Primary 3 have been learning more about France this week. We were able to locate France on a world map, (thanks Aston!), we made French flags and enjoyed tasting French foods. Unfortunately it was too difficult to source frogs legs and snails so we tried baguettes, brie, croissants and pan au chocolate. Some foods were more popular than others!

We also introduced this term’s IDL topic which is Ancient Egypt. The children worked in groups to identify what they already know and what they would like to find out about Ancient Egypt over the next few weeks.

We had the very important job of voting in our school elections for our House Captains and Vice Captains. We tried to keep our votes secret before posting them in the official Ballot Box. It was all very exciting as election fever took over!

We finished our busy week with a lovely, welcome back to school mass with Father Marcine where the hymn singing was outstanding.

Well done al!!

This week, Primary 4 had their first NYCOS session and what a fantastic start we had! We had lots of fun exploring music and getting involved in a range of activities.

The children demonstrated excellent listening skills, following instructions carefully and engaging enthusiastically throughout the session. It was particularly lovely to see them encouraging and supporting their peers, celebrating each other’s contributions and joining in together.

We were so impressed by the children’s enthusiasm for the Expressive Arts and their willingness to have a go, explore and enjoy making music together. We are already looking forward to our next NYCOS session! 🎵⭐

This week, we have been making the most of the dry weather and enjoying some time outdoors on our school’s trim trail.

The children had lots of opportunities to develop their confidence, balance, coordination and independence while exploring the different activities. It was lovely to see each child engaging with the trim trail in their own way, with some choosing to challenge themselves and try new activities, while others built confidence through repeated practice and encouragement.

We were particularly proud to see the children becoming more confident using the balance activities and different elements of the trim trail independently. These small steps towards independence are fantastic to see and are a great way for the children to develop their physical skills while also building resilience and self-belief.
