The Primary 6 & 7 children will continue to participate in the swimming programme in the Lakeland Forum every Tuesday throughout February.  The Primary 7 children will have their lessons in the morning and the P6 children will continue their lessons in the afternoon.  A letter will be sent home this week RE swimming cost.

Mr O’Hare will continue his brass lessons on Tuesdays.

Health Week

A note was sent home yesterday about Health Week 2022 which will run from Monday 7th to Thursday 10th February.  The Primary 7 children will run a healthy tuck shop during the week.  Each class has been allocated a day to visit the tuck shop:

P1 & P2:               Monday

P3 & P4:               Tuesday

P5 & P6:               Wednesday

P7:                       Friday

Children can bring in a maximum of £1 for the healthy tuck shop.

Children’s Mental Health Week

Children’s Mental Health Week will also run from 7th to 13th February.  Each class will participate in a variety of activities to help promote growth and change, including art & drama, exercise, meditation, yoga, breathing and positive mindset thinking.

P7 Post-Primary Admissions

The online portal is now open to apply for a post-primary school place and will close at 4pm on Wednesday 23rd February.  Please see the EA website for criteria of the local schools as well as tutorial videos on how to apply.

CORE NI

The school will be working with CORE NI to bring a sports programme to the school which we are hoping will take place every Wednesday during the school day.  CORE NI will also be taking an afterschool club.  The programme for P1 and P2 will take place between 2-3pm with another group taking part from 3-4pm.  We will be rotating the classes to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to participate.  We are hoping this will start the week after the Half-Term break. 

More information will follow.

Spanish

Spanish classes will continue every Thursday.

P5 Soccer

Davide will continue his soccer programme with the P5 children every Monday.

P7 Afterschool Soccer

The afterschool soccer programme for the P7 children will continue to run during the month of February.

School Dinners

Please send in dinner money on a Monday in an envelope with your child's name clearly written on it along with what days they are taking dinner.  It is hard to keep track of what money has been sent in when we don't know what days the children are taking dinner.  Please also send in an envelope with each child instead of each family. 

The dinner menu is available on the school website but a paper copy can be sent home on request.
