Goodbye Miss Cubitt

Over the past seven weeks, Miss Cubitt, who is a third year student at Stranmillis University College, has been doing her teaching practice in our school.  Miss Cubitt was in Mrs Henry's class teaching P4 and P5 and then with Mrs Miller in the P3 classroom.  The children all loved her lessons and benefited greatly from them.  Miss Cubitt shared her musical talents in preparing the P4/5 for their Class Assembly and also the choirs for Easter.  Mrs Calderwood thanked Miss Cubitt for making 'Rasharkin's first time to have a Stranmills Student,' such a positive experience. Best wishes for your final year at Stranmillis.  We have prepared a short video of Miss Cubitt's time with us.  Click here to view video

EASTER FUN DAY

On the last day of this term we had our Easter Fun Day.  Everyone got the opportunity to participate in different activities throughout the day. These included - making Easter Krispie buns, Easter Games, Easter DVD, Easter Craft, Painting Eggs and meeting chicks and lambs. We finished off with an Easter Egg hunt around the school grounds.  Everyone had great fun and we want to thank all the teachers and classroom assistants for organising this day.  We hope you all have a happy and safe Easter. School will re open on Monday 24th April.
