Congratulations to our girls Gaelic team who competed and qualified today at the Cumman na Bunscoil indoor blitz. The team qualified for the indoor final at the end of February. These girls not only attend school training, their club training but put in extra work in their own time, and that showed today! Thank you to all the organisers for a fantastic day of football.

Pupils at the newly-founded Art Club enjoyed a fun drawing challenge this week. They drew some amazing representations of robin redbreast birds, while also getting to design their own GAA jerseys and colour in animals throughout our session. The children remarked on how relaxing and creative the drawing helped them to feel. Well done, artists!

Thanks to the amazing preparations and support of Mrs. Nelson, the P7 pupils enjoyed a fantastic Scratch coding session together yesterday afternoon. They learned how to create their own game. They managed to design their own 'sprites', key in different coding instructions, and furthered their understanding of how coding is essentially another language to learn. They thoroughly enjoyed the session and came up with fabulous game creations. Well done, P7A!

Due to the webcam of St. Eugene's Parish hall and members of Derry Catechetical centre, P7 pupils were able to learn about the significance of the Holy Spirit. They completed various faith-based activities, which helped them see the importance of using the Gifts which Jesus gives them during their Confirmation Sacrament. The children enjoyed the artistic work and learning about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit too. With their most important sacrament nearing, this was another brilliant session for the children to realise their purpose as maturing Christians. Continue to keep the Faith, P7A!

Thanks to the webcam of St. Eugene's Parish hall and passionate members of the Derry Diocese and Catechetical centre, P7 pupils were able to learn about the significance of the sacraments of Initiation today from the comfort of their classroom. They completed various faith-based activities, which challenged them to engage in profound self-reflection on their Catholic mission, as ''pilgrims of hope'' for the future. The children enjoyed the Holy Spirit Stretch physical activity and the artistic work alongside it. They learned the true meaning of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. With their most important sacrament nearing, this was a terrific way for the children to realise their purpose as young Christians. Keep the Faith, P7A!

Today, our P7 pupils visited St. Cecilia's College yet again, in order to develop their UICT skills. They learned how to create a personalised calendar as a Christmas family gift on Microsoft Publisher. Moreover, the children were able to use Microsoft Excel, in order to design their own Pixel-Art images. Their creations were very impressive as always. Keep up the good work, P7A!

On Monday night, pupils from Holy Child enjoyed a beautiful service at St. Mary's Parish, before compassing the Creggan community with carol and hymn singing. They had glowing lanterns and then sang more Christmas songs outside the Nativity scene of the front gate. We then proceeded to enjoy hot chocolate, sweets and more Christmas-themed activities late into the evening. We had a special storytelling visit from Mrs. Claus and even selection box gifts at the end of the enchanting night.

Today, pupils from P7 Literacy were treated with a trip to St. Mary’s Youth Club for all their hard work this term. They behaved very well and played lots of fun games, including; consoles, PCs, pool, ping-pong, arts & crafts, and football. The children were very grateful for this rewarding excursion. They even volunteered to help a group of people with special needs in the main hall of the club. This made their teacher extremely proud. They were fantastic ambassadors of Holy Child P.S. A massive thank you to the wonderful people at St. Mary's Youth Club too. Keep it up, P7!
