Primary 5P Lead Our Harvest Assembly

Details: Category: Primary 5; Published: Sunday, 20 October 2019 22:30

Primary 5 Mrs Peacocke’s class presented a lovely Harvest Assembly to the whole school. They enjoyed performing a play ‘The Rainbow People’, a Harvest poem and a song called ‘Thankfulness’. Mrs Peacocke is very proud of every child in her class and the role that they played in the assembly. They remembered the importance of being thankful to God for all he has provided and also the responsibility we have to share and look after one another. Thank you to everyone for their very kind and generous donations for the Craigavon Foodbank. We were overwhelmed with the amount of food the children brought in and are so pleased that we are able to play our part in helping to provide for others.

Enjoy the photos of the Assembly.

Primary 2 recently travelled to Armagh Palace Stables for the Apple Fest. The children learned how apples come from the tree, to the factory, to the shops and then finally to our homes. They saw how apple juice was made in the 1700's and also how to make potato bread. To end their visit the children made their own 3D apples in the craft room and played lots of fun apple games! A super day was enjoyed by both children and teachers.

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.

N.I. Water visit P4 and P6

Details: Category: Eco activities and competitions; Published: Wednesday, 09 October 2019 15:59

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:

boost energy levels
keep mentally alert
keep organs healthy
concentrate
stop headaches
have healthy skin
have fresher breath
flush waste from our bodies

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.
