Welcome to Mary Immaculate Parish Primary School Website.
Please read about the exciting things that have been
happening at our school recently.
WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN YEAR 5
Year 5 have been very busy researching and learning about
Antarctica. We have been particularly focusing on the human
impact on Antarctica. Studying the food chains of many
animals has allowed us to realize the effect that humans
have on the abundant wildlife of Antarctica.
Below
are some artworks we have completed that show some of the
animals that can be found around and within the waters of
Antarctica. We had to use a technique of blending colours
to give a 3D effect and then select appropriate animal
pictures to suit our landscape.
SACRED HEART MASS
On Friday 19th June our School community gathered to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus goes back to the 11th century. It continued to develop throughout the centuries and reached a peak during the 17th century. Today it is celebrated each year on the Friday after the feast of Corpus Christi or 19 days after Pentecost.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents not simply His physical heart but His love for all mankind. A love that is unconditional but especially makes room for the sick, the poor, the lonely and the impoverished.
At Mary Immaculate Parish Primary School, this feast is highlighted each year with a special acknowledgement for a student who has demonstrated loving and caring qualities towards others over a period of years while at school.
This year, the recipient of the Sacred Heart Award is Alexandra. Congratulations Alexandra on being recognised by the Mary Immaculate community as a person who possesses such wonderful qualities.
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
On Thursday 18th June and Friday 19th June 82 children from our Parish received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. The children have spent this term preparing for this special time. The children and their families attended a beautiful liturgy which focused on the meaning of Reconciliation. Many thanks to all the people involved in preparing the children and to their families for your ongoing support in their faith journey.
YEAR 6 CROSS-STITCHING
Recently, Mrs. Perrin & Mrs. McGinnity taught the whole
Year 6 grade how to cross-stitch. At first, many students
found it difficult. But after practising hard, many caught
on.
Our first design was a Tulip flower for Mother’s Day.
After everyone finished cross-stitching their designs, we
glued them on a plain card.
Our second design was made for Year 6’s donation
towards the Spring Fair. We had a variety of designs to
choose from. Some girls learned how to back-stitch messages
for bookmarks & mini-signs with sayings for your homes.
We hope to do more cross-stitching in the future because we
love it and we’ve got really good at it.
