Miss Feeney was SO delighted, and even more impressed, when she received this gift from Kaneez (P6a). Kaneez crocheted this from scratch. Can we please just take a minute to appreciate her skills and talent 🤩👏🤩👏🤩👏 Wow!
Today we said a fond farewell to our longest serving teacher, Mrs Smith! Holy Cross just won't be the same without Madame Smith, her warmth, kindness and great sense of humour! We wish her all the best on her new adventures.

P7 joined Lost Woods to help create a Glasgow Children’s Woodland in the lead up to the UN Climate Summit. We had a fabulous day and took part in a HUGE planting event. We planted over 50 trees and three different species - Oak, Cherry and Rowan 🌳🌲
Celebrating the success of one of our talented and hard working pupils at assembly today. Here she is presenting to the children about her experience on The Greatest Dancer.
Here is a list of daily live streams, videos and activities that are available and free to access online 👍🏼 Looks like a great way to break up the day! Have fun.
Some of the countries our children will be cheering on alongside Scotland during Euro 2020!
Keep your 👀 peeled to see how our children are using Euro 2020 as stimulus for learning across the curriculum!

Wow, what a wonderful day!
Our families enjoyed making memories of their children's 1st day of school at our mega Holy Cross balloon arches. Our fab P1 team even got in on the action! Send us any photos you have of your child's 1st day.

Mikey's reflection on today's 'Picture of the Day' made Mrs Meighan smile. Have a read - during these challenging times, always look for 'the light peeping through the clouds'. 🌥️🌈❤️
Huge congratulations to our pupils who made their First Holy Communion this morning. It was a beautiful mass and it was a privilege to watch you take this next step in your journey of faith. ❤️
@holycrossParis2
Congratulations to our wonderful P7 Curamus champions! You have consistently embodied the values of our school motto, Curamus, and it did not go unnoticed. We are all very proud of you both and wish you all the best for the future ❤️ ⭐️
Lots of space for us to enjoy some downtime before the dinner prep starts! It was only a matter of time before the football started ⚽️

We are so proud that all of our children exemplify our school motto of 'Curamus-we care' everyday, but after a close vote these two have been named:

Our Family Film Night was such a success! It was fantastic to see so many of our children and families come together, despite the weather! ☔️ Thank you to all who came along last night, we hope you enjoyed Holy Cross’ very own cinema 🍿
As our P1 children complete their first week we look back on transition challenge success, first day excitement and the proud smiles of achievement! Happy weekend everyone!
We are so proud of Miss Bancewicz for achieving her certificate to teach French, Spanish and Italian in the primary school 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 It's not just the children learning at home!

Maths is “among us”! P6/5 have been learning about compass points. They enjoyed this video game inspired task today, where they wrote directions for the “imposter” to help him catch the “crew mates”. 🧭

Primary 3/2 had an amazing morning… one girl even said “this is the best day of my life!!” ❤️ They made delicious hot chocolate then wrote clear step-by-step instructions on how to make one. Amazing job boys and girls 👏🍫 ☕️
Another young, talented author who decided to write her own story at home. The title is “The Horror Kidnapper” and it has 5 gripping chapters. Today she read the class up to chapter 4. We can’t wait to hear how it ends tomorrow, she has left us on a cliffhanger! 👏🏼
@Talk4Writing
Congratulations to P5/4 for taking part in "Sumdog's Glasgow Maths Contest". P5/4 won a certificate for topping the leaderboard on the first day of the contest. Over 567 classes entered and they finished 6th overall 🤩👍👏

iPad magic!! Building on our multiplication strategies that we learned yesterday, P5/4 used their shared iPads to create Keynote presentations on the “story of” a multiplication fact. Text, images, voice recording... the lot 👏🏼 Proud teacher moment ❤️
