He always puts great effort into his work, showing determination and focus in everything he does. Whether it's learning new skills or completing tasks, he always gives his best.

P7 enjoyed a special morning at school on Friday morning, where they met up with their mums to prepare for Mother's Day. Enjoying each other's company, having some tea, biscuits and cakes, the families were a lovely sight to behold. Pupils also made portraits and wrote poems for their mums which were displayed in the school hall. At the end of the session, many got nice photos with their mums to mark the precious occasion. Well done, P7A. Happy Mother's Day!

It was with great sadness that P7A said, 'Ade!' to Miss Sarah Oelve today (our brilliant education student, all the way from Bremen), after around eight weeks of wonderful support and learning. Sarah truly revolutionised our classroom's layout, cared deeply for our pupils, enriched our school experiences with fun lessons on Germany, and left an indelible memory in the hearts and minds of us all. The children were very emotional today in seeing their German friend leave, but at least, we thanked her with an abundance of gifts and hugs. It was a personal honour for Mr. Gallagher (being a Teutonophile) to have someone from Germany in his classroom for such a long period of time. We can hardly put our gratitude into words. The pupils of P7A are eternally indebted to Sarah and will miss her sorely. Danke, Sarah!

Congratulations to these children who are our Stars of the Week. This week's stars were chosen because they have been showing kindness and compassion towards others. Whether lending a helping hand, offering words of encouragement, or simply being a good listener, they inspire those around them by making kindness a central part of their daily life. This award is a reminder of the power of kindness and the profound impact of spreading goodwill in our school.
