The boys and girls have been highly creative and put their design and technology skills to great use as they constructed their own castles using a variety of containers and objects. They put their knowledge of 3D shape to could use whilst also reusing and recycling. Great team work boys and girls!!

Room 12 Amazing Authors

They have been engaged in the creation of their own novels and have written a variety of genres from Sci-fi, Spy and Rainforest Adventures. This week they were involved in illustrating their book covers, producing a blurb and editing and redrafting their stories through collaboration with others. Looking forward to the scheduled activities for the rest of the week.

Room 10 Vikings!!
The boys and girls of Room 10 have been very busy this term learning all about the Vikings. Their homework project set a challenge that involved designing and creating a model Viking longship. As you can see they took up the challenge and were desperate to share their work with the pupils of Room 12. Great work boys and girls!!
Confirmation
Many thanks to one of our parents, Mrs.Robb, who captured this lovely moment at the end of the Confirmation service on Thursday evening. It was a very impromptu moment but illustrates the joy everyone was feeling after such a beautiful service.
Primary 1 Amazing Authors
Primary 1 have been very busy in class working with their Pr.7 buddies to write and illustrate our own books. They made a plan for their story with their buddy and designed their own front cover, then they got to work writing their own stories. They will soon be finished and ready to share with friends, family and visitors. As part of Literacy Fortnight the class also had some visitors who came along to read their favourite stories. This included Mrs.Redmond, Mrs.Connolly and Mrs. Rankin. In class Pr.1 have had lots of opportunity to listen to stories and will be logging onto Live Literature to hear some well known authors talk about their books. The boys and girls are looking forward to World Book Day and their pyjama themed readathon and to the Literacy Assembly on Friday when they can dress up as a character from fiction. Their big evidence books will have a record of all that they have been involved with to celebrate the world of books.

The Week Ahead
This week is an extremely busy week for everyone as all classes are involved in creating their own books for our Literacy Week. There is a programme of activities across the school throughout the week to celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March. All classes will be involved in reading for enjoyment and will also view Live Literature Broadcasts by Michael Morpurgo, David Walliams, Julia Donaldson and many more. We are hopeful it will inspire more of our children to read for enjoyment. This week is also the start of Fairtrade Fortnight and our Global Citizens have organised a Fairtrade shop to be run throughout the fortnight. This will compliment the work taking place in all classes to learn about Fairtrade. Our Lenten Charity work continues with a pyjama themed readathon and movie afternoon taking place on Thursday.

They informed the children of the events that will be taking place over the next few weeks and introduced some representatives of the Global Citizens Committee who informed everyone about Fairtrade Fortnight. Our Fairtrade shop will be set up next week with lots of interesting items, all at a good price. Our Confirmandi pupils sang for the school and our Pr. 1- 3 pupils sang their Lenten Song.
