First Communion Today

Well done to the 27 children from SH1 who celebrated their first communion this morning. Huge thanks to the Wileys, Mrs Dooley, Father Wayne and everyone involved for making it such a special occasion for all involved. I'm a very proud dad!

Frog Life Cycle

This week we have been writing about the life cycle of a frog. We then made a wee photo story and narrated it with Isabella's piece of writing. All of the children will have a chance to make their own frog movie, using their own writing.

The Bread of Life

Our take on Jesus words, 'I am the bread of life' This is our response to the Gospel of the week.
