Primary 7 worked with Tree of Knowledge last week to prepare them for going to High School shortly. The children were able to discuss some of their worries and came up with strategies to help cope with the next steps.
Rag Bag Reminder – Collection 6th June
Our Eco committee recently issued all children with a bag for the Rag Bag Appeal. We are continuing to raise awareness of textile recycling within our school community.
We are hoping you will all have a clear out and help us collect unwanted wearable clothing, paired shoes, handbags and belts which will be exported to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. We cannot accept uniforms, workwear or household items such as bedding, towels etc.
Any suitable donations, no matter how small should be placed in the bag and be dropped off at the school before 6th June please.
Thank you in advance for supporting this event. Should you require additional bags please contact Mrs Drummond or the office.

STEM visit from St Ambrose for P6/7
Primary 6/7 had some visitors from St Ambrose as part of our transition work who taught us how to carry out some science experiments. Fantastic knowledge illustrated and as you can see from the pictures we have some future scientists on our hands.
Generation Science Workshop – P6 & 7
P6 and 7 were visited by Generation Science yesterday and enjoyed a fun filled highly interactive show. We learned all about how sound is created, the need for a medium for sound waves to pass thorough and we even acted as a sound wave being transmitted through particles to the ear! We discovered that pitch is how high or low a note is and that this depends on the speed of vibrations. Thanks to Generation Science for such an informative fun show!
First Holy Communion Pics
Congratulations to Primary 4 who celebrated the sacrament of First Holy Communion on Sunday at St Augustine’s parish. We hope you all had a lovely day.
