marshmallows they toasted.
Primary 7 arrived safe and sound at Lendrick 
Muir on Tuesday 2nd May for their four-day residential excursion. Activities were in full swing by the afternoon and included raft building for some of the groups. Thankfully, the children’s skills and teamwork ensured everything stayed afloat!
As part of their People who help us topic, Primary 1 pupils met members of the Scottish Fire Service on Friday 28th April. A fire engine visited the school grounds and the children had the opportunity to find out about the various pieces of fire-fighting equipment, sit inside the engine and even try out the hose!
Following their class topic last term on The Scottish Wars of Independence, Primary 5 pupils enjoyed a fascinating visit to Stirling Castle on 26th April. The children had a guided tour of the historic castle which included encounters with people dressed in medieval costume, providing lots of interesting facts. The children were also able to view Bannockburn, the sight of the famous 1314 battle, from the castle walls. What a great way for the children to reinforce the learning they did in school.
Wider Achievements are integral to the Cathedral Primary curriculum and there is a dedicated section for pupils to capture their achievements on their Rose Trainer Achievement Award record card.
