  Mrs Adams loved Abigail's talk on her favourite place in Northern Ireland as part of their P4 topic. She told the class all about the Fairy River Cottages in the Mourne Mountains. It looks beautiful Abigail!

  

• Missing Library Books

  Tue 12 Nov 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  Unfortunately Mrs Walker is still missing 50 books from our library from before Halloween. Last year over 200 books were lost. If we continue to lose books at this rate there will be no library left. It has left us with no choice but to start to now ask for parents to pay for the full value of the book rather than £5 which we had done previously. If the fine isn’t paid no further books will be issued. Please take 5 minutes today to check around the house to see if your child hasn't returned theirs or ask their teacher if you are unsure. Thanks in advance.

  

• Well Done Amirah

• AQE Parent and Pupil Relaxation

  Wed 06 Nov 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  As many of our P7s get ready to sit the first AQE test on Saturday, our parent officer, Rachel Howe, is organising an 'AQE Parent and Pupil Relaxation' workshop on Friday morning (9.15-10.15). Exams can sometimes causes stress and it can be difficult to manage. She will demonstrate a few simple relaxation techniques to try at home. Please contact Rachel if you would like more details.

• Maths With Parents

  Mon 04 Nov 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  If you have a child in P1-P4, please take 5 minutes today to register them with 'Maths with Parents' if you haven't already. Remember that if they were registered in P2 or P3 last year, you simply need to log on as before and select your child's new class.
