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.

It was wonderful to see the children shining bright on Friday for Ditch the Dark Day as well as all the bikes and scooters with accessories.
During our School Assembly we talked about the importance of being bright and safe on dark days when actively travelling to and from school. Thank you to everyone for participating in this fun and enjoyable day and for the effort that was put into outfits and accessorizing bikes and scooters.
Huge well done to our winners of Brightest Scooter and Brightest Bike who won lights to accessorize their bike and scooter and to help them stay safe.
It was a tough decision when judging the Brightest Class but congratulations must go to Primary 4 Mrs Carpenter, our deserving winners, we hope they all enjoyed their little sweet treat.
The children all enjoyed the Red Dress Fun Run for NI Chest, Heart and Stroke and thank you to all who generously donated to this very worthwhile charity. The total amount raised will follow!
Please enjoy looking through the photos of a very memorable day!

Today our School Eco Council met for the second time this year, looking at many Eco related things that are currently going on. As well as encouraging their own classes to be involved in the 'Interclass Active Travel Competition' they also looked at how we could promote our Bag2School Recycling Project (which begins next Monday) in order to raise money and add to our 'Eco' Budget.
The Councillors also had a few great suggestions to help reduce plastic waste (watch this space) along with some thoughts around ideas shared by their classmates through the suggestion boxes.
