Dear parents 
As part of our focus on Harvest in school we seek to continue our link with the Craigavon Food Bank Harvest Collection.
Many of you will already be aware of the good work of the Food Bank and perhaps already contribute to this charitable work through your own church however, we still wish to collect food for this charity on Friday 18 October as part of our Primary Five (Mrs Peacocke's) Harvest Assembly.
With this in mind, please consider sending your child into school with a non-perishable food item / s as part of this appeal. A list of recommended items has been included below. The Food Bank is thankful for any food donations that are provided to help meet the needs of people in emergency and crisis situations.
All schools which take part in the Harvest Collection will be issued with a certificate by the Food Bank.

Primary 5 Mrs Williamson's class recently hosted the first class assembly of our academic school year for 2019. The Assembly was based around 'Rules and Faith'. The children performed a sketch on David and Goliath. All of the children in Primary 1 to Primary 7 enjoyed the assembly and are looking forward to preparing their own class assembly in the coming weeks.
Our 2019-20 School Eco Council met for the first time today. They completed our annual Environmental Review, updated the Eco School Action Plan and updated out litter picking timetable to try and keep our school as clean and tidy as possible.
As part of our ongoing eco related curriculum work, P4 and P6 had a visit from N.I. Water. The children learnt about water conservation and how important it is for us to try and save water where we can. The children also learnt that drinking water is so good for us, as it helps to:
Last year N.I. Water provided each of our children with a drip free water bottle which we would still encourage them to use. We also received a new water butt which is now in our FS playground, and enough 'save a flush' toilet cistern bags for each of the toilet cisterns in school.
As part of our WAU topic, P7S have been looking at plastics and the problems connected with this. In groups, the class enjoyed designing a plastic free product.

Primary 5 were recently invited to Lurgan Rugby Football and Cricket Club for a morning of Sport. This is a continuation of the Programme of Sport which they participated in during Primary 4. The main focus of the day was to have fun through playing touch rugby in a team environment. The programme involved both girls and boys, everyone participated and enjoyed an activity filled morning.
On Wednesday the 02 October both Mrs Williamson's and Mrs Peacocke’s Primary 5 children embarked on an EGYPTIAN ADVENTURE.
They all came to school dressed as Egyptians and spent an activity filled day based completely around their World Around Us topic of The Egyptians. Everyone looked spectacular and a HUGE thanks goes to all the parents who helped this day be a great success with supporting us with the excellent costumes and accessories!! Even the teachers got into the spirit of Ancient Egypt. Our day started with Egyptian sums, the children had to use traditional Egyptian numbers to complete their Numeracy Task! Egyptian Pyramids and Flatbread were also made during the day, with some Egyptian dancing in the afternoon. All of the Primary 5 children enjoyed this educational and fun learning experience
