• Cinema Vouchers For Pupils Who Missed Pantomime

  Tue 21 Dec 2021

  A number of children missed out on our recent trip to the Grand Opera House for the Goldilocks and the Three Bears Pantomime. In most cases this was due to isolation and illness. In order to alleviate the disappointment of missing the pantomime we have secured a number of Omniplex Cinema Vouchers. Please contact your class teacher via Seesaw and a £10 cinema voucher per child can be collected from the school office tomorrow morning between 9am-1pm!

  

• 🎄 Animation Challenge 🎄

  Tue 21 Dec 2021

  Throughout December, the pupils at St Colmcille’s PS have been exploring the highly enjoyable and fascinating field of ‘animation’. Our pupils were challenged to create their own animation under the umbrella theme of ‘Christmas’. The younger pupils devised theirs in the form of short stop-motion videos, while KS1 and KS2 pupils used the application ‘Brush Ninja’ on the iPads and laptops. The pupils’ creativity during this whole school challenge was put to the test and the results were truly fantastic. Some great work included a melting snowman, a Christmas tree being decorated, Santa’s sleigh gliding past the moon in the night sky and a Nativity Scene. All of the pupils involved in the animation challenge were able to enhance their creativity and imagination, as well as developing their ICT and problem-solving skills.
   
  The winners of the competition were:
   
  Foundation Stage- Keagan (P1A)
  Key Stage One- Cliodhna (P4)
  Key Stage Two- Michael (P7A)

  Yesterday, pupils from P6 and P7 who are part of the school choir went to Asda to sing Christmas carols and spread some Christmas cheer! They were fundraising for St. Vincent DePaul and raised a total of £150 to help those in need in our community this Christmas. The children did a fantastic job and were treated to sweets and selection boxes from Asda.
