Well done to all our boys and girls for taking part in Sports Day today! It all went so well despite the drizzle. We will complete the obstacle and novelty races on the next dry day and let you know how we get on 😊
We have had a busy week!! On Monday we came into nursery and we were greeted with 2 new arrivals. We had 2 chicks hatched from our eggs in the incubator. 🐣 As the week has progressed we have had more and more and managed to get 9 chicks from a batch of 12 eggs. 😯
Today the boys and girls got to hold a chick for the 1st time. We wanted to leave them for a few days to let them get a little stronger before they were handled by little hands.
Today was very exciting and very child was brave enough to hold or pet a chick. We can’t wait to watch them grow and to care for them over the next couple of weeks. 🐥
Today we celebrated two little children for their successes with outside of school activities. Annie was a winner at a Jubilee Bonnet competition with Sollus which was held at Bready Primary School during the weekend. Well done Annie and what a magnificent bonnet!!
Also, during the same event Alex got presented with his Pirate Dance Award. He brought in his trophy and certificate and we even got to have a little sample of his highland dancing. Keep up the super work Alex.
Have a look at what the boys and girls in Afterschool Club have been up to as they celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 👑
Year 1/2 have been very busy learning about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. They had great fun using finger paints to design a colourful Queen’s head. The boys and girls were busy writing diamanté/diamond poems. A diamante poem, or diamond poem, is a style of poetry that is made up of seven lines. The text forms the shape of a diamond. Have a look at the finished masterpieces 👑
Thank you so much to everyone who supported our Fun Day. Over the past few weeks children have been bringing in bottles and items for the rainbow stall. We would also like to thank Spar in Artigarvan for their contribution to the bottle stall, the creamery for providing treats for break, Ali’s Steakhouse for the burgers, Mr Whippy for the ice-cream and to Mark Hetherington for his help getting the Full Swing vans up onto our pitch!!! Artigarvan definitely has community spirit when help is needed and we appreciate it all so much. We sent out a text to ask for any bakers to help out with the tea/coffee stand and we were overwhelmed by the response-thank you so much to everyone who donated tray bakes and buns. It was lovely to see all our families back at school and the children all having fun. We will update you of the final total raised in the coming days!!! Thank you once again for your continued support ☺️
On Wednesday lots of beautiful Kings and Queens were enjoying lunch together to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Thank you to the kitchen staff for providing our party lunch 👸
Today the children made crowns and worked together to create a beautiful commemorative collage art piece to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee. Look at their faces beaming with pride!
Emma from Action Mental Health called to school to collect the money that we raised from our Big Purple Picnic. Thank you to everyone who supported the Big Picnic - we raised £115 for Action Mental Health. We would also like to thank Action Mental Health for their workshops and support for pupils and staff this school year 💜
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week TT Rockstars were running a competition for all schools in Northern Ireland called Northern Ireland Rocks. The children in Artigarvan loved taking part and seeing how far up the leaderboard they could travel. Well done to the winners in each class and remember to keep practicing your tables on TT Rockstars 🎸
