As Primary 7 approach their final days at St Brendan’s, I would like to update you on what we have been doing over the past few weeks in class. Primary 7 have been working hard with the “Building Stronger Communities” programme. The children were eager to participate in the percussion activities and had a great time creating their own beats. This project was an excellent opportunity to develop musical skills and the children will continue to work with the musicians in high school. Primary 7 have also been busy delivering PE activities to the younger children in the school during lunch time. They have shown great maturity as young leaders and they loved having an opportunity to plan, organise and coach a wide range of fitness activities. In addition, Primary 7 had the privilege of taking part in the Yellow Walk Day for St Andrew’s Hospice. The event was held at Strathclyde Park and we had a beautiful, sunny day. Well done to everyone who took part!

Transition to High School

Primary 7 thoroughly enjoyed their transition days at Our Lady’s High School. They were very excited to meet new friends and find out their house and classes. Our trip to Edinburgh Dungeons was a great way to celebrate our achievements this year– we couldn’t believe how convincing the actors were! Without a doubt, Primary 7 have had a happy and memorable final term! In class we have had fun reflecting upon and discussing their fantastic memories throughout their 7 years at St Brendan’s. We had an emotional time celebrating our leaver’s mass and assembly with our parents, carers, school and community. I wish Primary 7 every success as they begin a new journey in education. Thank you for a fantastic year Primary 7 and good luck for high school in August!
