Mary’s Meals Backpack Appeal

Our Mini Vinnies group have decided to hold a backpack appeal to help children in developing countries such as Malawi. The aim of this appeal is to bring in school items that will help a child in their school life. We are asking if each class could support the appeal by bringing in an item which we will add to the backpacks. Check the list below to find out what each class is being asked to contribute.

P1C/ P1S – pens
P2- crayons and rulers
P2/3- toothbrushes
P3- bars of soap
P4- pencil cases
P4/5- towel or face cloth
P5- toothpaste
P6- plastic or metal spoon
P6/7- notepads
P7-plastic bowl or cup
Whole School – old schoolbags/ drawstring bags/ clothes for school aged children/ shoes or sandals

The Mini Vinnies did a great job explaining the appeal to the school at assembly last week but here is a video about Mary’s Meals if you would like to know more about it.

We would like to thank you in advance for any support you can give.

Update from Primary 4

Primary 4 have had a great start to the new term and we’re excited to share with you all the things we’ve been learning about.

Big Writing
This term we are focusing on narrative, explanation and instructional writing. We’ve enjoyed our writing lessons and have written some excellent narrative stories so far. We have been using our class blog to add all our ideas. We’re looking forward to using our new topic, ‘The Ancient Egyptians’ to write some explanation and instructional pieces!

Maths
This term in maths we have been learning about multiplication and division. We’ve enjoyed our active stations and have found some fun songs on Youtube to help us remember our tables.

Interdisciplinary Learning
We have started to learn all about the Ancient Egyptians. Miss Kennedy has been so impressed by all the things we already knew about this ancient civilisation. We have given Miss Kennedy lots of ideas about things we would like to learn about and can’t wait to get started.

World of Work
The children had the opportunity to listen to professionals about their jobs during our World of Work afternoon. The children heard from a nurse, police officer, bio scientist, an engineering student . The children took part in activities related to each job.

Keep up to date with our all our hard work throughout the term by checking our Twitter.

An Update from Primary 5/4

Hello again from Primary 5/4!

A big thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Biscuit Company enterprise last term. With your help, we were able to raise a whopping £115 to support our chosen charity!

Moving into 2018 – what a busy term we have had so far! We have loved learning more about Bonnie Scotland, it’s landscape, culture and traditions.

On the 25^th of January, we thoroughly enjoyed hosting our own Burns Supper! We toasted the haggis, listened to some of Burns’ most famous poems and tucked into a tasty meal of haggis, neeps and tatties!

We have also been out and about exploring our own little patch of Scotland. Here we are exploring Baron’s Haugh!

Keep checking our blog for the latest information on what we have been up to!

St. Brendan's Primary School and Nursery

We are voyaging together in a community of faith, love and learning.
