We had a lovely afternoon yesterday when the Minister of Education and Lord Lieutenant visited our school. Here is a video of the highlights…more photographs to follow 📸
Yesterday we arrived to nursery to find a brand new climbing frame. We were given some funding for the well being of the children and we decided to buy this for our outdoor area. It has a climbing wall, metal bars and ropes to climb up and the best bit is the long wavy slide. We took turns to make sure everyone had a go today and there were lots of happy boys and girls. 😁
Children in school were asked to design a birthday card for our 50th birthday next week. Thank you to all the boys and girls who created some beautiful birthday cards 🎂 Well done to the winners who received a 50th birthday pencil and bar of chocolate:

Copies of the winning cards were put into gift bags for the Education Minister, Lord Lieutenant Robert Scott and special guests who visited our school to plant a tree for the Queens Jubilee and our 50th birthday celebrations.
This week our school is taking part in the Sustran’s initiative ‘Wheel to School Week.’ Today the nursery boys and girls were allowed to bring their bikes or scooters to school. We got the chance to ride around the playground in the main school and what a special treat for the boys and girls. They absolutely loved it and had so much fun. Well done everyone for taking part today and don’t forget to keep scooting/riding to school every day this week. 👍
Well done to Charlie and Zara for becoming Cubs, to Mya who is a Cadet and Sarah who is now a Captain. Keep up the hard work!
On Wednesday we were learning about St Patrick. Afterwards we completed some art work. First we cut out a template of a shamrock. ☘️ We then held it in place on another page and used our fingers to dab the paint around the outline of the shamrock. When we removed the template it showed the outline of the shamrock. Have a look at our super art work.
An invitation for past pupils and former staff to call into school for a browse around school, a time to reminisce, meet the staff and enjoy a cup of tea...
Thank you so much to everyone who donated to our Ukraine Appeal last week. We were able to donate £410 to help the people of Ukraine through Colin Tinsleys GoFundMe page. You may have seen Colin on the BBC news or you can check out his Go Fund Me Page “Helping Ukrainians taking refuge in Poland” to see the amazing work he is doing for the people of Ukraine.
As our world book week author was Julia Donaldson, each child brought in a wooden spoon to transform into their favourite Julia Donaldson character. The children chose their characters, painted the spoon and then added details once it was dry. We had great fun retelling our stories using the spoons, don’t they look great?
As part of our topic ‘In the toy box’, Year 1 & 2 enjoyed making their own sock puppets this week. Mrs Kane helped with the hot glue gun and the children chose their materials and where each item would go. We can’t wait to use them next week to tell stories!
