All children in Nursery, P1 and P2 received a free book from Mr Linton, a recently retired GP. Mr Linton was unable to visit his two granddaughters in Scotland over lockdown and was encouraged by his wife to write stories to communicate to the girls. It proved to be a huge success and he decided to turn his first story into a book. He delivered a copy for each child in Nursery, P1 and P2 and if anyone would like to make a donation to the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice Mr Linton would be very grateful. We hope you all enjoy this book 📚
Thank you so much to Clayton from Fulton’s Pumpkin Patch for our pumpkin plants. These are a lovely addition to our new Pollinator Garden. We hope to see lovely pumpkins by Halloween 🎃
A huge congratulations goes to Danny, Daisy and Katie who have now read one million words in Accelerated Reading. A special mention goes to Bethany who has now read two million words. Well done everyone, keep up the reading and enjoy your treats!
We are so proud of our new outdoor learning area hidden at the back of school and nursery. Today Lord Lieutenant for Co. Tyrone Mr Robert Scott officially opened our new pollinator garden and outdoor learning area. Mr Scott also planted a tree to mark the Coronation of King Charles.
This area was funded by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Live Here Love Here School Pollinator Garden grant scheme.
We hope to have many years of fun in this new area and would like to thank everyone who made it happen and thank everyone who visited today. 🪴
Thank you so much to everyone who sent in plastic lids (especially to the family who sourced lots and lots of lids). We now have five boxes ready to be collected tomorrow. Keep sending in any plastic lids you have at home.
Every Thursday, year 5s will be taking part in Badminton in Artigarvan Hall. Last Thursday, George - our instructor - taught us how to hold our rackets properly and taught us how to serve. We all really enjoyed it and are looking forward to learning more this week!
All parents at Artigarvan Primary School are invited to an afternoon tea at the Maldron Hotel on Monday 5th June at 12noon. This is fully funded by Action Mental Health as a thank you for your support to the Our Generation programme. Please let the school know by Monday if you can attend this event.
On what felt like the wettest day of the year our Year 6 and Year 7 got their wellies and coats on and walked to Catherine’s Bridge on the outskirts of the village. The men from the Loughs Agency who have been teaching the children through the Salmon Ambassadors programme met Year 6 and Year 7 at the bridge (on the Glenmornan River).
The children had lots of fun taking samples from the water, looking for bugs and learning lots of new things…no one mentioned rain!!!
Thank you to the Loughs Agency for this opportunity and thank you Year 6, Year 7 and staff for braving the weather ☔️
We had a lovely party lunch together today followed by our tea party. Children could decorate their buns/biscuits and dance the afternoon away before home time. Have a lovely long weekend everyone!
Thank you to the ice cream van for calling to school today so that we could all have a coronation cone 🍦
After our ice cream treat we paraded around the hall in our crowns that we made in class this week 👑
