Mrs MacFarlane and Mr McGinty were completely wowed this morning when the children brought in their WW2 models that they had been making at home.
Have a look at some of the masterpieces below.
The detail involved is excellent and it is obvious that children and parents have spent a long time making these.

Well done everyone!

Our children were complimented as they travelled around Glasgow today. Folk commented on how smart they looked, how clever they were, how friendly and well behaved. Well done kids!

Mr Young met us on our way into the Cathedral today. We were very pleased to walk through the doors of Mercy of the Cathedral and we were given a tour around the inside. What a beautiful building. Definitely got the thumbs up from our pr7 children.

This afternoon we went along to St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow. In the gardens of the church we were lucky enough to see a beautiful memorial in the peace gardens, dedicated to the Italian people who were killed during World War 2. We also saw the olive tree given to the Scottish from the Italians as a sign of peace.

After a good look around the museum, the primary 7 children had a chance to look through boxes of artifacts. We had a chance to pack an evacuation suitcase, take care of an injured soldier, make do and mend one outfit to another and we even watched as one of our pupils was transformed into Land girl! We learned little war beauty tips like how tea bags were used to make a dye for ladies legs and how a burnt cork can be used for mascara!
It was a great day out and you could even hear our children singing war songs as they got into the right spirit in the Anderson shelter.

The People’s palace in Glasgow
Fun in the Anderson shelter! It was very small and dark and smelled a bit funny! Imagine having to spent the night with your family in here!

Once again, Mrs McLean and Miss Dunbar were super impressed with the thought, creativity and hard work that went into P4’s latest homework project.
Having explored the amazing inventions that came about during the Victorian era, P4 were challenged to design and create a ‘Product (or toy) of the Future.’ Here’s what we came up with…
After we pitched our products to the class, we spent some time exploring each other’s wonderful inventions (with some cake to reward us for our efforts of course!)…
What a truly super effort P4. Mrs McLean thinks the Victorian’s have nothing on us!

Here are our Star Writers this week –
In primary 1/2 we have been reading for information. This week our book was all about how rainbows are made. We all wrote some new information after exploring the text. Everyone was trying really hard to start each new sentence with a different sentence opener. We are getting quite good at this. Also we have to remember tout in he capital letters and full stops. Mrs Carlin is a proud teacher because primary 2 are able to write at length and primary 1 are all able to write on heir own. What superstars.
Look at this fabulous work that Primary 2 are doing with Mrs McNaughton – they are dictating sentences to each other and are going through them so fast that they have made a dictation pathway back to the classroom door! Amazing!

Primary 5/6 have been busy as always this week. The learning we’d like to share with you is from our P.E. and R.E lessons.
We have been learning new hockey skills in P.E. with the sports leaders from St. Ambrose.
After we had warmed up playing some different games, we got straight down to work on developing our passing skills. Although at first some of us found it a bit tricky, we worked hard and showed fantastic control.
After that we started working on dribbling and shooting. We did this in pairs and had the chance to dribble up to our partners and shoot into the goals which our partners were guarding. This was loads of fun and we scored lots and lots.
When we had practised our basic skills, we had a go at passing in teams one against the other. This was challenging because we were all so eager to have control of the ball. However, with great advice from the sports leaders we managed to work together in our teams and win some points!
Then we really got down to business and in teams of 5 or 6, we took each other on for a real game. We really enjoyed ourselves and every team managed to score. Miss Brennan was super pleased.
In R.E we have been learning about Lent and about Jesus’ last words. We began by finding some scripture about the crucifixion, we read through this and made notes about his last words according to different passages. We shared these with the rest of the class then looked at different ways that we could tell these stories to others using dramatisation. We divided into groups so that we could all portray a different passage. We were very successful in sharing these and their importance, particularly during lent.
