Have a look at what's happening in our school.
We got the opportunity to visit the new housing development on the island this week and find about the progress of the buildings. Micky, from Lowry’s, showed us around and explained how the houses will be heated and how the electrics work in a modern house. This was particularly important for our KS1 pupils who are looking at buildings in the World Around Us topic.
We had lots of fun for Roald Dahl Day 2024. This year we created a selection of crafts from our favourite characters- Mr. Twit’s beard, the peach and our own marvellous medicine.
Eradication Project
We had a morning FULL of information about the LIFE Raft eradication project happening on our island! It’s important that we all keep safe during the ongoing project.
Massive thanks to Rauri and Biz from LIFE Raft for showing us your cool equipment, explaining how to use it safely and what to do if we spot something wrong!
Our first wellbeing day of 24/25 had a focus of ‘connect and re-connect’. Pupils got the opportunity to re-connect with their school friends and think about the importance of talking to each other. We also used the day to take part in some sporting activities and finished by planting new flowers in our garden. Pupils got the chance to use the new sports equipment kindly donated by Antrim and Ulster GAA. We welcomed back ex-pupils in Yrs. 8 and 9, now at CPC, for the day.
We had a great day at our annual end of year BBQ and end of year celebration. Thank you to Patricia for organising it and making such lovely food.
Today we held our annual prizegiving in school. During the presentation we looked back on the all the things we have achieved as a school and we also said goodbye to our P7 pupil Rowan. The final presentation of the day was made to Mrs. Margaret McQuilken for her contribution to the school governing body. Well done to all our winners including our parents.
Please see a selection of our special homework for the month of June.
Our P5-P7 class had their final trip of the year to Ballycastle on Monday. They had breakfast in the café to start the day and spent the rest of the day in the parks and at the sprinklers on the seafront. Thankfully the warm weather meant they could really enjoy the sprinklers.
On Monday our P2-P4’s visited St. Patrick’s PS in Glenraiff where they took part a morning of STEM related activities. They enjoyed a snack with their hosts and made new friends along the way. Thank you to everyone at the school for a warm welcome.
Today we welcomed members of the coastguard team to our school. They showed us the equipment they use and explained the process of rescuing people on the Island.
