Hi everyone,

 

You will be pleased to know that the tickets for the St Kentigern’s Annual Dance Showcase are now on sale! They can be purchased online (via the link below), over the phone or in person at Howden Park Centre. Please ask for a concession ticket when ordering so that you get the cheaper rate (bargain of £3 a ticket).We have so many talented dancers at this school, who put a lot of hard work into this yearly performance – and we also have dancers from Our Lady’s, St John the Baptist and St Joseph’s primary school dance clubs performing- you won’t be left disappointed !

As part of our school wide project on the Corporal Works of Mercy, our P5 classes have been learning about homelessness over the last few weeks. We have decided to turn our learning into action by raising money to support a homeless charity. We will be holding a bake sale on Friday 25th May. All classes will have an opportunity to come along and buy some of our tasty treats on the day. All the money raised will be donated to the children’s chosen charity, Shelter.

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I have sent a letter home with your child regarding a class trip to the Bennie Museum in Bathgate on  Tuesday 15th May.

Please send the permission slip in, along with the payment of £3, as soon as possible.

If you have any questions please get in touch.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Arrived safely in Manchester! Ready to head to the Academy for pre-match activities! 

 

Our group learned a lot from our fantastic canoeing activity this afternoon with Beth. We learned to work together, to row and steer a canoe, to hold canoes together to keep them steady, how to keep the canoe steady and make sure we didn’t fall in, as well as learning new skills for how to get water out of our wellies without taking them off! As part of our activity we had fun fishing rubber ducks from the water and trying to steal each other’s ducks from our canoes. We even threw stones in the water and waded in to have a splash around. Beth was great and taught us lots of new things.
