SCIAF – Wee Box Lenten Campaign

April 18th, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

During Lent all of the classes had a WEE BOX in their classroom so that any spare pennies could be given to SCIAF to help people in other countries who are less fortunate than us. Those pennies added up into pounds!!!  When the money was counted there was £66.39 but then the next day some more money was donated and we then had a grand total of £70.30. We  have helped people like the family on the boxes to have a better life. Well done everybody!

School Mass

April 18th, 2013

Today the whole school attended mass at St. Martin’s Church for the first time this term.

Primary 6 were given the important responsibility of doing the readings from the Bible, leading the bidding prayers and taking up the bread and wine in the Offertory Procession. Even the altar servers were Primary 6 pupils!

All of these duties were carried out with great respect and devotion. As the class teacher of Primary 6 for the last few weeks, I would like them all to know how proud I felt today. Well done Rhys, Courtney, Tyler, Ryan, Sophie, Liam,  John, Elle, Amy, Rebecca, Aysa, Christopher, Ronan, Katey, Oliver and Saul! You were great!!!
