And Finally...I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all their help with the Confirmation Ceremony. I was a wonderful service and the children were a credit to their families. Thank you to all the staff who helped prepare the children for the service, Fr Paul and Bishop Farquhar for officiating the beautiful mass and the Parents Association for providing the refreshments afterwards.

Poems by Mrs McClement's P5 class
Green
Green is the colour
Of the grass on the ground
We see green
When we look all around

Green is the colour
Of the leaves on the trees
Green is the colour
Of the golf links fees
by Michael McNeill

Blue
Blue is cool
and bold an cold
you shiver and quiver
when you hear blue
Molly Merron

Yellow
I love the summer, it's so much fun
playing in the yellow sun light
Playing in the fields of yellow sunflowers
far away from the city cars
Listen to the bees buzzing between the trees
to make their yellow honey
Yellow is a warm and lovely colour
I can't wait until Easter, when it's sunny
Alex Watson
