Primary 2 took to the stage on Friday 14th March for their Learning Showcase, linked to Cathedral’s 150th anniversary. Our young learners travelled through time in Dr Who’s tardis, from 1875 to the present day.
Their first stop was the Victorian era, where the audience learned about Victorian schools and the different Acts of Parliament which helped improve the lives of children.
The audience then headed to 1939 and the outbreak of World War II. Thankfully, there was a train waiting to take evacuees off to the safety of the countryside.
The next stop was the swinging sixties, where the audience met the Beatles and heard an enthusiastic performance of the Yellow Submarine. Of course, they also witnessed Neil Armstrong landing on the moon!
The time machine then whisked the audience off to the 1990s, where they came face to face with GIRL POWER in the form of the Spice Girls!
There was a brief stop in 2020, at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, before the tardis finally landed in 2025 with reflections from the children on how fun learning is in modern-day Cathedral Primary.
Primary 2’s showcase ended with a rousing performance of ‘The Year 3000’, as our young learners looked ahead to another 150 years of Cathedral Primary.
Well done to the boys and girls for showcasing their learning in such a creative and engaging way and to teachers and support staff for all their hard work preparing the children for their special performance.
Please continue to pray for Pope Francis, as he remains in hospital:

We’ve all been there:
Cathedral’s Lenten almsgiving took on a Spanish twist on Friday 14th March, with learners and staff being invited to wear the colours of the Spanish
flag. There was also the opportunity to get some Spanish-themed face painting, which was very popular with learners across the school.
Cathedral nursery learners are enjoying accessing our Forest Schools area, just outside the school grounds. In this wonderful woodland environment,
the children have exciting opportunities to build problem-solving skills, confidence, independence and resilience as they are given freedom to test their limits in the natural world.
Fr Lamb celebrates Mass in the gym hall at 8.15am every Tuesday and Friday morning throughout Lent.

Eleven Cathedral athletes participated in the North Lanarkshire cross country finals at Wishaw Sports Centre on Wednesday 12th March. Our Primary 5 boys did exceptionally well, coming 1st in their category. What a phenomenal result!
Primary 3 learners celebrated their First Reconciliation in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral on Tuesday 11th March. It was a beautiful, prayerful liturgy and there was barely a dry eye in the church when the children sang their thanksgiving hymn, ‘I’m accepted, I’m forgiven’.
These two Primary 1 learners were very proud to share a ‘Milestone Moment’ in their maths jotter with Mr Young on Tuesday 11th March. Their
maths group have been learning to add two digit numbers over the past few weeks and have also been learning how to set out sums neatly and accurately in their maths jotter, including one number per square and always using a ruler when drawing lines.
