St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class, Viewpark

Welcome to our “Virtual Health and Wellbeing Week”. Every year we have health week in school and this year is no different! Our teachers will be posting health and well-being activities every day on their Class Team page. Pop over and see what’s going on today!

Further to yesterday’s information from Cardinal Newman regarding the transition process for our P7 Pupils, we have received more information today. There will be an opportunity for our P7 pupils to have a visit to CNHS on Friday 19th June at 9.30am. The children can be taken along to the school and will have a chance to see inside the building and meet some staff. It will last about an hour. Children should be dropped off at the main reception and collected from the car park – there will be CNHS staff there to help. If you can’t make it, don’t worry, all relevant information will be sent to you.

Please click below to read the full letter from Mrs Murray.

CNHS Transition Letter 12th June

We know some children were disappointed that we couldn’t offer a visit to school next week. We were disappointed too because we would rather see everyone face to face. So we’ve been thinking of how to do this.

We would like to offer those children a (socially distanced) visit to meet their teacher and have a wee chat with them before the summer holidays so we are inviting you to school either on Monday 22nd June 10am -11am or Tuesday 23rd June 1pm -2pm. You will be able to collect a little booklet to complete during the summer holidays and a story to read together. Our P1 teachers will meet you outside the same way we gave out our home learning packs to the rest of the school. Your teachers are looking forward to seeing you on one of these days.

Please share this information with anyone you know who is starting.

‪Join us for Assembly this week… and why not bring a friend?  If you know of someone who hasn’t joined us yet, why not encourage them to join us online at 11am?  Let’s see if we can top our record of 100 people!

‪Looking forward to seeing everyone! ‬

Don’t forget to join us for assembly at 11am over on our Assemblies Team! Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Mrs Byers and Mrs Murtagh have been calling all of the parents of children due to start Primary 1 in August. They have set up a Teams page and invited the children who have GLOW usernames to join. They will be posting lots of information on that page. They are in the process of emailing those who do not have access to Teams. Please make sure you keep an eye on our Facebook page for general school information and download our App. You can message the school Facebook page with any queries.

Primary 7, we really need your help! We are still waiting for some of you to complete your Friendship Forms for Cardinal Newman. Mrs Murray and Miss Morrison need them to start to organise your classes for next year. Please follow this link, and complete these by the end of the day tomorrow (5th June). You will need your Glow login details for this. Please contact Miss Agnew either through social media, or by emailing her on gw09agnewlouise01@glow.sch.uk.

We also desperately need your yearbook information! The P7 teachers want to start putting the yearbook together, and we’re running out of time. Please click on the link below for the information that we need, which should be emailed to your teacher, or placed in an envelope addressed to Mr Thomas and handed in to the office. Again, we need all the information by the end of the day tomorrow (5th June). If we don’t have this information, then you won’t have a personal section in the final yearbook.

Yearbook Infomation

Please share this information with others, and encourage them to contact us with details, or of we can help further.
