All of our Year 1 children received a gift from the Education Authority's Education Library Service and BookTrust NI.
Every child in Year 1 received a Time to Read pack. The pack this year contains the book "We're going to find the Monster" by Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola alongside some top tips for reading together, a colouring sheet, spot-the-difference and a QR code to watch the story being read out loud.
Research shows that a child who reads for pleasure will do better at school, even in subjects like maths. Not only that, but if a family read books together, it's a great way to bond, talk about the day, and have a lot of fun!
Thank you so much to Clayton from Fulton’s Pumpkin Patch for our pumpkin delivery today…our pumpkin decorating competition will be in full flow next week-let’s see which class will win the prize this year!!! Keep an eye next week for pictures of the finished products and who is the winner 🏅
Our excited Year 4’s headed to Gortin Glens as part of a school trip with our cluster schools, Donemana Primary School and St Michael’s Primary School (Donemana). When we arrived we met the other boys and girls from both schools and we were put into groups to complete a number of tasks.
These groups took part in a number of activities including finding wooden sculptures of animals, tree identification and making fireworks from leaves that had fallen from the trees nearby.
We finished off a great day when we got to play in the fantastic park.
Have a look at the pictures to see how much fun we had 😀.
Thank you to the team at Gortin Glens for a fantastic day.
Y6/7 enjoyed their visit from the Nerve Centre programmers who helped them program a game. They used Scratch coding.
The mobile library visits our school every other Wednesday morning for P2, P3 and P4. Dennis our library van driver loves his visits to Artigarvan and the boys and girls love visiting the library van to choose a book.
