Wow!! P6/7 raised an incredible amount of £450 for our danceathon for SCIAF. We have talked a lot about the work of SCIAF and you have show yourselves to be responsible citizens by your unbelievable generosity. That money will be so valuable to children and adults that are less fortunate than yourselves. I am so proud of you all! Keep dancing!!
We would really, really like to thank Scott, who gave up his free time and came in to school today to help us put together our power point for Friday’s conference. We couldn’t have done it without him. Thanks again Scott!! That’s why you’re our inspirational person!!
Scott, our Futsal coach, visited us today to help with our conference work. We have chosen Scott as our inspirational person and he was brilliant with us today. He answered all our questions, had a laugh with us and told us some really interesting things about himself. Listening to all the hard work he had to do to achieve his goal and how much he loves his job and loves working with young people inspired us even more! Scott, we think you’re great. Thank you!

As part of our project for CAB’s School Conference, P6/7 and P5/6 worked collaboratively this morning, with 4 pupils from Connolly School. Everybody showed great teamwork and creativity, as we wrote a verse for the Conference Song. The song this year is based on Bruno Mars’ Count on Me. We don’t like to boast but Miss Glencorse and Mrs Kean thought our efforts were absolutely fantastic. Well done everybody! Here are some photos of us hard at work in our groups.

Happy Our Lady of Lourdes Feast Day on Saturday, the 11th of February. Try and take the time to think about how much Our Lady helps us and looks after us and remember to be proud that you go to a school which has such a special lady as their Patron Saint. Thank you Our Lady for all that you do for us. We look forward to celebrating our Feast Day Mass when we come back to school next Wednesday!
Although this has been a shorter week and we are all looking forward to our break, there has been plenty learning going on in Our Lady of Lourdes this week. Here are just a couple of examples from each class.

Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7
Primaries 5, 6 and 7 spent much of the week talking about how to stay safe on Social Media and in Gaming sites to mark Internet Safety Day this week. They created posters to highlight the message. Some of the issues raised were very interesting and very important. The class also worked together to create a fifth house for Hogwarts. The ideas were fantastic! J.K. Rowling might be wishing she had asked them before picking the four houses in her Harry Potter novels!
Phew! No wonder we need our break!!
