This year our Pr. 7 pupils took part in the Rotary Club’s Young Writer of the Year Award. One of our very talented pupils won this prestigious title and brought a great deal of success to the school. She is an accomplished writer and aims to embark upon a literary career in the future. She won a beautiful crystal bowl and a framed award alongside a cash prize for herself and one for the school. Most importantly of all she got to read her wonderful story to the school and has surely inspired others to write. Quite an achievement and a great talent of which we are immensely proud!! Our loss will be St.Ambrose gain when she moves to the High School in August.
Parish Jubilee Mass
Some of our school choir agreed to come along to the Jubilee Service on Sunday and sing the Post Communion Hymn. Father Kane was delighted to see them and to have them take part in the service lead by Bishop Toal. Well done girls you did a wonderful job of representing the school. Many thanks to Mrs.Murray for running our school choir, they are doing wonderful work!
Sunflower Tea
Many thanks to all the parents and grandparents who joined us for the Sunflower Tea in aid of St.Andrew’s Hospice. Your generosity was most appreciated and raised £160. A huge thanks to the teachers and pupils of Pr. 1 – 3 who entertained everyone with a selection of songs t get everyone in the mood for Summer. The only thing we lacked on Friday was the elusive summer sun!

Spud has Lunch
On Wednesday we had an extra addition to our school dinner hall, Room 3 brought along their class pet, Spud. He had some water and doggy biscuits and enjoyed dining with his classmates! He then went back to class and had a long nap in the afternoon!
Mock Election
Our Primary 6 pupils undertook a mock election prior to the real deal on Thursday. The children took the work very seriously organising themselves into political parties and writing their own manifestos. They even had their own polling station. Learning in real life contexts indeed!! I wonder if the next Minister for Scotland was in among the parties represented!
Gaelic Football Finals
Our Pr.6 and 7 Gaelic Football teams represented the school at the Gaelic Football Finals this morning. Thankfully we had sunshine today! Mrs.Drummond returned to school with a group of highly elated pupils who reported they had won both the girls and boys finals. Mrs.Drummond also reported that she had thoroughly enjoyed her morning and felt extremely proud of our high achievers. Fantastic work boys and girls!! We are all so proud of you!!!
Gaelic Football News
Mrs. Drummond escorted a group of our fabulous Pr. 6 and 7 boys to the first of the Gaelic Football finals taking place this week. She has now become an avid fan of the sport and could not praise the boys highly enough for their great sportsmanship!! High praise indeed! The team picture is after the event as they were so wet and apparently their wee lips were looking a bit blue. Scottish summertime!!
Netball Party
Our dedicated netballers enjoyed a party with Mrs. Elliott to celebrate the end of another successful competitive year. Our netball team has went for strength to strength this year thanks to Mrs.Elliott. We say goodbye to our Pr.7 stars but are confident the Pr. 6 team are ready to take on the challenge for next session.
