On Tuesday 11^th June we celebrated our annual sportsday at the harbour front on Rathlin. The weather was extremely kind to us and pupils took part in a range of activities- throwing, targets, sprinting and the poc fada. Parents also enjoyed a range of activities. Thank you to Boyle’s spar Bally castle for sponsoring the activity pack and to the Co-op on the island for the kind gift of lollies.

As part of a libraries NI initiative, KS1 pupils enjoyed a brilliant interactive workshop with the author Clive McFarland on Thursday. They produced some stunning artwork and a brilliant story. For information on Clive please see his website https://www.clivemcfarland.com.

We had a great time on our end of year trip to W5 in Blefast. 

As part of our Architects of Change (Future islands) project we visited Glenmona House in Cushendun on Friday 17^th May working with two other local schools- Ballycastle Integrated and Armoy primary, we had to investigate what caused the death of a Robin. In the end we discovered it was actually a human and not another bird nor mammal. We had a great day in the sun and got to go on the top deck of the double-decker bus on the way back to the ferry.

On Friday afternoon pupils went to the beach for their outdoor learning session. Using natural resources, they had to create their own piece if artwork.
