Good morning boys and girls!! It’s almost the summer holidays! You have been a brilliant Primary One class. We remember your first day at school and you have grown and learned so much this year. Not the year we had imagined but you have done so well. We hope you have a very happy summer holiday and look forward to seeing all of your lovely faces when you return to school in August. We hope you have lots of fun and adventures over the summer.
Good morning boys and girls!
Let’s start our day by saying our morning prayer together as a class one more time before we finish up.
God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us use properly, the many gifts you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together. St Barbara – Pray for us.
As it’s the last day of school there’s no work! Woohoo! I just wanted to wish you well and hope you all have a lovely summer holiday. I know today was not how we had planned to have your last day but remember things will be back to normal soon. So please have fun today and I can’t wait to see you all when we start back in August.
Miss you all!

Good morning Primary 6,
Today is the last day of school before the summer break.
It’s probably not how we were expecting the last day to look at the start of the year.
I just wanted to wish you well and hope you all have a lovely summer holiday. I know this year has been very different from any that have come before it, but the best bit of every day is doing something you haven’t done before, so take the summer and do something you haven’t done before.
It’s time to
Learn a new skill,
Play a new instrument,
Dance a new dance,
Sing a new song,
Taste a new taste,
Smell a new smell (not that kind of smell),
and come back in August with a story to tell.
You’re Primary 7 now, you really need to be cool,
If you ever hope to rule the school.
Your buddies will be waiting,
They’re looking for a clue.
Something to help them on their way,
That something could be you.
So good luck you little somethings,
There’s nothing left to say.
Just a million things for you to do
In every summer’s day.
Mr. McIntosh
Well boys and girls, I can’t quite believe it is your final day of Primary 2!! 🥳
It feels like only yesterday we began our journey together and now it is time to say ‘see you later’.
My first little class, I will never forget. It was cut short, but I’m so glad we met!
How lucky I was to have such a wonderful year, it is one I will hold dear. ❤️
The last few months have been very strange,
You have coped tremendously with the change!
Learning at home day-to-day,
But summertime is here they say.☀️
Home schooling put everyone to the test,
but you all certainly tried your best!
You have missed your friends and they’ve missed you,
And you’ve got to admit, you missed the teachers too!
As the schools come to a close,
You are the class I will miss the most!
You’ve clapped for the NHS to support their work,
Now I applaud you for not going berserk!👏🏻
You are now a part of history,
You are helping defeat COVID-19, victory!
Of all the things I taught you, to last your whole life through,
I need you to remember, you are special just by being you!🌟
So goodbye and good luck in all that you do,
The world is your oyster, it’s true!
Have a super summer Primary 2!☀️
Sending you lots of cuddles and wishing you all the best in Primary 3 😊
Miss Shreenan 💛🌈
Good morning Superstars🌟
I can’t quite believe today is the last day of the school year, your final day in Primary 1. I have loved being your teacher, watching you grow and learn in your first year of primary school.
I know we are spending today a little bit differently to what I had planned and our time this year was cut short but we have had such an amazing time in those 7 months that we all got to spend together in class.
We have been on lots of learning adventures and you have continued to amaze me. I have loved singing and dancing with you and listening to all of your stories. We have had lots of laughs too. I have included a special video of your memories in Primary 1b at the bottom of this post. I hope you enjoy😀You are a very special bunch and I am so proud of you all🌟
Have an amazing summer! Good luck in P.2.
Take care and stay safe,
Miss McEleney🌈☀️❣️
It has been a pleasure being your teacher this year and although we didn’t get the full year together in school you all made a big impression!! I am so proud of all your hard work. It was lovely to watch each and every one of you grow in confidence and gel together into the lovely class of bright, smart, helpful and caring boys and girls you have all become – you are a credit to your families and to St Barbara’s.
I hope you have a lovely summer. If we all stick to the rules, it looks like we will all be back at school together again in August! Take care, stay safe and remember to be the best you can be!! Good luck for your new class, you’ll be amazing!!
I’ve attached a little memory to remind us of 2020!!

Lots of love
Mrs Boyce 😘🌈🌈
Well here we are boys and girls!!! It’s not the end to the school year we had imagined, but we have tried to make the best out a bad situation! First of all, I am so proud of you for working hard with your home schooling. I have loved logging on to see your pictures and videos! You have coped very well as have your parents! Thank you to you too mums and dads and older siblings!
I have had a lovely year with you and have enjoyed watching you all become great friends. You are a lovely bunch of children and it has been so nice to see you look out and care for one another! We have had some good fun especially when we performed in the Nativity and our Assembly.
So, today is the last day of term and there is no work! If you really want to do something, why not note down your favourite memory of P4/3 and send it to me? I’ll put them together and put them on here for you to see. I hope you stay safe and even though things still seem pretty uncertain, I will see your lovely smiling faces at school in August hopefully! Remember to be good and helpful around the house and look after each other.
God bless
Lots of love
Mrs Graham
Take care everyone & have a lovely summer.

Good morning everyone. It was lovely to see some of your wee faces visiting the Blessed Sacrament in the grounds of the Church on Sunday. I have attached a link for you to watch the marking of Corpus Christi, Father Campbell has been very busy this weekend.
Today’s lesson is about St Anthony of Padua.
Saturday (13th June) was the feast of St Anthony of Padua. Usually we would talk about him and learn about him if his feast day had fallen on a school day, therefore we will learn about him today because he is a very popular and beloved saint. Do you know why?
Yes, Saint Anthony is known as the saint you pray to if you have lost something. He is one of my favourite saints because he is my gran’s favourite and he has really helped her in the past. One day, my gran lost her favourite crucifix necklace, she was very, very upset and she prayed every day for almost two weeks. One day when she went back in the drawer to check once more, it was there! Just sitting where she had checked so many times! She was so very happy that she has continued to include St Anthony in her daily prayers ever since. For, as she explained to me, it’s okay to pray to St Anthony to ask for help but you must also remember to pray to him and thank him.
The Story of St Anthony
Anthony’s name was Fernando Martins. He was born in Portugal in 1195 to a wealthy family, but he wanted to become a priest and chose to live a life of poverty. After his ordination, the plan was for Anthony to travel to Morocco to help spread the Catholic faith. While there, he became very sick, therefore his superiors decided to send him back to Portugal. On the way home, a storm came and blew his ship off course. Instead of landing back in Portugal they landed in Sicily, not far from Italy. They then travelled to Tuscany which is in the middle of Italy. Being ill and weak, Anthony’s superiors decided to have him stay with some local priests in the hope that he would get better. He spent a long time there praying and studying.
One day, Anthony was asked to give a homily at mass, he had not prepared for this and was nervous as he hadn’t done it before. His superior told him, “Just say what the Holy Spirit wants you to.” (In other words, don’t prepare anything and God will give you the words to say.) His homily was so well received that he was from then on asked to preach to various groups. He became known as a great preacher. Anthony had the ability to teach to everyone, regardless if they were young or old, educated or not.
So why is he known as the saint to pray to for lost items? Well, Anthony had a special prayer book which he used in all his teachings. It had lots of notes and special prayers that he used during his homilies, but one day it was stolen. Anthony prayed and prayed for its return and eventually the thief returned it. But not only did he give it back, he began to worship and followed the teachings of Anthony.
Questions:
Task
Apart from school life, can you name someone in your family or circle of family friends who is a good teacher? It doesn’t have to be educational, it can be about anything, such as a grandfather who inspires you with stories or work, or a family friend who talks to groups of people about something important. Write a little about them. Who are they and what skills do they have that make them a good teacher?
For me, like I mentioned before, my gran is a good teacher. She has taught me many things about my religion over the years. She is interesting to listen to because she is a great story teller and uses her voice and facial expressions very well. She is also very funny and has the ability to laugh at herself when she makes mistakes, which is important!
I hope you all have a lovely day and tonight when you are saying your prayers, remember to include St Anthony.
St Anthony, pray for us.
Take care
Mrs Graham 🙂

Good morning boys and girls. I hope you have all had a great weekend and are ready to learn some new things and enjoy some interesting activities.
Let’s start today as usual with our morning prayer.
As you know, June is the month of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is when we should focus on praying to and honouring The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ and try to understand his eternal love for us.
Hundreds of years ago a nun called Margaret Mary had a vision in which she saw Jesus – this is known as The Great Apparition. She received twelve promises from Jesus for those who honour His Sacred Heart. Some of these promises are that Jesus will give devotees comfort, peace, holiness, and “all the graces necessary for their state in life.” In addition, Jesus promised that He would “bless every place where an image of his heart is exposed and honoured’.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is shown as a bright red human heart with flames and a halo of light. The heart is pierced and bleeding, referring to the manner of Jesus’ death on the cross. The heart is surrounded by a crown of thorns, symbolizing his passion. Above the heart is a cross, representing us being saved from sin. The heart is aflame, signifying purification. The whole symbol shines with rays of light, showing the holiness of the Lord.
Here is a very powerful prayer – called a novena – to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You should try to learn it and say the prayer whenever you need to.
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.” Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of…..(here name your request)
Now say an Our Father….Hail Mary….Glory Be to the Father….Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
This prayer will bring you closer to Jesus and his generous love.
Boys and girls here is a link to a website which will show you how to make a Sacred Heart medal all by yourselves.

Finally, here is a picture for you to colour. If you cant print the picture then try to copy it. When you have finished it, put it on a wall in your house.
I hope you have a great day boys and girls.
