Primary 7 have finished their block of non-fiction reading and have now began their novel studies. We will be focussing on the 6 reading strategies which were used in the first term.

Each group have designed their own front cover for their new novel. The novels are proving to be very popular already!

primary 7 are in their final weeks of rugby with Ruaridh, from the School of Sport. They have been learning the rules of rugby and how to play but today they got to try out some tackles. This was a lot of fun and there was plenty of screaming and laughing from the children as they practised some different, fun techniques.

Primary 7 had a lot of fun fundraising for SCIAF today. They came to school with crazy, colourful hairstyles! Some even wore funny wigs!

Last Friday we had a non uniform day and fun day to raise funds for our school. We started in the morning with a sponsored danceathon which Primary 7 led. Each class had a 20 minute slot to come and dance along with Cyber Coach. Primary 7 had great fun participating!

Fr. Daniel visited Primary 7 this morning to tell them about St Blaise. His feast day is on February 3rd and he is the patron saint of sore throats and other ailments. Fr. Daniel explained to the children why this was and then we had a short prayer service and we had our throats blessed by Fr. Daniel.

This week is Catholic Education Week and the children will be focussing their religious learning on the Year of Mercy.
