Pupils in P2 have been extremely busy writing their own books for Literacy Week.  Our little budding authors were helped by their P7 buddies who edited their stories and helped them spell some tricky words.  Lots of encouragement was given to get all their ideas down on paper.  Next step publishing! We can’t wait to read them!

P7 children went to visit P5 today to hear all about the Brown Trout the children have been studying in their classroom. It was wonderful of P5 to share their learning so successfully. Their knowledge was superb.  Thank you for letting us visit and for answering all of our questions boys and girls.

Some of our P7 children were processing savings for the credit union today.   Please remember collection is every Friday for anyone who has opened an account. If you are interested in opening an account please ask Mrs Drummond for an application form.

The boys and girls of Primary 6 and 7 have been working hard in preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation that takes place on Monday 26th February at St Augustine’s Church.  We would like to thank Father Kane for all his support in preparation for this important event.

Confirmandi children were issued with a letter today from Father Kane to confirm arrangements for Monday.  We would ask children be seated by 6.30pm for the service which is due to  commence at 7pm.  Sponsors should make themselves known to staff and will be directed to their reserved seating.

Seating will be reserved for candidates and their sponsors only.  Parents and other family members are asked to choose seating outwith the reserved areas.

Children are asked to wear full school uniform on the night and refrain from wearing cardigans or jumpers and should remove their jackets.  Please ensure everyone wears white school shirt and tie.

At the appropriate time during mass each sponsor should place his/her right hand on the candidates right shoulder.

Thank you very much for your support in preparing your child for this event.

The first floor was a hive of activity this afternoon as the children carried out a science expiriment to see what would happen when water, oil, food colouring and effervescent tablets are mixed together.  We made predictions and evaluated the results.

During this activity we learned that water and oil do not mix because of something called intermolecular polarity.  Some fantastic cooperative learning on display. Here are some pictures to share our learning.
