The following children have been highlighted for this week:
P3 – Catholic Education Week Activities
In Primary 3 we are celebrating Catholic Education Week this year by taking the theme ‘Jesus, The Way, The Truth and The Life’ and showing its relevance in our lives today. The children have been learning about the lives of some of our saints, remembering Pope Francis’ message that God is calling us all to be saints. Pope Francis also encourages the children to ‘Dream big’ and use their talents to their full potential. Primary 3 also learned about some of the history of the first Catholic school in Paisley and how it was funded by Paisley Abbey. The children have recorded personal challenges which they feel will make a difference in their lives and the lives of others and bring them closer to God.

P1/2-Sandwich lunch
National Sandwich Week!
Did you know that there is British sandwich week? Primary 1/2 thought this was a perfect opportunity to make some sandwiches as part of their Lighthouse Keepers Lunch topic. They were very tasty indeed! This was a few weeks ago now, but look at our great efforts.
P7- Nail Bar
Some of our P7 girls ran a Nail Bar to raise money for school funds. The kids loved this and there were some beautiful designs and colours. The total raised was £46.60. Well done girls!

P3/4 – Visit to Glasgow Airport
P3/4 have been working on an new topic about Airports. On Monday 17th December, they visited Glasgow Airport. Loganair arranged a fun filled and exciting day which included a visit to check-in and a journey through security where the children had a chance to guess what was in the bag as it was x-rayed. They then went up to airfield ops. and watched aircraft take off and land.
Next, they got a thrill as they boarded a Loganair SAAB 2000 aircraft. On-board, they chatted to two pilots in the cockpit and were served biscuits and juice by the cabin crew.
The children had a wonderful time and would like to thank the airport staff for an enjoyable day.
Have a look at our enjoyable day:
P7-Remembrance Service
On Friday P7 attended a Remembrance Service in Braemount Care Home. Before the service the children spent some time speaking to the residents, who had written some of their war memories on poppy cards. After the service, which was conducted by Canon Eddie, the children created a Garden of Remembrance with the poppies.

Clyde in the Classroom Project
Clyde in the Classroom Project
Primary 4 pupils are to be involved in an exciting project to raise brown trout from eggs in a special classroom hatchery. The Clyde in the Classroom project is a Clyde River Foundation initiative that uses the life-cycle of a native Scottish species, the brown trout, to encourage children to engage with nature and develop a positive attitude towards their local environment and its conservation. On Friday 12th January the pupils had a very interesting visit to the Glasgow Science Centre for the project launch.
They are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the eggs and hatchery to their classroom, where they will raise the trout and then release them into the environment before the Easter break.
We will keep you posted on how they are progressing.

Walk a Mile
On Wednesday 10th May all of the children in the school and the nursery took part in a special ‘Walk a Mile’ activity. This is part of the ‘STAR Project’s See Me’ Mental Health Campaign. All of the children had a chance to walk a mile and chat to other children that they may not have spoken to before.
It was a lovely event and great to see so many parents/carers come and join in with the walk.
