Welcome Back to School
Welcome back to everyone at Newmains Primary. An especially big welcome to all of our wonderful new Primary 1 children who are settling into their classes well.
Commonwealth Week
Everyone had a fantastic time during Commonwealth Week.
Adam in P2 guessed the name of the NPS Commonwealth Mascot correctly. He’s called Max. Adam won a pass for the Time Capsule and can’t wait to go swimming and ice skating with his family.
All of the classes loved designing their own Commonwealth Trainers which made it so tricky for the Health Committee to choose a winner. Miss Dempsey will be helping the lucky winners to make their trainers very soon and we will post photos to show you how fantastic they all are.
All of the classes did fantastic research on the Commonwealth countries and sports and enjoyed sharing their learning with the other children at our special assembly. We had songs, dances, crafts, poems, posters among many other creative presentations. Well done everyone!
Our Rugby, Basketball and Tae Kwon Do specialists worked with all of the classes and were a huge success.

The lucky winners of our Commonwealth trainers design competition have also been chosen and will be revealed tomorrow.
