Our Literacy Week had a great legacy as children shared their chapter books with each other across classes.  Here we have a few pictures that capture how proud the children felt about their writing as they shared their work with their peers.  Great work boys and girls!!

Our Cookery Afterschool Club is growing from strength to strength and the food smells delicious.  The children have been learning  how to cut food safely using the bridge and claw method.  So we are happy to report no kitchen accidents.  Here are a few pictures of our young chefs at work.

On Friday the school threw it’s doors open once again to parents and grandparents as we hosted a Daffodil Tea for Marie Curie, one of our Lenten Charities.  The hall was packed, with additional seating being laid on to accommodate all our visitors. The boys and girls, resplendent in yellow for the occasion entertained with a medley of poetry and song.  Many thanks to our wonderful violinists who also entertained and to our House Captains and Vice Captains who took charge of proceedings. They did a wonderful job and lead the event beautifully. Thank you to  all who attended and for your very generous donations. We hope you enjoyed the morning.

A highly entertaining morning took place last week as the boys and girls of Room 12 and Room 15 shared their learning.  The boys and girls of Room 12 shared the novels they had written during our Literacy Week.  Children read enthusiastically and enjoyed the opportunity to impress others with their novels.  Mrs.McGlone reported that she was really pleased that this was successfully received by both classes. Well done authors!
