Our class loved learning about the Festival of Lights! We made beautiful Diwali crafts, including colourful paper lamps to symbolise light triumphing over darkness. One of our pupils proudly represented us in the Diwali dance show, dressed in traditional clothing and performing brilliantly. What a wonderful way to celebrate diversity and share the joy of this special festival!
This week for black history month, P6 looked at the work and life of Wangari Maathai. We were very inspired by her courage and the work she did in Kenya to improve the life of the residents there. We created our own p6 “Green Belt Tree” much like the movement Wangari created. The children created messages on the leaves of how they could help the world, or of how they were inspired by Wangari Maathai🌿

In October, the month dedicated to Mary, our pupils painted rose stones to represent their prayers and intentions. They placed them in our Mary Garden and gathered to pray, showing love and gratitude through this creative act. The activity helped them reflect, express their faith, and feel part of our faith community, linking to UNCRC Article 14 – every child’s right to freedom of thought, belief, and religion.

Primary 4 have been learning about Celtic roundhouses. We discovered that roundhouses were important community buildings in Celtic times. They were built using wattle and daub for the walls and had large conical roofs made from thatch. Inside, families lived around a central open fire, which was used for cooking and heating. There were no chimneys, so the smoke drifted up through the thatched roof. Sometimes, even farm animals were kept inside the roundhouse to keep them safe and warm.
In class, we recreated roundhouses using clay and straw. We really enjoyed constructing them, and even using them for play afterwards!
Article 31: the right to rest, play and take part in cultural and artistic activities.
