Our school hockey team travelled to Foyle College for a localised blitz competition. On a bitterly cold morning the girls started with a very strong performance beating Culmore Primary School 5 nil. In our second game, the temperature was raised even further with another 5 nil win over Drumahoe Primary School. In our third game we played Limavady Central Primary School where a great team effort produced a four nil win. Our fourth and final game saw the girls produce their best team performance against a very strong Ebrington Primary School team, the girls fought well and came out 2 nil winners. A massive credit has to all girls as playing conditions were far from ideal. Well done girls.

The children in Mr Campbell’s class were very excited to welcome Baby Joanna and her mum for their first Roots of Empathy visit. This theme is called ‘Meet the Baby’. The children talked about what babies can and cannot do. They weighed and measured Baby Joanna. Everyone enjoyed meeting Baby Joanna and her Mummy Ashley.

We had our second visit with Baby Joanna and her Mum. Our theme is crying and we discussed why babies might cry. We also talked about the importance of being gentle with babies. The children sang some nursery rhymes to Baby Joanna and watched her on our special green blanket.
Year 5/6 treated pupils and parents to a lovely class assembly all about harvest. We all enjoyed what they had to say and their beautiful singing. Well done Mrs McClelland and Year 5/6 boys and girls.
Unfortunately due to the weather in June our school fun day had to be postponed to September. Thankfully the weather was beautiful and we had a great day together with the families and friends of Artigarvan Primary School. A big thank you to everyone to helped out on the day and to everyone who supported this event.
Our school choir were delighted to be asked to take part in the opening of the Wedding Dress Festival at Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church. The choir entertained the congregation with a few songs including ‘This Little Light of mine’ and ‘Shine Jesus Shine’. The choir then had a chance to look around the fabulous display of wedding dresses and enjoy some treats which were kindly provided by the organisers before returning to school.
During the month of September we have had a busy month learning lots of new things. Our little minds have been thinking a lot about all the new routines but we managing very well and settling into our new surroundings. We have made lots of new friends also.
