Silver boot winners!

Virgin Mary GNS is a 'green school, and so we try to be as environmentally friendly as we can, even in the way we travel to school each day.  As we were the second best class for travelling to school in a green way (mainly walking, and cycling to school)we were awarded the 'silver boot' award for our efforts.

In November we remember

As November is remembrance month, we erected a small remembrance tree in our classroom to remember all our loved ones who have died and gone to heaven. Each girl took one tag and wrote down the names of her loved ones that she wants to remember. Each morning we say a special Hail Mary for them.
