Congratulations to the children pictured below who received certificates for: Being Kind and Caring, Showing Resilience, Accelerated Reader, Reading Eggs and Fast Phonics. Evie and Izabelle shared the Accelerated Reader cup, both who had almost ten times their target. Joy received an award as our first millionaire reader this year.
Pupils performed two plays to a packed audience. Well done to all the pupils who put on a great show. Many thanks to all the staff for their hard work in preparing the children behind the scenes and to Rasharkin Presbyterian Church for the use of their facilities.
We were delighted to be able to host so many grandparents and adults for Christmas lunch, with our pupils in P3-5. Many thanks to Mrs Henry and Mrs Peden who arranged games for everyone to play together and Mrs Logue for all her hard work in the kitchen. It was delightful to be part of the fun and enjoy this opportunity thanks to a grant from Linking Generations NI and the Public Health Agency.
We have been delighted to be able to offer parents the opportunity to drop off their child at school from 8.00am. Children can stay in Breakfast Club until school opens and then join their usual class. Children can have a choice of cereal, toast and eggs. After they have finished their breakfast they can play table top games, or football and table tennis for the more energetic.
We have decided to continue running breakfast club in the New Year, as it has been so enjoyable for the children. To book for Breakfast Club, parents should send money and bookings at least 24hours before (to help plan staffing). Children who come to school on the early bus are also welcome to join Breakfast Club for toast and games (50p).
P3/4 have been working very hard to collect enough gems in their class jar to earn their next treat. Today each child brought in a toy from home to play with alongside their friends.
This morning the children from P5, P6 and P7 went to the Fairhill Shopping Centre to sing on the Radio Cracker Christmas Radio Station. They sang three songs from their “Christmas with the Aliens” musical.
Thanks to the parents who came along to hear us singing.
P6/7 enjoyed Drama, Technology, Home Economics and Science during a taster session at Ballymoney. Many thanks to staff at Ballymoney High for inviting us.
Well done to our football team who, once again, were unbeaten at the tournament on Wednesday.
Primary 1 Applications for school year beginning September 2024 will open on Tuesday 9 January 2024 at 12 noon. Have a look at our flyer here, or the Admissions tab of our website. We would be delighted to welcome visitors to our school on Wednesday 10th January 2024.
P6 and P7 have been taking part in the ‘Shaken’ Programme where they have been thinking about things they can do to help them, if their lives are ‘shaken’.
Having completed the Shaken Programme, the children had a ‘Pizza Party Celebration’. They were reminded that each of them are unique and decorated their own pizzas to illustrate this. All enjoyed freshly cooked pizzas and then were presented with certificates.
Many thanks to a grant from Northern Area, Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing and Suicide Prevention Model Groups that made this possible.
