Zara got some very exciting post in the last few weeks – from some very important people! Zara wrote to the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Charles to tell them all about her Eco activities at home and how she took part in our ‘Litter Less at Home’ campaign during lockdown. The Duke and the Prince were too busy to reply personally but their secretaries wrote a lovely reply thanking Zara for her letters.
Zara has also planted a tree for the Queen’s Green Canopy – it is brilliant to see her continuing her environmental activities at home.
Zara is such an example to all of us of how to look after her environment and it was so inspiring to see all the activities that her and her younger sister Ava carried out when they were at home – they did lots of litter picking, planting and poster making. They were the only pupils who took part in every single one of the 6 weeks of the Litter Less campaign which was fantastic.
We are very proud of Zara and her royal correspondence – we hope her enthusiasm and care for the environment will continue for many more years!
Our first School Council tuckshop was a huge success today. School Council enjoyed getting to serve lots of pupils from all our classes, from Nursery up to Primary 7. It was a hectic morning!
They made an impressive profit of £300 and they have still plenty of stock which they would like to sell in Term 3 at another tuckshop event.
Thank you to everyone who supported us.
School Council are raising money for a brand new outside seating area near the adventure playground with wheelchair access by running a tuckshop on Friday 8th April in the Assembly Hall. There will be lots of different treats and also some healthy options for you to choose from.
Nursery, P1 and P2 pupils need to bring in £1 and they will get to choose 3 items. P3 to P7 are allowed to bring in £2 or £3 to spend at the tuckshop and prices will range from 20p to 50p. Healthy options will be breadsticks, Frubes, Peperami and fruit. Treat options will be small chocolate bars, mini donuts and Haribo.
A price list has been sent out as a notification and it has also been saved in the Letters section of the website. We have already raised £500 with our Cash for Clobber but we need over £2000 for the outdoor area so we are going to be having more fundraising events in Term 3.
Thank you for your support and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!
Congratulations to P1 Mrs Freeburn, P3/4 Mrs Reilly, P6/7 Mr Speers and P7 Mrs Dunne for winning our Walk and Wheel competition. We had some very impressive percentages of pupils walking, cycling and scooting to school so thank you to parents and helpers for encouraging as much active travel as possible over the last 2 weeks. It was a very close competition for some classes so we had to have joint winners for P5 - P7 classes as there was only 0.5% between them!
The winning classes will have a movie afternoon with hot chocolate and treats some day this week. Well done everyone!
On Friday our Boys' Hockey Team travelled to Stormont to take part in the NI Primary Schools Finals. The team played seven matches in the group stages. They won 2 games, lost 2 games and drew 3 games which placed them in the quarter finals of the cup play offs. They played Donaghey PS in the quarter finals and despite excellent play by the boys they were narrowly defeated by 1 goal. Well done to the boys who gave it their all and represented Bocombra so well. Thanks to all of the parents who supported the boys at the tournament.
On Wednesday the Bocombra Girls' Hockey Team travelled to Stormont to take part in the NI Primary Schools Finals. The team played eight matches in the group stages. They won 5 games, lost 2 and drew 1 and this placed them in the quarter finals of the cup play offs. They played Portrush PS in the quarter final and although it was a very exciting and close game they lost by 1 goal. The team scored some super goals throughout the day and everyone played very well. The standard was very high and the girls did themselves proud. Thanks to all of the parents who supported us at the tournament and congratulations to all of the girls for representing Bocombra so well.
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
