The children in P4/5 decided to make Christmas cards for the children in St.Patrick’s P5 class. They have recently completed their shared education project together and developed some lovely friendships during that time. It is great to see the children keen to keep in touch with each other.
The children in P4/5 made Christmas cards for the residents of the nursing home as part of the community project. They enjoyed doing this and hope that their card brightens up someone’s Christmas.

With thanks to Coaching for Christ for their support, we have been able to enter a school team in a local football tournament. The team below played against five other schools, and we were delighted when they were second overall. Well done!
They are all looking very well in their new kit. Harry (P7) had previously won an art competition and spent his ‘school prize money’ on new kit. Many thanks.
With the cost of living crisis impacting families across Northern Ireland, PlayBoard has developed a new resource highlighting a range of low-cost play ideas.
Play is central to children’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. All children have a natural urge to play and that need will remain, even during times of economic hardship. Play activity does not need to be expensive or involve costly toys and gadgets - there are many ‘free and found’ play opportunities that already exist within our schools and other settings.
Play in times of hardship has practical play ideas and activities which can be enjoyed at little or no cost. https://bit.ly/playintimesofhardship
We were pleased to recognise children’s efforts to be ‘Kind and Caring’ and ‘Remembering to Choose a Healthy Breaktime snack’ in our November awards. As lots of our children do make efforts in both these areas this was a very hard choice for teachers to make. Well done to those children who got awards.
At this assembly, Lynda McAuley, CEF, shared a Christmas assembly with children and very kindly gave each child a calendar.
With the help of expert musician, Anne McCambridge, and in conjunction with the Rasharkin Village Association, P6/7 have been busy preparing for community carol singing in Rasharkin village. Anne has worked with the children to sing in parts and rounds. It seems like we will be in a for real treat on Friday 16th December.
