The theme of this year's Children’s Mental Health Week is 'Express Yourself.'
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.
Why not choose to do one thing daily that will help your child's mental health

Dear parent /s
This is a reminder that as I seek to ensure we have sufficient cover in school for the children of Key Workers, it is vital that you email the school before 3.00pm each Friday outlining the cover required for the incoming week. This service should only be used when absolutely necessary in the interest of Public Health.
The email address to request Key Worker cover remains:
I remind you that you CANNOT reply to an Eduspot email!

Dear parents
The new Learning Packs will be ready for collection once again on Friday 22 January. School will be open 8.15am – 4.00pm.
Learning Packs will once again be set out in the Mall for Nursery, P1 – P3 and the Assembly Hall for P4 – P7. Please wear a face mask and observe good social distancing protocols when in the school grounds and building especially as we continue to have Key Worker children on the site.
It has been very encouraging to receive so many positive comments about the Learning Packs and the materials sent home. Staff have worked very hard to continue to keep in touch using the Seesaw App and we encourage you to keep in touch several times over the course of each week as you balance work commitments. Eduspot continues to be another very useful means of communication for me as Principal during these challenging days as I seek to keep you informed of school routines.
My staff have also commenced their annual Parent Teacher Interviews via the telephone. You should have received the call by the end of the month. Do not worry if you have not been contacted by the staff yet as each teacher is trying to manage a small number of interviews per day as they continue to provide online support to their class.
P1 – P3 are asked to use the ’old’ folder from Learning Pack No 1 (or a named bag of any description) to house the reading books that have already been sent home. Simply return the completed reading books in this ‘old’ folder and leave it on the Year Group table as you collect the new Learning Pack which contains further reading materials. It is VITAL that we do not lose books throughout this process as we've spent much of our fund raising over the last number of years on building up our reading scheme materials. Staff will be in touch also via their individual Seesaw accounts.
We trust that you and your extended family are keeping well and managing to stay safe during these most challenging days.
Be assured we greatly appreciate your continued support in everything we are trying to do for the good and benefit of the children.

Dear parent / s
I wish to inform you that Friday 11 December is our Christmas Jumper Day.
Children may wear casual clothes with their Christmas jumper on the day! PLEASE do not buy any new clothes. If your child does not have a Christmas jumper which fits this year, simply wear colourful clothes on the day. We are suggesting a £1.00 donation which we will donate to The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. This money will augment our Christmas Cards donation.
The Nursery are still rehearsing their Nativity so our Nursery Teacher will send a separate message via Seesaw if they are to wear Christmas jumpers on Friday or not.
Thank you for your continued support as we look forward to Christmas whilst still maintaining our Covid-19 protocols which have protected the school community so well thus far!
C McCambley
