Good morning everyone!<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe that it’s the last week of a very strange term and that summer holidays or staycations are looming!<\/p>\n

Below you will find an update and then a celebration of all things art and design for the final couple of days!<\/p>\n

Important Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Primary 1 Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week we welcomed our new Primary 1 children into our school community – albeit virtually. I would like to thank all of the staff who worked so hard to create the video clips, the Bear Hunt and all of the information for parents and children\u00a0\u00a0to make the transition a little less difficult. Weren’t the current Primary 1 children superstars with their welcoming video clips? The Primary 6 letters and pictures were terrific too. Well done to all of you! Thanks also to Fr. Campbell for his message to the little ones too.<\/p>\n

Wishing- you-well Wednesday!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we have to say good bye and good luck to our fabulous Primary 7 children. Please log in to the website on Wednesday for ‘Wishing-you-well Wednesday!’ to celebrate the contribution the Primary 7 children have made to the school.<\/p>\n

School Information: August<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we will be contacting you to give you important information in respect of the new school session, beginning in August. Please check your email regularly, including spam folders also.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summer Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday I posted information and a link in respect of access to the summer hub. In case you missed it I have attached the link below.<\/p>\n

NLC ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUMMER HUBS<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s begin our final couple of days with our school morning prayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God our Father<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we prepare to begin our work<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So that we may fully benefit from our day together. Amen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Art and Design Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What better way to start Art and Design Week than a super painting from Mairead!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mairead’s Picture<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that you’ll agree that she did a wonderful painting.<\/p>\n

Next, take a look at Harris, Rachel and Freya’s wonderful work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris, Rachel and Freya<\/a><\/p>\n

What beautiful R.E. work…well done to all of you!<\/p>\n

We’re moving from Mairead’s French inspiration to Spain and we’ll look at some paintings by a very famous Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso. Picasso is well known for painting in the cubist styl<\/strong>e<\/strong>.<\/strong> Some of his paintings may appear a little strange at first – however you’ll have great fun copying his style!<\/p>\n

Picasso: some strange faces!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some Strange Objects!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, my favourite painting by Picasso: The Three Musicians<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just look at those faces, clothes and instruments! Look at the shapes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch the video clips below and have a go yourself. Remember to email your pictures and paintings to your teacher. Good luck!<\/p>\n
