Year 5 had a fun trip to Gortin on Wednesday for part of our Shared Education. We went along with Donemana PS and St Michaels PS. We participated in scavenger hunt activities, learnt about the different types of trees in the forest and fun facts about squirrels. We found things from the forest and made art work from the items. Our group spelt out the message, "Don't litter". We all had so much fun in the play park before coming back to school.
P1/2 had lots of fun today making pancakes with Mr Henderson and Anne. Have a look at our photographs to see how they turned out.
We read the story ‘Rabbit’s Pancake Picnic’ talked about how to make pancakes. The also completed a sequence activity recalling the method!

Well done to our Year 7 pupils who came a very impressive third place in the Road Safety Quiz at the Guildhall. There were 9 other teams in their heat. They were delighted to receive a beautiful medal and some road safety goodies.
Have a look at this video from Action Mental Health. Action Mental Health visited our school recently as part of Children’s Mental Health Week 2023.
Some of our Year 4-7’s travelled to Holy Cross College for the St Mary’s Cross Country event. They had lots of fun and brought home some medals also! Thank you to St Mary’s for organising.
For Children's Mental Health week we all participated in an online art lesson with Sinead McDermott from the art and design factory. Sinead’s aim was to reduce anxiety and stress through art and all the boys and girls really enjoyed it!
Mrs McClelland has been absolutely blown away with the talent in her class this week. The boys and girls were set a topic homework where they had to think of a local place that is special to them and create it from scrap materials. This ties in well with our topic ‘Being and Belonging’. The children then showed off their projects to the class and shared why their place was special to them.
Well done boys and girls!
Some children from Year 6 and Year 7 travelled to Foyle College for a hockey blitz. Artigarvan teams had lots of fun and won or drew every game.
Today we participated in lots of fun activities all about internet safety. Firstly, we worked in groups to rank certain situation and scenarios in order from highest to lowest risk to children, most seen on the internet to least seen and most annoying to least annoying. We then talked about how our bodies feel if we experience any of those situations and who we can talk to. In groups we each drew a person and thought of adjectives of how they would feel.
Finally, we created our own listening superheroes. We talked about what makes a good listener and played role play games on how to listen.
