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.
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.
Primary 5 were learning how to save lives in the pool this week.
Primary 5 have been working well in their co-operative learning groups to learn more about the miracles Jesus performed in the New Testament.
Primary 7b have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Today we focussed on 2D shapes and polygons. The children looked at different shapes and discussed their properties and if they were regular or irregular polygons. They worked in their groups to complete tables identifying the shape names, what they look like and their properties. Tomorrow we will focus on 3D shapes.
Primary 5 have started their block of athletics and swimming today! We have enjoyed trying javelin, discus throwing, shot putting and hammer throwing… now we are off to swimming! 
Primary 7b were learning all about St Andrew yesterday. We looked at a presentation about the life of St Andrew and why he is Scotland’s patron saint. The children then chose a partner and completed a storyboard showing what they had learned. I was very impressed with their work!
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.
