Pupil 40th anniversary celebration

Last Tuesday it was the 40th anniversary celebration of the school opening.

 

Each year group had 2 periods to go to the fair in the playground.

 

There was candyfloss stall, popcorn stall, and an ice cream van. There where lots of different activates like coconut shy, piƱata, bouncy castle, sumo suites, mountain bikes, beat the goal keeper and many other fun things.

 

We had lots of fun, especially the ice cream van because we love ice cream.



P7’s Visit

Primary seven pupils (P7’s) will be coming up for their 3 day visit soon at Holy Rood high school. There will be 23 different primary schools with 240 pupils in total. The e day visit will let the P7’s see what it is like to be at high school and used to moving round to different subjects. Most of these pupils will come up permanently in August.

 

Summer Holidays

Our summer holidays are six weeks long. During the summer holiday’s people normally like to visit different places around the world like Spain,America and the hotter places to make the most of the sun. People normally like to go to beaches, have barbeques and go out places with their friends and family. People hope for sun and warm weather, since our weather is normally cold and wet. Our holidays start on June 28th.

 

Happy Summer Holidays everyone : )

iPad’s

Recently the teachers of Holy Rood high school have been given and iPad each as a trial to learn how to use them because in the future a year group of pupils will be given them.

 

Teachers use the iPads for educational reasons such as useful applications (computer programs which help you with your learning).

 

Some of our teachers are not confident yet with these new resources and are quite scared of them.







Exam Leave

The past few weeks the seniors have been on exam leave this means that they come into school holy when they have exams. It is only the 4th, 5th and 6thyears that have exams.
