What a fantastic morning we had in St Mary’s church telling the Christmas story to our family and friends. We hope you enjoyed it as we had great fun learning all about the birth of Jesus.

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!

On Friday afternoon, the Primary Seven girls enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Arts & Crafts event at St. Cecilia's College with many different schools. They had a fantastic time partaking in many Christmas-themed activities, such as; green-screening, carol-singing, gingerbread-making, face-painting, drawing and posing for Christmas photos, of course! They were a credit to the school and certainly got into the festive spirit! Well done, girls.

Yesterday, pupils of P7A learned all about coding and micro:bit devices. They were able to programme using Microsoft MakeCode, in order to make their names, personalised symbols and initials flash up on their handheld devices. They shook each device and walked around the room to increase their Fitbit step count as well. They all found this to be immensely valuable and enjoyable. Staff at St. Cecilia’s remarked on how technically-gifted and well-mannered the children were, thereby making both their school and community proud yet again. Keep up the good work, P7A!
