Learning about toys




The Children in Mrs Magill's class are learning all about toys. They have been making junk art robots, painting and writing about their favourite toys and making toys from dough.

Learning about the past



The children from P7 were sampling life 100 years ago in school when they dressed up in their victorian clothes and visited the old school house in Armagh's Palace Stables. The event was filmed with the help of the Amma Centre and will be part of a film which will be shown to parents at a later date.

The Education Minister John O'Dowd came to visit on Wednesday 29th of February. The minister met with the children and officially opened our new playground space planting a tree in the garden. It was a very important day for the school and one which the Minister enjoyed immensely.
