Three children from Primary 7 participated in the Taylor High School Public Speaking Competition. They were absolutely fantastic as they presented an argument for opening derelict buildings to Scotland’s homeless. It is with great pride that I can announce that they walked away in triumph with a trophy and medals for first place. I am extremely proud of all the hard work they have put into planning and presenting their talk. Well done!

Primary 1 have been very keen to show off the wonderful aquariums they made at home.
They all got the chance to talk about how they made them, the resources they used and the fun they had working with someone at home on such a fun project.
Well done to everyone!

On Monday 6th February the P7’s are off to Kilbowie. The bus will pick up St Patrick’s pupils first at 9 a.m. before picking up the pupils from St Mary’s who they will be travelling with.
Any medicines can be handed into school before Monday or given to Mrs Carroll on Monday morning. Please do not pack in your case.
Please pay any remaining monies including pocket money by Friday.
Mrs Carroll will notify the school on Monday when the pupils arrive at Kilbowie and a text message will be sent out to parents. Please ensure that you have given us the correct contact number.
I’m sure Mrs Carroll will let us know how the pupils are getting on during the week and hopefully we will get to see some photos.

Primary 4 really enjoyed their performance of the Romans. They all worked very hard to learn lots of facts about the Romans and encouraged each other as we prepared for our assembly. The children made the assembly their own by contributing lots of their own ideas to the performance.

During this term Primary 4 will be focusing on Place Value in Maths.
We will be concentrating on writing instructions and doing a class modelling block in reading.
We are learning all about The Romans and the impact they had on Scotland.
Primary 4 are also looking forward to starting our preparation work for their First Holy Communion.

It is going to be another busy week at school so here are a few reminders.
On Monday afternoon we will be entertained by Primary 4 when they showcase their learning from their Roman topic in their focussed assembly at 2.15. Look out for their photographs afterwards.
(Pupils should remember their white t shirts, shorts and gym shoes for this)
PLPs and jotters will be going home on Monday and must be returned on Tuesday. Please take some time to look over these with your child(children) and refer to the guidance notes for completing PLPs if you are unsure.
On Tuesday we will be going to St John Bosco Parish Church for 9.30 to celebrate the Feast of St John Bosco. Primary 6 will lead the mass and you are very welcome to join us if you can.
There is also a mass in Motherwell Cathedral on Tuesday evening at 7.30 in preparation for Catholic Education Week which runs from 12-18th February. As this year’s theme is “Developing as a Community of Faith” everyone is invited to attend the mass with Bishop Toal as the Chief Celebrant.
Tuesday afternoon is Movie Day, so not long to choose your favourite film to watch. Treats will be provided and money collected will be used for school funds.
On Friday afternoon three pupils from P7 – Julianna, Lucy and Jordan will represent St Patrick’s Primary at a public speaking competition at Taylor High School. Courtney, Darin and Natasha who were runners up in the audition to take part will also be going along to support their classmates.
The Health and Wellbeing survey for P5-7 will begin this week. The 10 day opt out period finishes on Monday so please return any slips by Tuesday at the latest.
Not long now until Primary leave for Kilbowie. Please pay all monies and £10 pocket money by Thursday this week. Information regarding our school pick up time will be sent out later this week.
Finally I have loved looking at all the great news and photographs posted so far and I am looking forward to hearing all the great news from other classes soon. Keep up the hard work. Please leave us some comments.

Celebrating Robert Burns
Primary 6 and primary one enjoyed an active afternoon celebrating Robert Burns Day. They sampled haggis, neeps and tatties. The children
even got to taste homemade tablet, kindly handed in to both classes by parents, as well as shortbread too. Thank you 🙂
Using various coloured paper primary 6 worked co-operatively with their buddies to create their own tartan art work. They even enjoyed dancing along to some Scottish music.
Overall, the laddies and lassies had a bonnie wee day.

Primary 3 joined Primary 7 to celebrate Robert Burns Day. They tasted the traditional foods of the Burns Supper – Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. Some children were braver than others! They enjoyed shortbread and to finish off a lovely afternoon they had tablet which was kindly supplied by one of our parents. Thank you!
We finished off the afternoon by singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Mrs Allan.

Primary 3 have been working hard since returning from the Christmas holidays.
In Maths, we have been working with money. We have been investigating different ways to make values and will soon be practising paying for items and giving change.
In Writing, we will be focusing on poetry and have already written some rainbow poems.
We are also enjoying our new topic which is Electricity. We have been learning about different types of energy and identifying things in our own homes which use gas, electricity or batteries. We will be learning about where electricity comes from and ways to stay safe around electricity.
