P6/7 enjoyed the chance to help keep our school looking good and be outside whilst, planting some bulbs violas and ornamental cabbages in the front bed.
P6/7 have enjoyed starting work on their Shared Education project. With support from ‘IntoFilm’, they will be working with children from St. Patrick's PS to create film reviews. They started their project with a trip to see ‘Asterix’.
We are delighted to be able to continue with this scheme that raised money for our school. Filled bags can be left outside the front door or in the disabled toilet area.
Many thanks to our P6/7 ‘poppy shop staff’. The ‘Poppy Shop’ has been busy and we were delighted to raise £81 for this good cause.
