We recently had a special visitor to the school. Genevieve the Goat, from the Action Cancer charity, came to the school to talk about ways of keeping healthy.
Genevieve's tips for a fun and healthy way of life included:
- Eating five portions of fruit and vegetables every day;
- Drinking lots of water;
- Being healthy and active.

To celebrate World book day we made our very own bookmarks to use when reading our books at home or during guided reading. Our favourite time to read stories is at bedtime so we came to school wearing our pyjamas and brought along our favourite book to read.
Our Year 1 children are taking part in a 4 week programme of Relax kids. This has been a fantastic time for our children to unwind and focus simply on being relaxed and taking time out from a busy day. Here’s what our children have to say about it!
“We get to play fun games!”- Sarah
“You get to relax when the music plays.”- Melissa
”I like the lavender smell because it makes me feel happy.”- Max
Ballymagorry Centra were so kind to donate pancakes to the school last week. Year 5/6 had so much fun choosing their toppings for their pancakes and getting stuck in. Y6’s were super lucky and had two pancakes. During shared education we made healthy pancakes with fruit.
Children in Year 4/5 receiving certificates for becoming anti-bulling ambassadors. They received training from the Diana Award along with Mrs McClelland and Mrs Harper.
We look forward to them sharing their ideas with us in school and going their very best to keep our school happy and full of positive behaviours.
With the last spell of wintery weather, we decided in nursery it was time to make some vegetable soup. The children helped to chop up the vegetables using scissors and knives. They learned lots of new vocabulary about the different vegetables that they were chopping. The children really enjoyed taking part in this and the next day we all had some for our snack. Every child tasted it and some children liked it more than others.
Mr Wright is our music tutor who comes every Friday.
The children receive tuition using a variety of musical instruments.
Have a look at this sample of their work.

On Tuesday we talked about the importance of making sure an adult watches and monitors the apps that we use on our ipad/ tablets. We enjoyed playing on our class ipad and linked it up to our interactive whiteboard for everyone to take part.
