Unfortunately due to the weather in June our school fun day had to be postponed to September. Thankfully the weather was beautiful and we had a great day together with the families and friends of Artigarvan Primary School. A big thank you to everyone to helped out on the day and to everyone who supported this event.
Our school choir were delighted to be asked to take part in the opening of the Wedding Dress Festival at Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church. The choir entertained the congregation with a few songs including ‘This Little Light of mine’ and ‘Shine Jesus Shine’. The choir then had a chance to look around the fabulous display of wedding dresses and enjoy some treats which were kindly provided by the organisers before returning to school.
During the month of September we have had a busy month learning lots of new things. Our little minds have been thinking a lot about all the new routines but we managing very well and settling into our new surroundings. We have made lots of new friends also.
Every Thursday, pupils will be increasing their problem solving skills through Investigative Maths. We started last week with the 'Magic V's'. The rules: the numbers 1 to 5 had to be put into the V shape so that the two arms of the V have the same total - without using the same number twice. This was extended to using the numbers 2-6. Lots of different strategies and methods were put into action during this lesson and all the boys and girls showed great determination!
Year 4, 5, 6 and 7 all had a ball on their end of year trip to Arena 7.
We played bowls and a game of laser tag which was a first for many and proved very enjoyable!
The day was finished with a delicious lunch.
The children represented Artigarvan PS so well as always.
Have a lovely summer everyone!
Well done to Roy in Year 4 as he received our cricket cup today in assembly. Mr Campbell very kindly presented Roy with his cup for all his effort at cricket this year. Congratulations to Roy!
On Sunday 23rd June Millie and Jodie completed the Hard as Oak challenge and raised £145 for our school. We are very thankful to Millie and Jodie for this very kind gesture. We loved hearing all about the challenge during our assembly and seeing some pictures of the girls in action. Thank you so much Millie and Jodie!!
A number of children have been working on progressing their phonics and reading skills through Headsprout, an online reading programme. Gerry, the headsprout leader has commented on the fantastic progress made by all of the children. The children were congratulated in assembly and presented with a certificate and a prize. Well done everyone!
Our year 7 children have had the opportunity to train in Heartstart, an emergency life support programme. This is such an important skill to have, well done to everyone and a big thank you to Laura for delivering the programme in school.
In our school the children have many opportunities to play a range of musical instruments. Darren came to school to distribute certificates to children who have achieved awards in playing the chanter. Well done to all of the children for their hard work and dedication.
