The girl’s hockey squad had a very successful tournament. We took two teams over to Lurgan College to play in the tournament. The girls played matches against other local primary schools. Both teams played brilliantly. Team 1 was successful in winning the tournament. The girls received their medals from Dame Mary Peters. What an honour!

We have been having a Polar Express week in Primary 2!!
On Monday, our classroom had turned into a train and the children all came into school in their pyjamas! The P2 staff were dressed as train conductors, waitresses and chefs or in their pjyamas too! We had hot chocolate and cookies onboard the Polar Express and listened to the story. All week, our literacy and numeracy were based upon the story and we wrote our own version of the Polar Express.

This year we are very excited to be a pilot school for the Zero Waste Champions Programme. Their vision is to educate and equip young people to become change makers at this crucial time in the Climate Emergency. The programme aims to embed the Circular Economy in schools across Northern Ireland, providing young people with knowledge about the Circular Economy and designing waste out of their schools.
This week Primary 7 Mrs Humphrey’s class welcomed representatives from Northern Ireland Resources Network and Ostrero (a Scottish based Circular Economy organisation) into school.
The pupils were introduced to the term Circular Economy and discussed their knowledge and behaviour with regards to waste reduction. They then took part in a practical session designing and creating a bag using scrap materials. The creativity was wonderful to see and all pupils were really engaged in the task. They are now looking forward to the next workshop which will take place in Term 2. Please view more images below.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Bag2School Collection. We are pleased to announce that the weight of all bags came to a huge 500kg which means we raised a fantastic total of £200. The School Eco Council will meet to decide how they wish to spend the money within our school. Thank you again for supporting this initiative and the work of our School Eco Council.
In P2, our children have been learning about 'Wonderful me'. We have learned about our faces and bodies and what our skeletons look like. We learned about our 5 senses and about our families. We enjoyed making pizza faces using healthy food. We have also been learning about 3d shapes and enjoyed eating pringles from a 'cylinder' container and having ice-cream in a 'cone' as a Friday treat!

Primary 5 thoroughly enjoyed a recent visit to the Ulster Museum in connection with their World Around Us topic of The Egyptians. The children enjoyed time in the Learning Zone, here they were able to identify and handle various artefacts from Egyptian times before heading up to Zone 2 in search of the famous Mummy Takabuti!

It was great to see all the boys and girls wearing their odd socks to school for Odd Socks Day. Please View images below.
The boys and girls in Mrs Carpenter’s P4 class, have been working hard over the past few weeks preparing for their Anti-Bullying assembly. This year’s theme was 'Choose Respect' and with the help of our friends ‘The Respectables’ they reminded us of how we can show respect, by what we say and do. The children had lots of fun performing their short play in front of the whole school and Mrs Carpenter was very proud of all her pupils. Please see images below.
