Catholic Education Week 2024

Catholic Schools Week 2024 | Diocese of Meath
We celebrated Catholic Education Week / Fortnight in November.
This year’s theme isΒ “Pilgrims of Hope“.Β  Pope Francis has confirmed that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, which happens every 25 years.
Pilgrims of Hope centres around the idea of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, ongoing effects of Covid and climate crisis.
β€œWe must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope. ”  The Holy Father, Pope Francis.

Rannoch News

We have had a lovely festive week in Rannoch class…We have enjoyed making festive baubles with our photo on them and we are looking forward to taking them home!

We have also enjoyed some time outside inΒ the crisp air and time in the Sensory Room.

We have also continued with our studies of initial sounds and revised our understanding of 3-D shapes.

Primary 6R

Primary 6 have been very busy this week

We presented our Solo Talks this week on various topics that we find interesting, we were also given the opportunity to peer assess. We noted the things that worked well and provided feedback on things they could do even better for future talks.

On Tuesday we got to watch a movie with the whole school. We really enjoyed it.

We started our whole school rehearsals for our carol service, we are feeling quite confident that we know our reading and songs. “We Three Kings” is the favourite.

We led Advent Mass today (Friday) and welcomed parishioners to our school. Many students had a part to play in the mass – welcoming our parishioners, bidding prayers and offertory procession.

After our mass we participated in a Christmas themed Daily Mile with the whole school, 14 laps of our playground to be exact!

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.Β  Some of us walked, some of us jogged and some of us ran!Β  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.

 

Primary 1 First week of Advent

We have a great first week of advent.
We had a special visitor arrive on Monday, a class elf called Sparkles. Sparkles has added a extra bit of fun to our week. He delivered us a real Christmas πŸŽ„ tree which we are going to look after and plant in the garden in spring time. We decorated the tree together. He has also delivered us lots of Christmas πŸŽ…πŸ» books to read before Christmas holidays as well as some chocolate puddings.

We have been learning all about the nativity story and what we do in the build up to Christmas. Β In class we made advent wreaths and spoke about the significance of the candles.

On Friday we joined the whole school to celebrate an advent mass. We were all very respectful and tried our very best at singing.

The whole school joined in on the Daily mile today, this was the first time we have done it but we are looking forward to doing it regularly πŸƒ

Have a lovely weekend.
