Our annual sports day and fun day was a huge success! Have a look at our pictures.
Today the children from P5/6 and P2/3 walked to Artigarvan Park for the morning. We had great fun playing football, parachute games, skipping and playing on the apparatus. We even had a visit from the ice-cream van before we made our way back to school.
Well done to all the children who participated in Sports Day. As always, competitors were strong resulting in a few trophy ties! We are extremely proud of everyone who took part and perservered to reach the finish line in the races.
Well done to all our Year 6 & 7 children who were involved in our swimming scheme at Riversdale Leisure Centre. Certificates were presented today at assembly.
Today children from year 5 and 6 had the opportunity to take part in a music workshop delivered by Andrew and Elliott from 'Peace Building through music'. They brought a selection of instruments with them, all of which we had the opportunity to try out.
On Friday we had a fantastic treat of milkshake and brownies from the Enterprise team. We had to pay by ourselves and collect our change, which was a big responsibility!
We are so fortunate to have had a visit in school from an award-winning author, Stuart Reid. He shared snippets from his latest series of books- 'The Gorgeous George' series. The parts that he shared with us were hilarious, they also included alliteration which has inspired some of the children to include this in their writing more often. Stuart shared stories behind the inspiration for his writing, including a story about a panda from Edinburgh Zoo, these were shared to us with hilarious video clips as Stuart read poems and storied from his books.
Have a look at his website below for more information about his books and writing.
