On Wednesday we welcomed a team of nurses from the Public Health Agency to the school to talk to us about keeping safe in the sun. We learnt that you need to apply lots of sunscreen (factor 30 and above), drink lots of water, avoid sunburn and wear a hat, t-short and sunglasses. For more information see www.careinthesun.org
On Tuesday 11th June we celebrated our annual sportsday at the harbour front on Rathlin.

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.
