• Golden Ticket Winners

  Thu 23 Feb 2017

  Well done to our P5 pupils who are racing onto the Golden Ticket Wall with Accelerated Reader! We now have pupils who have read over twenty books and quizzed correctly on those books from late October. That is a tremendous achievement! Well done to Mrs Clarke who runs the scheme and actively promotes reading among our P5's. Miss Armstrong and Mr Glenny are working hard to encourage all our pupils and it really is paying dividends!

  We have recently invested in a large number of new books for the AR library and hope to extend the scheme next year to P5 & 6!

• School Choir Of The Year!

  Sun 05 Feb 2017
  Our Senior Choir attended the regional heats of BBC Radio Ulster School Choir Of The Year in Armagh.They made it through to the regional heats having recorded a CD at the initial audition stages. The children sang so well and were great ambassadors for the school. Five of  our girls, were interviewed for the radio broadcast, Alicia, Anna, Caitlyn, Rebecca and Rebekah. We were so proud of them. They talked about how they enjoy singing together and how singing makes them feel good about themselves. They were able to talk about the songs they had chosen and why they enjoyed them. It was great to see and hear other choirs too. Mrs Marks and Mr Glenny were very happy with the judge's comments - lots of praise for our great rhythm and tuneful unison singing. We can't announce the results yet, you'll have to tune into BBC Radio Ulster on 19th March!! Well Done!!
