P4 had a great time at the Christmas party today. We all looked very smart and festive. We played musical bumps, pass the parcel, corners game and we had a best dancer competition. We all loved the party food and especially our treat of ice cream and strawberry sauce. We were so excited when we returned to our class to find a sack of gifts from Santa. We all got to choose our own book and take home to read and enjoy. Thank you Santa!
Today was one of our favourite days, Christmas lunch day! It really got us in the mood for Christmas. We all had our Christmas jumpers on and enjoyed the Christmas music. The food was delicious and it was very special for us all to be served by the P7s, thank you!
Primary 4 made beautiful Christmas tree cards this week!
On Friday morning, the wholes school took part in the Daily Mile. We walked around the playground approximately 14 times which equals a distance of one mile. Some of us walked, some of us jogged and some of us ran! We even listened to Christmas music as we walked and got the chance to walk with our friends from our own class, other classes and with our siblings.
Great fun was had by all on Friday morning! Amazing effort from everyone – the children looked amazing in their costumes! They all enjoyed the P4-P7 Halloween party in the hall.
Here they are…
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. October includes the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). The best way to celebrate the month is, of course, to pray the Rosary.
We have spent some time praying the Rosary and we have enough Rosary beads to use whilst saying the prayers.

This morning, we all went to the Primary 7 classroom to cast our votes for the House Captain elections. Over the past few weeks the candidates in Primary 7 have taken part in Hustings, where they have shared information to the whole school about why they would make a great House Captain! We enjoyed casting our votes and popping our vote into the box. We look forward to hearing who our new House Captains will be – good luck to all!
This week in gardening 🧑🌾 club we were working on the new sensory garden that everyone in the school is helping to create. The first stage is digging out the soil. We had to safely use the shovels to dig out the turf and put it in the wheel barrow.
As part of our IDL topic of Europe we will look at some famous people from across Europe. This week we started with France and the famous painter Claude Monet. We learned he was born in Paris and was an artist from a young age. He is famous for his impressionist style and we started to study his techniques. We focused on watercolours and we learned 4 techniques which can be used with watercolour paint. Next week we will use those techniques to create a ‘Water Lillies’ picture just like Claude Monet.
Today in gardening club we got to use the secateurs. We listened to the safety rules as they are very sharp and strong. We then listened very carefully to how we prune the trees in our school garden. An excellent job completed and the trees are now under control.
We also weeded one of the large planters……weeding again 🤯 and this made us think of how quickly the weeds grow and why it is important to keep on top of them so our vegetables 🌽 and flowers can grow.
we even managed to harvest some.
