Today pupils returned to school and the theme of our wellbeing day was art and design. Pupils had to design and build their ideal space ship- a place where they would feel safe and comfortable travelling in. They had to:

• Discover ways of working together with friends by drawing or building a spaceship.
• Explore what would make the spaceship a comfortable and enjoyable place to be with friends.
• Think about what could be learned from spending time with friends in the spaceship

Our pupils enjoyed a Christmas lunch and visit from Santa Claus in the Manor House Hotel. Thank you to all the staff at the Manor House.

On Thursday we attended the Sleeping Beauty Pantomime in Riverside Coleraine. After getting off the 7:45am ferry, we were invited to Ballycastle Integrated School where we had a snack before boarding the bus. Thank you to everyone in BIPS for the warm welcome. 

Today we held our annual Christmas service in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. This year our pupils used their Christmas preparation to think about how Christmas is celebrated in other parts of the world. They also lead us in a beautiful Christingle service with songs, prayers, tin whistle and music in Irish- maith thú!

Our youngest pupils braved the wind to post their Santa letters this week. Let's hope they arrive on time. 

Preparation for the Christmas service is well under way. Thank you to Boyles shop in Ballycastle for the kind donation towards our Christingle. 

Well done to Conan in P4 for coming first in his age category in the art competition run by Ballycastle credit Union.
