Children in Year 3 and 4 will be starting their swimming sessions next Thursday 14th September. Graham Lavine came into school today to talk to the children about what to bring and how things will run.
Children need to bring a plastic bag with a towel and their swimming costume or swimming trunks/shorts. No long ‘bermuda style’ shorts please We ask that children do not come into school wearing their underneath their uniform. PE kits can be worn on swimming day.
All girls and boys with long hair, or a fringe which goes into their eyes need to wear a swimming cap. Please could Year 4 children come into school wearing their cap so they are ready to simply get on the coach. Year 3 will need to keep this in their plastic bag.
Children will not have time to wash their hair so they do not need shampoo, conditioner or body wash. If your child suffers from eczema, they normally have a quick rinse in the shower afterwards.
Goggles
A letter will come home tomorrow regarding the use of goggles. Please read it carefully. If you still wish your child to wear goggles for their swimming session, then please fill in the form and return it to school by next Wednesday.
Arrival
Year 4 need to be at school at the St patricks road entrance early each Thursday at 8:30 am so they can be registered and get on the coach.
Year 3 can arrive at the normal time as their swimming session is from 10-11am
Children will not need any money as the lockers are able to be used free of charge. They will get changed in cubicles. Graham and the team are super at helping all students to feel comfortable in water and develop their skills. The first lesson will be an assessment to enable group placement.
Children are always hungry after swimming! Please ensure they have a healthy snack to eat afterwards.
Welcome to Year 3!
We can’t wait to welcome you back to School on Monday for a new learning adventure in Year 3 and in Key Stage 2!

We have reached our Easter holiday, and what a special week it has been. As a school community we have gathered together each morning, to share with one another a part of Jesus’ Easter journey. We were all SO proud of each and every member of our class on Monday as they shared with us all the Last Supper. A huge well done children, you did so with such reverence and care, you overcame those nerves and worked together beautifully. To our chanters, thank you. To our dancers, thank you. To our disciples, thank you. And to Ciaran who took who showed us Jesus, thank you. You all did so with the greatest of faith and love.
We have continued our learning of the Green Children this week and have focused on the features of a diary. This is something you could practice our the half term… if you have your own diary, remember how to correctly start each diary entry going forward, only speak in the first person and remember to keep your tenses in the past. We have also finished our electricity topic in science, creating informative posters to keep others safe around electricity. We are hoping to put a few of these up around school.
Well done to all of the children who took part in the Egg decorating competition, to raise money for CAFOD. The entries were so creative! The generous fundraising this half term has been wonderful. Thank you so much for all of your support.
