Here is this week’s Assembly. Today we will all go home at the usual times and begin our Spring Break. For many of us that means enjoying Easter treats. Other families will be celebrating Holi and spring festivals, or getting ready for Ramadan and looking forward to Eid. However, we’ll all be looking forward to spending some time with our families and enjoying the changes spring is bringing to our world.
I hope you will all check back later to enjoy the opening of this year’s Art Gallery – the exhibition is all about HOPE. https://youtu.be/p-mYy-evDZo

Martial Art
Martial Art Success!
Primary 1 made huge gross motor skill progress through following a series of 7 martial art sessions. They have also shown outstanding responsibility by keeping their karate skills for the sessions and not letting them creep into play times or lunch times. You have made Miss Copeland, Mrs B and Mrs McGlashan very proud! Look at all of those Get Active, Stay Active JASS certificates! Well done, superstars!
Last week we celebrated World Water Day by taking the time to appreciate all of the ways we use water; for washing, for drinking, for plants, for animals, for fun!
We then moved on to our final section of our water topic which is water for growing. We each took 2 minutes to draw a flower. When we looked at them all together we noticed that even though they were all different colours, they all had a flower and stem, and most had leaves. This is just like a person – we have eyes and ears and hair, but sometimes they are different colours.
We have each planted a seed into some soil and will get to take them home on Thursday. We need to remember to give them water to help them to help them grow.
1 year since the first lockdown
On Monday we took some time to reflect on the past year. As part of a whole school display, we decorated these 4 puzzle pieces with who supported us and how. We also made yellow heart sun-catchers to be displayed at home, just like the rainbows during the beginning of the pandemic.
Next week we are going to look at different springtime festivals as part of RME. Below you will find some links to 4 different festivals or celebrations held around this time of year. Have a look and see which one you find the most interesting so you can vote on which you would like to work with this coming week.
Tell us on Monday which one you want to do!
Easter
This is an old series and it’s very long but good:
On the 1st of April (next Thursday) we shall launch the online Art Gallery for 2021. All the classes and in particular, the Art Reps have been working really hard to help prepare the Art Gallery this year.
To help you feel even more excited about it, below are a selection of the posters to advertise our Art Gallery this year, created by our very talented Art Reps!
I am really looking forward to the art gallery opening next week. I don’t know how I am resisting taking a peek at the pictures ……..but this week I have been thinking about kindness. On 23rd it was lovely to hear everyone speaking about the people and the things that had helped them during the last year. The display that teh whole school have been putting together is amazing!
