Brand new workshop alert!
Strive NI have created "Worry, Anger and Everything In-Between" as a workshop for parents who want to better understand and support their child’s big emotions.
They’ll explore why anxiety and anger can often show up together, what’s happening in a child’s brain during emotional overwhelm, and how to respond in ways that help children feel safe, understood and supported. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can use straight away to support worry and other big emotions at home.
As always a recording option is available if you can't attend live at the time:

Year 6 and 7 pupils had a brilliant day on Friday at an Ulster Hockey tournament in Foyle College. The pupils played some lovely hockey and made it to the semi-finals in both the boys and girls competition; but unfortunately just missed out on progressing to the finals in Stormont. Everyone had great fun and thankfully the weather stayed dry for most of the morning!
This month our core value has been Honesty. We are very lucky to have so many honest pupils at school.

Tommie was one of the winners who won a voucher for Lifford Cinema, after entering the competition at Strabane Academy’s Open Night! Thank you Mrs Dunn for delivering his prize. Well done Tommie!
This week the pupils in Mr. Campbell’s class, were learning about floating and sinking as part of their topic work. We predicted if an item would float or sink. Some of the items sank and some of them floated. The last item we used was an orange, but it was very unusual as it floated with its peel still on but sank when it was peeled. Do you know why?
Well done to everyone on another busy week

We had the most wonderful visit from The Ulster Orchestra this morning! It was such an informative session about the different families within the orchestra and Nigel, Cillian, Ralph and Helen played their stringed instruments to some popular tunes from well known movies. We loved our morning finding out all about different instruments, how they make sound and some children got involved in making music with the musicians. A super morning! Thank you for coming to our school.
