Our Pr.1 pupils entertained each other by presenting a gymnastic performance this week. The children had been working on
Jumping – Star jump, tuck jump, pencil jump
Balancing – wide shap, curled shape, twisted shape,
Travelling – hopping, running, leaping, skipping, jumping, tip-toeing
Rolling – pencil roll, forward roll, curled role, backwards roll, roly poly
They made a sequence of movements, which included jumps, balances, rolls and turns and performed our sequence to an audience!
Room 1 performed to room 2 and room 2 performed to room 1.
They reported that they enjoyed the experience greatly and are now preparing themselves for the Olympics in a few years time!
Pr.7 Trip
Our Pr.7 pupils enjoyed a fabulous trip on Tuesday to the Ski Centre and then off to the swimming at the Time Capsule. The boys and girls voted on their favoured destination for a school trip and this was the unanimous vote as this has always been a traditional visit by Pr.7 pupils. Both Mrs. Murphy and Mrs.Hanlon congratulated the children on their exemplary behaviour on the day. Well done boys and girls.
Pr. 4 – 6 visit Five Sisters Zoo
Our Pr.4 – 6 pupils left the school on mass this week to visit Five Sisters Zoo as part of their work on Biodiversity this term. The feedback from the children on their return was extremely positive and demonstrated that the children had enjoyed a most successful trip and had learned a great deal. I received a phonecall just as I was leaving school last night to pass on compliments to the school for the wonderful behaviour and polite manners that were on show from all our boys and girls at the zoo. This was a delightful surprise and our children are to be commended for being excellent ambassadors for the school. Well done boys and girls.
Sunflower Tea
Our first Sunflower Tea was a great success with a fabulous turnout from parents. Today we raised the fantastic sum of over £320. This was a wonderful sum of money and we warmly thank the generosity of our parents and grandparents who joined us this morning. Our guests were entertained with a medley of music from our talented young musicians while they had their tea. We are delighted that we have so many pianists and violinists. It was also wonderful to be joined by some of our children who attend the Saturday Traditional Music Group who entertained by playing the penny whistle and the banjo!! Later on in the morning our lovely and enthusiastic Pr.1 – 3 pupils joined us to sing songs and recite some poetry. As a school we had raised money from our Daffodil Tea and Easter Bonnet Parade and this money joined the sum raised today. We were able to give Andy Flynn from St.Andrew’s Hospice a cheque that came to the grand total of £1,000. Andy informed us that the school has raised the staggering sum of over £15,000 for St.Andrew’s Hospice. Quite an achievement. Let’s hope we can continue the great tradition of supporting the Hospice.
Summer Fete
Our summer fete was a great success and as promised here are the photographs to give you a flavour of this annual event in the school calendar. Our P.T.A. have reported that over £1,200 was raised on the day. This was a fantastic sum of money and we thank everyone for their great support. Our great thanks is also extended to all P.T.A. members who worked so hard to get everything organised for the event and for their great work on the day. A special thanks is extended to Mrs.Robb, P.T.A. Chairperson, who has now retired from her post as Chairperson. She has made a marvellous contribution to the school over the last 6 years and the P.T.A. and school are sad to see her step down from her post. Her dedication and commitment to the school are wonderful and we sincerely hope she remains an active member of Our P.T.A. Our young musicians performed on the day and entertained everyone with their musical talents. They were a treat to listen to and watch.
Sports Day Pr.4 – 7
Here is our picture gallery from yesterday’s great sports day. The competitive spirit shone through on the day with children striving to do their best and have great fun at the same time. Feedback from parents was highly positive so we can look forward to a similar format for next year. Let’s hope the weather will be a kind to us next year too!!
Pr.4 – 7 Sports Afternoon
Our Sports Day continued in the afternoon with a fantastic turn out from parents who came along to support our senior pupils. As soon as I get the photos of the event I will update our blog to show off the sporting prowess of our sportstars!!
