• Past Pupil - Max Hastings

  Tue 03 Dec 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  'Good things come to those who wait' goes the saying. Well that was certainly true for Max Hastings, one of our past pupils. We got a lovely message from his mum telling us how he had finally received a reply from Jeff Kinney, the author of the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', after writing to him when he was in P6. Max is now in Year 11 at Ashfield Boys! Thanks for sharing this fantastic story Lynda and it's great to hear how well he is doing.

  

• Maths with Parents

  Mon 02 Dec 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  It's fantastic to see the number of games and activities that many of our P1-P4 children have completed at home with their parents after registering on the 'Maths with Parents' online platform. Some lovely photos have also been uploaded as you can see. If your child isn't registered yet, please talk to your child's teacher or our maths co-ordinator, Mr Ryden, for help in getting signed up to this super resource that helps you and your child enjoy exploring maths together in line with the mastery methods being taught in school.

  

• Well Done Jack

  Mon 02 Dec 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  Jack from P2 was delighted to show off the trophy his East Belfast 2013s team won last weekend at the Clonduff tournament. Well done to Jack and the rest of his teammates!

  

• The spirit of Christmas

  Mon 02 Dec 2019 Mr Hutchinson
  Mr Ryden has been so impressed by the fantastic attitude and work ethic of these two children from his class. In between preparing for the AQE tests and completing their normal homework, Jay Jay and Olivia also managed to find the time to write a 300-word short story on the theme of 'The Spirit of Christmas' for BBC Northern Ireland's 'Two Minute Tales' competition. The organisers received over 1300 entries and although they weren't shortlisted, they received these lovely certificates. Keep up the hard work guys!
