St. Patrick's Primary, New Stevenston

This has been a very busy week, the children are all settled and enjoying the additional space in the class bases. Primary 1 have been fabulous – I think they will be tired this evening.

The modular class was in operation today, this classroom is a General Purpose space where drama, music, art, RE, cyber coach and lessons which require silence and/or noise will be delivered. Staff and children are looking forward to making good use of this class.

Please check school bags next week for Annual Data Check  sheets, these should be completed and returned to school as soon as possible. It is important we have accurate phone numbers and addresses – if these change contact school immediately.

August/September Newsletter will also be issued next week.

I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer holiday. This post is to remind everyone school begins on Wednesday 17th August at 9:00am for P2 to P7.

Primary 1 will begin at 10:00am on Wednesday.

We look forward to the challenges and to working with you, your children and the community of St. Patrick’s at the start of the new school year.

Upcoming events:

Primary 7 transition programme will begin on Monday 22nd of August – look out for letters in school bags detailing time, programme and travelling arrangements.

Primary 5 will begin their swimming block on Tuesday 23rd August – permission forms will be issued to children on the 1st day of term.

School will attend Mass on Wednesday 29th June in St. John Bosco’s Church at 11:00am for the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul.

School will close at 1:00pm for summer holidays.

The staff and myself would like to wish you all a happy, fun and sun filled holiday. We look forward to working with you and your children at the start of the new school year.

The final total raised by the community of St. Patrick’s Primary for St. Andrew’s Hospice this year was an amazing £2,648.30.

The money was raised during Lent, Primary 1 Teddy Bear Picnic and Primary 7 Wear Yellow Walk.

Lyndsey a member of the School Liaison Team came to the Leavers Assembly to accept the cheque on behalf of the Hospice.

I would like to thank everyone for their support and  generosity.

The children had a FUNTASTIC time today! No rain and the sun shone in the afternoon. The children were well behaved and mannerly, they were a credit to the school and their parents.
