Primary 2M are very busy this term preparing for their Nativity performance in December. We have also been practising hard this week for the St Andrew’s celebration which has been a very enjoyable experience for both the children and I.

As you will be aware, we have been very active this November doing a mile walk every day. The children enjoyed practising our nativity songs and St Andrew’s Day song ‘Caledonia’ as we walked.

We have been exploring the Human body as this terms topic. First, we had a look at our skeleton and its functions. Then we further investigated our organs which are protected by the skeleton. The children have shown a keen interest in this topic and are very enthused to learn more.

In R.E we have been focusing on ‘My Uniqueness’. The children shared their thoughts and ideas about what makes them unique and drew beautiful self-portraits into their jotters. Each child made a print of their hands which we then cut out and made into a Christmas tree collage for our display, titled ‘We are each unique and beautiful, but together we are a masterpiece’.

Primary 2M were very fortunate to have had Mrs Geirthy come to visit us in school and tell us many stories about the history of St Brendan’s school. Mrs Geirthy grew up adjacent the school and her children attended St Brendan’s also back in the 60’s. It was a pleasure listening to her stories and the children loved them, they were given the opportunity to ask questions after she had told us her enchanting tales.

Today we had a very exciting and magical trip to the Motherwell Civic Theatre to watch “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. The children loved the experience and were extremely well behaved, I am very proud of each and every one of them.

Thank you for your continued support.
