  Fri 03 Dec 2021

  Penelope (P1), Austin (P3), Ava (P4), Lorcan (P5), Riley (P6) and Brendan (P7) were all highly deserving recipients of our Pupil of the Week awards today. Well done to you all!

  

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 03 Dec 2021

  It was a P2 pupil this week who was the recipient of the Principal’s Award. Eilish is recognised as having an extremely high work ethic which has enabled her to make great progress across the curriculum. She tries hard at every challenge that is set in front of her. She is a fine friend to all in her class and continually shows excellent manners to everyone that she comes into contact with.

  Well done Eilish!

  

• Daily Mile Santa Walk/Run

  Fri 03 Dec 2021

  Raising awareness of children’s mental health and well-being was the focus of today’s event. Just after lunch, the boys and girls from P1 to P7 took to the playground to complete a mile long walk/run. Great comradeship was shown by the whole school as we collectively enjoyed the stroll!

  

• P3 - Castle Creations

  Fri 03 Dec 2021

  Mrs McPolin’s class have been hard at work this past month making their own castle creations. The finished products were wonderful and full of creativity and resourcefulness.

  A lot of effort went into their construction. The children’s innovations saw castles made from wood, some with fairy light additions, castles with adjoining battle fields, moats and miniature figures. Family crests and the quirky inclusion of a Rapunzel character were some of the other creative touches!

  Well done to all the boys and girls for their great work related to their Fairytales topic.

  

• Save Your Stamps For RNIB

  Thu 02 Dec 2021

  Martin (P7) from the School Council recently told us all about an initiative that involves collecting stamps in the lead up to Christmas. The idea is to take stamps off your Christmas cards and other post and the more you collect, the more that is then given to the RNIB charity. 

  We have a box in school for all stamps to be collected in and for every kilogram of stamps collected, the charity receives £20. All children are encouraged to bring any stamps from home into school.
