Today was a super exciting day as we welcomed back the whole school for the first time since Christmas!

Year 5/6 made the most of the dry weather and played games outside, it was so much fun!

It was really lovely to have everyone together again and we can’t wait to welcome the rest of our class back next week.  All the boys and girls have settled back in so well and I am so proud of them all.

Some overheard quotes of the day ๐Ÿ‘‚:

“I can’t wait to come to school again tomorrow!”

”I can’t choose my favourite part of today”

”it’s been a long 8 months” ๐Ÿ˜‚

Today the weather had picked up so we finally got outside to play. The children were very excited and we had a wonderful outdoor session with lots of learning opportunities. Enjoy browsing through our photos.

This week we welcomed back our children into the classroom and such fun we had.  The children settled back in so quickly, remembering routines and adapting to life back with their friends.  We are so proud of the fantastic week they had, so we thought they deserved a little treat today. 

We had a visit from our local ice-cream man, Mr Whippy, which brought a smile to everyone's face on a Friday morning. Big smiles all round!!

 

Thank you Mr Whippy

We were all excited on Sunday night to see how many steps we had clocked up together for our first week of our March a Million Challenge. The number of steps that everyone sent in was AMAZING and our grand total was 1,552,219 steps! 

Well done everyone-we will put another £5 each in our donation box. Thank you also to our families who have sent in donations for Cancer Focus NI, it is greatly appreciated. 

Our star steppers this week were:

1st: Mrs Patterson 175,225 steps

2nd: Anne 124,016 steps

Have a look at some photographs of our travels to get our steps up and once again a huge THANK YOU to everyone for taking part and for all the donations. I wonder can we beat our score next week???
