Anti-Bullying Workshop and Play
Our Pr.7 pupils were involved in anti-bullying workshop on Tuesday. They then presented a play to the whole school in the afternoon with a powerful message about bullying behaviour and it’s impact on victims. Their play also featured scenes that included the impact of cyber-bullying. You really couldn’t hear a pin drop in the hall as this powerful message was so perfectly shared. A short question and answer session at the end really illustrated how well the children had inderstood the great work of Pr.7. Excellent work boys and girls. You were a real credit to the school.
Happy New Year
A warm welcome is extended to our school community for the start of 2017 and a new school term. This term will be an extremely busy term at school as we welcome visits by HMI and the authority.

Christmas Concert
Wednesday afternoon saw our whole school perform to a packed hall of parents and grandparents. They were entertained by a thoroughly polished performance from our wonderfully talented Pr.1 and 2 pupils who performed their nativity Census Sums. They were amazing. Later our young musicians entertained followed by classes who sang a medley of carols and Christmas songs. We hope everyone left feeling full of the festive spirit. Our final performance takes place this evening. Below is our slideshow of highlights from Wednesday afternoon.
Christmas Concert
Our Infant Nativity ‘Census Sums’ takes place tomorrow afternoon and Thursday evening. Limited tickets remain available for the two performances. Children from Pr. 1 and 2 have been notified by letter in regard of what to wear for their performances. Pupils from Pr. 3 – 7 have been notified by their class teacher in regard of what to wear. If in doubt, please send your child to school in their uniform and they can bring along their own clothes for the afternoon performance (Christmas jumpers, bright clothes). We are looking forward to welcoming you to school over the next two days. Hopefully you will be filled with the Christmas Spirit if it has not struck you yet!!
