As you may be aware we have recently become a pilot school to work with Barnardos children’s charity. Monica and her colleagues are so far taking the weekly toddler group and we have hosted several “coffee sessions”. The final coffee sessions are due to take place next Monday 20th March at 11 a.m. and 12.45 p.m. We would urge as many parents as possible to attend as we’d appreciate your
input regarding how to take this service forward.

Super Scientists
Today Primary 6 turned into Scientists. They were learning about the Digestive System and their taste buds.
They carried out an experiment to find out what type of ‘taster’ they were by counting the fungiform papile on their tongues. Most children were ‘Tasters’ as the had between 6 -10 fungiform papile in the section that was counted.
St Michael’s Has Talent
Last night, some of our Primary 7 girls from the choir took part in North Lanarkshire’s Orchestral and Choral Concert.
They have been great ambassadors for our school as over the past few months, as they have taken part in writing the song that they performed last night.
Here they are in rehearsals before the concert.

Scottish Wars of Independence Art Day
Primary 4/3 enjoyed a full day of artwork for their Interdisciplinary topic on the Wars of Independence!
All the children had a choice of making a sword, castle or shield! It was a fabulous day where
children could use any paints, colours, and materials they wished.
World Book Day
Today was World Book Day and we were thinking of our favourite books and authors. Michael Morpurgo is an author who excites and inspires is to read more. We are very lucky to have lots of his novels in school and we have the opportunity to read them as part of our learning,
Primary 6 Transition
Primary 6 finished their last session at St Maurice’s High School today as part of the Transition Programme. Over the past three weeks, they have been working hard with Mr McConnell from the Technical Department to make a ‘Maths Game’, filing down their plastic and marking out it correctly.
Perfect Pancakes
Mrs McLennan, Miss Robertson and Miss Wilson were not as adventurous or confident in their pancake making skills as the Nursery today so they brought in ‘shop bought’ pancakes for the children.
