Legion of Mary pray the rosary with Primary 4

Three members of St Bernadette’s parish Legion of Mary visited Cathedral Primary on Thursday 6th March to pray the rosary with Primary 4 learners. The children meditated on the Mysteries of Light during their time of prayer:

  • The Baptism of the Lord
  • The Wedding at Cana
  • The Proclamation of the Kingdom
  • The Transfiguration
  • The Institution of the Eucharist

Our Primary 4 learners also heard about the long-standing tradition here at Cathedral of the Legion of Mary giving a small gift to each Primary 4 pupil in the month of May, when many of them receive their First Holy Communion.

Primary 4b join Cathedral GOMA

The latest artwork to appear in Cathedral GOMA (Gallery OMagnificent Art) online exhibition comes from Primary 4b.

Our Primary 4 learners’ beautiful hearts, made up of dozens of figures standing holding hands, were created using pencil and felt pen and gave our young artists the opportunity to explore perspective. Absolutely beautiful in their simplicity and attention to detail!

Keep watching this space for more masterpieces from Cathedral’s talented artists.

Cathedral begins Lenten journey

Cathedral school community gathered for Mass on Ash Wednesday, 5th March, to mark the beginning of Lent. Pupils and staff received their ashes, a sign of being sorry for the wrong things we do and of our commitment to grow closer to Jesus in the coming weeks.

Lent isn’t just about giving things up but, more importantly, doing something extra to deepen our faith and grow closer to God. To help us on our Lenten journey, Fr Lamb will celebrate Mass in the gym hall at 8.15am every Tuesday and Friday morning, beginning on Friday 7th March.

A warm welcome is extended to all pupils, parents, staff and parishioners.

Primary 3b join Cathedral GOMA

The latest artwork to appear in Cathedral GOMA (Gallery OMagnificent Art) online exhibition comes from Primary 3b.

Our Primary 3 learners’ characterful cats were inspired by the work of artist Laurel Burch and were created using pencil line and watercolours before being cut out and mounted on card. Truly fantastic felines!

Watch this space for more masterpieces from Cathedral’s talented artists.

Cathedral GOMA (Gallery Of Magnificent Art)

One of the daily pleasures of learning and working in Cathedral Primary School is being surrounded by beautiful artwork. Over the next few weeks, we want to share some of our talented learners’ masterpieces with newsfeed readers.

GOMA stands for the Gallery Of Modern Art, located in Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square. Cathedral’s online art exhibition is also called GOMA: Gallery Of Magnificent Art!

The first artwork to appear in our GOMA exhibition is from Primary 5b. Their striking space-themed art features galaxies created using a clever combination of chalk pastels and flecks of white paint. They’re out of this world!

Lenten almsgiving

As a Catholic school, Lenten almsgiving is an important part of the faith life of Cathedral Primary. However, we also recognise that there is a cost of living crisis and many families are struggling financially. Although we have planned our usual programme of fun activities to raise money for charity during Lent, no family should feel under any pressure whatsoever to make a donation each week. Please only give what you can.

This year’s programme of events, which we have planned and co-ordinated with our friends from Firpark and Clydeview, can be accessed via the link below:

Cathedral sees slight dip in attendance

Good attendance makes a HUGE difference to your child’s progress and attainment. Every school day really does count!

As March arrives, Cathedral’s overall pupil attendance has dropped very slightly from 94% to:

93.88% 

Although this is only a small dip (down 0.12%), it’s vital we get Cathedral’s overall attendance back up above 94%.

Many thanks to all parents and carers for your support in helping us maintain high pupil attendance across Cathedral school community. A helpful leaflet about attendance percentages can be accessed via the link below:

Primary 5 learners sample German food

These Primary 5 learners had the opportunity to sample a variety of German foods on Friday 28th February including bockwurst, wilstermarsch kase and mini kabanoss. To capture their learning, our learners recorded information on a grid including the appearance, smell, taste and texture of each item. What a tasty end to the week!
