We are looking forward to World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March 2016. Please encourage your child to dress up as a character from a book. We will enjoy a short assembly in the morning to look at everyone’s costume and then we will explore books further during the day.
RE
In RE we will be journeying towards Easter, concentrating on Lent.
During Lent we will be organising a small enterprise project to raise money for SCIAF (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund). Some of the children’s suggestions so far have included: ice cream cone selling; sponsored walks; bake offs and coffee mornings. We will let you know shortly on the chosen project!
