The Primary One class had a very special birthday party recently where they celebrated everyone's birthday. The children worked hard planning and preparing for their party. They made shopping lists, menus, cards, party hats, place mats, invitations and lastly rice krispy buns.
The school Christmas Performance will take place on Monday 21st of December at 7pm in the parochial hall. The children are all working hard rehearsing for the big night. We would appreciate any assistance parents could give toward organising costumes.
Primary 1 children had great fun creating their own birthday cakes with the month of their birthday on their cake.
The children from P3 to P7 have been taking part in guided reading lessons on Friday afternoons. Children from the more senior classes have been working with the younger children and helping them to develop interest and fluency in this area. We would encourage the children to bring in reading material from home such as newspaper reports or any other resource that they would like to read.
Congratulations to the boys' football team who won all their matches in the recent Tri- County competition in Loughview Sports centre in Dungannon.
Mrs O'Lone's class were set the task to design storybooks for a younger audience. They designed questionaires to gather information about the type of story their audience would enjoy. They then created storybooks for each child in P2 & P3. They particularly enjoyed the shared reading session.
