Now that all our donations have been gathered in and counted we are so proud to say that we raised £511.36 for Cancer Focus NI. We also have sent £105 direct to Cancer Focus to sign up to March a Million. Our donations in lieu of presents at Christmas came to a total of £860 making a final total of £1476.46 to be presented to Rosie from Cancer Focus NI in the coming weeks.
We cannot thank everyone enough for their generosity and we know that our very special Mrs Craig will be so so proud of everyone’s efforts. We can imagine her laugh and smile watching everyone stepping around the roads of Artigarvan and beyond and those famous words for a full month were “how many steps are you on now?”
Most of you will know what an amazing teacher Mrs Craig was at Artigarvan P.S, some of the parents will remember her fondly as Miss Chapman. We all have so many wonderful memories of Mrs Craig not just as a teacher but as an amazing friend to all the staff at our school. Together the staff of our school walked 7,087,769 steps in the month of March and we will be so proud to hand over all money raised in memory of such an amazing lady and teacher to so many children over the years 🥰
Thank you to everyone who supported this worthy cause 🌟
Y 5/6 all enjoyed bringing their bikes and scooters into school last Thursday!
We have been learning about measurement in Y5/6. Yesterday we worked with our study buddies to test if a persons height is 3 times the distance around their head. This was not the case for our class.
Today we went outside and measured the distance of our jumps. Apparently how far you can jump depends on your height. A lot of us recorded our jump to be the exact same length as our height!
Some of us almost jumped 2 metres!
Year 2/3 visited the greenhouse to tidy our planter and plant some seeds. Have a look at our photographs-we will keep you updated about what we grow 😊
Even though the weather wasn’t ‘playing ball’, we were! 🤣
We had so much fun this afternoon playing different games and learning cricket techniques. Thank you Brian!
Today was Year 2/3 turn to bring their bikes to school...it was lots of fun having a chance to play on our bikes and scooters outside. 🚴🏻♀️ 🚴🏻♂️
This morning Year 2/3 got their green fingers out as they made wildflower seed bombs. Each group had a tray of soil which they mixed with some grit, this made some very messy hands but in the words of Finn “this is so relaxing” and a lot of fun was had. The children loved mixing in the seeds and the water together then we took our trays outside to put our seed bombs out on the grass through the fence. We can’t wait to see if they grow.
What a way to start a Monday morning. This week our school are participating in the Sustran's Big Pedal. Today was our selected day to cycle/scoot to school and what a fantastic effort the nursery class have went to! 19 children either cycled or scooted to Nursery and we all had so much fun out in the 'big playground' on our bikes and scooters.
Well done everyone you all did amazing!!
PS: Even some of the grown ups brought their scooter to school too! :)
On Friday we completed our one hour skipping challenge!!!! Some of the boys and girls wanted to keep skipping! We brought out the large skipping rope and had lots of fun with that whilst also keeping up our individual skipping.
What better way to celebrate finishing out challenges than with a bag of skips!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I am so proud of all the boys and girls for really pushing themselves. We all really enjoyed it and it made us feel super good 😁😁😁
