P2/3 Outdoor Learning this week!
P2/3 were out in the rain showers today for Outdoor Learning. Just shows that the rain doesn’t even stop the learning. One group wanted to use the giant space of the playground to create drawings to fit in with their ‘Space’ topic in class. All their work and their choice… I was amazed at the results!
Catholic Education Week
This week is Catholic Education Week and as Pope Francis has asked we are ‘Shining the Light of Faith’ in our lives.
On Friday we will have an assembly lead by some of our pupils.
Tell me how you have shone the light of faith this week. Have you helped someone? Have you said extra prayers? How did you show your love for someone else?
Judo Success
The pupils in P5/6 really enjoyed meeting a Commonwealth Games Athlete to day James Miller who is an expert a Judo. He shared some of his life goals and asked the pupils to set themselves a challenge over the next few weeks to become a Champion in school. The goal does not have to be sport related but must be achievable and be measured over the coming weeks. The pupils have been issued with booklets to help focus their goals and help and support will be provided here in school.
Here is our Champion in Schools 2014
We look forward to meeting James Millar on Monday remember your PE kit P5/6 all ready to get active!

P6/7
Outdoor Learning
P1/2 were the first this term to experience Outdoor Learning with Miss Reilly. They all soon realised that you don’t need a classroom to learn, you can learn anywhere!
We focussed on Literacy and used carpet letters to find letters and put in order of the alphabet. Great team work and cooperation! We then used chalk and the playground as our writing area… what a huge area! So we wrote our alphabet out. P2’s challenge was to write it backwards… tricky! The last challenge for all was to write their name as big as they could… Lots of learning and fun was had!
Here’s the children’s feedback:
Brooke – “I liked the chalk writing the alphabet”.
Chloe – “We had to write our names big!”
Ellie – “The P2s had to write the alphabet backwards, it was tricky!”
Liam – “I liked when we had the challenge of writing our name big!”
Evan – “I loved it!”
Several weeks ago, P.4/5 was split into 5 groups and Mrs Doolan set them a challenge.
She said, ”Could you write, direct and film your own movie?” What a great opportunity to show off our talents and develop many different skills!!
Today we shared our films with each other, as well as our special guests, P.3/4. It was a fun celebration with drinks and popcorn. Awards were given for the following categories……… Best Film, Best Special Effects, Using Interesting Props and Costumes, Best Group Work, Best Storyline and Best Action Sequence.
It was so difficult to choose winners as everyone was brilliant. Take a look at some of our photographs from today.
P.4/5 Oscar Ceremony

Watch out for some celebrities walking around the school…which film will they have jumped out of?
