🍩 🍰 🧁 Next Thursday, our Student Council are organising a Bake Sale in the GP Hall 🎂 We would be so grateful if parents got their chef’s hats on and if possible, send in any baked treats they may have! 👩‍🍳 All proceeds are going towards purchasing new tablets for our school 💫 💻 In addition, there will be a raffle on the day for some prizes generously donated by members of the community 🏅 🎁 See you there! 😋🧁
Our Gardening Club spent the day getting our school ready for summer 🌻☀️
2nd class were learning all about water and boats in science. They got to design their very own sailboats. They tested them to make sure they floated and then added weights gradually to find the strongest model.
💫🦋 As part of “We Are Unique Week”, we were very lucky to have author and parent, Noeleen Smith come in and talk to the boys and girls about diversity and the importance of inclusion. She read her brilliant book, ‘Y’know that Kid’ and spoke to us about Autism (AS). We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Noeleen for not only her visit, but for all of the work she has done and continues to do in raising awareness of autism 🌟Thank you Noeleen 🦋💫
💫 🦋 The wonderful, “We Are Unique Week” took place last week in St. Clare’s N.S. 🌈 As an inclusive school, we celebrated our individual differences, embraced our uniqueness, and learned about the importance of equity and belonging. A variety of fantastic activities and talks took place throughout the week, and the brilliant students who made an extra effort to be inclusive were awarded at our Assembly last Friday 🌟 What a wonderful school we have 💫🦋
We had a brilliant visit from the Emergency Services last week and learned so much about the important work of the ambulance crew.
