P7 Transition

On Wednesday, Mrs Gallagher and some S1 pupils from St Maurice’s came to work with our Primary 7’s. They looked at the bible and completed a bible quiz in groups were they were able to win sweets for prizes. The children throughly enjoyed the visit and are looking forward to the next 2 weeks when Mrs Gallagher will return to do more transition.

All children who took participated in the first part of bike ability 1 have passed the course. They had their final session with Robert today and the children all took part with enthusiasm. They will each receive a certificate and a badge for passing and one lucky person will win a goody bag for most effort put in throughout the sessions. This will be announced on Friday at assembly and the children will also receive their certificates then. Bike ability 2 will begin April 24th for the primary 7 children who want to take part. Here are some photos of our last session.

Scottish Dancing

Continuing with our Scottish week celebrations, Primary 7 and 6 joined together to practice some traditional Scottish dancing. After some initial nerves, the children all joined in and thoroughly enjoyed learning the moves to the gay gordons, the Canadian barn dance and the dashing white sergeant.

Scottish Storyteller

Today marks the start of our Scottish week in St Patrick’s. This morning P7 went together to listen to Daniel tell us a few traditional Scottish stories. He told us the story of the Mermaid Bride from Orkney. The children were all very excited to hear the story and were totally enthralled when Daniel was delivering the story in such an exciting way.

At the end he performed some music on his didgeridoo, the children especially liked his beat boxing.

When returning to class, P7b used their imagination to create some visualisers linked to the story.

P7 visit to St Maurice’s

All the Primary 7’s visited St Maurice’s yesterday morning. They were joined by P7 pupils from St Michael’s, Holy Cross and St Helen’s. The children all participated in different science investigations linked to chemistry, biology and physics. All the children throughly enjoyed taking part in the activities and finding out the results of the experiments. It gave them a great insight to the type of science lessons they will get in high school.
