Readathon

Our Pyjama themed Readathon was a great success today with the hall busy all day with children settling down to read for enjoyment.  We also had a Crazy Hair Day for our Lenten Charity as part of our planned Thrilling Thursdays so the school was a strage place today!  A great day was had by all, we hope the Read to Succeed message has got across to everyone this week.

Literacy Assembly

Our Literacy Assembly for the pupils and parents of Pr.1 – 3 will take place on Friday 3rd March at 11.15am.  Children are asked to dress up as a character from fiction for this event.  Children can dress up across the school tomorrow to celebrate our Literacy Week.

School Blog

Our school blog will continue to update in regard of school news and what is up and coming in school. However  we are unable , at the moment,  to upload photographs that fully reflect the life of our school.  When this issue has been resolved we will provide a gallery of pictures reflecting our Literacy Week and School Celebrations for our Golden Jubilee.

Literacy Week Plans

All pupils were issued with an information leaflet last week detailing our work throughout Literacy Week.  Please note all classes will have timetabled slots for the Book Fair throughout the school week. Pyjama themed readathon takes place on Thursday as we celebrate World Book Day.  Literacy Dress Up Assembly for Pr. 1 – 3, parents are invited to attend, takes place on Friday 11.15am.

What’s Happening this Week

Our week ahead is action packed with all classes involved in our Literacy Week Celebrations.  All  classes have been busy completing the writing of their own books and will be involved in reading for enjoyment throughout the school week.  The Book Fair is in the school all week with plenty of opportunity to buy a new book.  All classes have also been extremely busy preparing for our forthcoming school concert to celebrate our 50th Anniversary.  It has been a real treat to take a trip down memory lane.  Tickets for our concert will go on sale this week.
