Dogs Trust workshops
Mon 16 Dec 2024We had a visit from the Dogs Trust last week. Julie was in with every class and taught us all how to keep safe around dogs. She told us how to treat dogs and what we should and should not do when we are near dogs. We all really enjoyed her presentations. This Friday (20th) we will be wearing our own clothes to school and we are asking for a small donation for the Dogs Trust so we can support them in their work in Northern Ireland.

Thu 12 Dec 2024Unfortunately, due to financial viability issues, our PTA have had to take the difficult decision to cancel the Drive-In Movie planned for Wednesday 18th December. Please return any tickets previously purchased for a full refund. We apologise for the disappointment this may cause some of our pupils.

Santa Run to celebrate Daily Mile
Fri 06 Dec 2024This morning all pupils in Bocombra took part in a run around our gravel pitch in their Christmas jumpers. Our cross country runners led us around wearing Santa hats to celebrate the Daily Mile, which encourage children to walk, jog or run for 15 minutes each day as it has been proven to help increase concentration levels, reduce challenging behaviours and improve attainment. We all enjoyed being out in the fresh air and getting some exercise done before we enjoyed our delicious Christmas dinner.

Cinderella & Rockerfella Performed by Key Stage 2 Pupils
Thu 05 Dec 2024This week we were delighted to welcome parents, grandparents and friends to our four performances of Cinderella & Rockerfella. Each child in P. 5, 6 and 7 was involved whether they were singing in the chorus, dancing on the stage or acting out roles such as Buttons, Teaser the dog, Ugly Sisters, Fairies, Town Crier and many more. The Key Stage 2 teachers and assistants were so proud of how well all the children showcased how wonderfully talented they are and, through all of their hard work rehearsing their lines and songs, they entertained everyone putting on a great show!
