Primary 4 – w/e 5th June 2015
Primary 4 have been doing lots of work on preparing for First Communion which took place on Saturday 23rd May. We were so blessed to have the sun shining on us on our special day. The children were fantastic and some of their classmates who weren’t making their First Communion also came along to support them which was lovely.
We are now working hard on our assembly to share what we have learned about Sacraments with the rest of the school.
World Book Day
On Friday 6th Of March the whole school and nursery will attend an assembly to celebrate World Book day 2015.
All Pupils are invited to bring a copy of their favourite book to school and to dress up as their favourite character from that book. (Please note that the afternoon group in the nursery will celebrate this on Thursday 5th of March instead).
We look forward to celebrating the wonderful world of books with you all.
Happy New Year!
In this New Year and this new term Primary 4 are trying to make themselves ‘Proud’ by doing their best and working hard at all times. They are so proud of themselves this week because there have been no yellow cards given at all!They are going to try and keep this up!
Snow Day Activities
Boys and girls, I have put a range of activities on to your glow page to keep you busy in case of school closures during the winter months!
Practise your times tables either write them down and ask a family member to quiz you, make up a fun way to learn them or use this link – http://www.transum.org/tables/times_tables.asp
Make a visit to the library and take out an interesting book that you can recommend to a friend once you have finished it.
Write a book report for your favourite book, if you need help with this just search for ‘book reports’ on the internet and you will find lots of useful sites.
Invent a fun way to practice your spelling – be prepared to tell the class!
Experiment time! Why not create an experiment about your senses. Choose a range of objects, blindfold a friend or relative and investigate whether they can work out the objects just by using their sense of touch and smell. Got another idea for an experiment?! Write it down and bring it into school!
Practise learning your rights and responsibilities:
