Have a look at what's happening in our school.
Thank you to Beverley and Adrian from University of Ulster who visited us today. Using LEGO bricks, we got to explore engineering building challenges and team projects in the morning. In the afternoon we worked alongside the Tuesday club for an intergenerational project on ‘memories of our childhood’- pupils recreated the adults’ memories using lego.
Please come and join us for a Halloween themed fun day organised by our PTA.
Please see the leaflet for those who may be interested in a coding club.
On Friday, we enjoyed our first ‘Forest School Friday’ session. We make tea outside using our campfire skills and had to think of all the safety aspects of making a fire in the forest. Thank you to Tania for all her help and providing the fire pit.

Well done to Oscar who represented the school in W5 yesterday as part of the EA transition programme being run on Rathlin in conjunction with Future Island-Island. The main theme of the project was looking at how isolation affects us on the island and young people’s hopes for a more sustainable future. The interactive digital Imaginarium exhibition at W5 will run for six months.
We celebrated Roald dahl day last week with a range of activities in both classes. In the 'little ones' class we took part in an online workshop with adobe express and we enjoyed our class novel 'The Witches' while in P6/7 the focus was on 'Fantastic Mr.Fox'.
Please see attached poster from ParentlineNI regrading a FREE parent resource entitled 'Can I Get a Phone?' The pack is designed to support parents with making the decision about whether they should get a smartphone for their child as well as supporting parents whose children currently have one.
We welcomed back our pupils with our first wellbeing day of 25-26. Pupils spent the majority of the day outside and despite the unusually cold and windy weather for September, we still managed to get many of our team building activities completed. This year we focused on forest schools activities including fire building, saw cutting and using nature for art.
