Shelaine and Paula, thank you for praying one decade of the rosary with 4A every Thursday.  We look forward to your visit each week.  Thank you for your prayers and kindness as we prepare to make our First Holy Communion next week.  

Congratulations to our wonderful Year 2 children on their amazing assembly today. They shared the parable of the talents and told us how special and unique we all are. The children spoke confidently and sang so beautifully. Thank you, Mrs McGowan, Ms Mullan and Ms Logue, for all your help preparing this lovely assembly.

Year 1a and 1b are enjoying their new topic :Under The Sea

A dedicated and hard working student in 3B has earned one of the highest awards in Mathletics, a PLATINUM certificate. An amazing achievement indeed! Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks to Tessa and Ben from Love for Life who delivered the What's Inside Programme for our p7s. The children learned some valuable life lessons through this RSE course.

Today, 3B explored multiplication through repeated addition, arrays, and the concept of 'groups of'. Children used practical activities to build understanding and practised key vocabulary such as multiply, groups of, lots of and times while explaining their matematical thinking.

This week, 6C have been busy writing biographies about famous people they admire and look up to. From sports stars to singers, inventors, leaders and we even had a few of Derry's own local legends. The children showed fantastic creativity and effort in every paragraph. We were very impressed with the detail, presentation and hard work that went into their writing.

This week 3B have been revising the traffic light signals for supporting development of feelings in PATHS lessons. When we are angry, mad, annoyed or even excited, we are experiencing big emotions. We learned steps that can help us to calm down so that we can then think clearly such as: counting to 10, thinking nice thoughts, walking away or even humming a nice song. This allows us to calm down to think clearly about what to do next, especially if we are solving problems with friends. We also talked about why it is important to have friends, how we can act with them and how to give a genuine compliment. We are currently making a friendship tree for a school display that we can read when we pass it and remember how to be good friends with others!

Build a Chair for Baby Bear.   In this fun STEM challenge, the children planned, designed and created a chair using simple materials. They explored problem-solving, creativity, and engineering skills while testing whether their chair was sturdy enough for Baby Bear to sit on. Perfect for encouraging teamwork, imagination, and hands-on learning!
