• October Football Festival

  Sun 19 Oct 2025

  On Friday 17th October the football team took part in a football blitz at Drumgor PS. The team played really well in their group, beating one team 5-0. They finished top of their group before playing the other 3 best teams in the final stage - all very close matches.

  There was great football played, some fantastic goals scored and we only conceded a couple of goals, thanks to our super keeper.

  Well done to the team - bring on the next tournament!

  

• Marvellous Maths Week.

  Fri 17 Oct 2025

  To celebrate Maths Week this week we worked together with partner classes across the school to complete a variety of practical and exciting maths activities. The children relished the opportunity to work together and learn from each other using Numeracy.

  We also had a Maths Week Homework competition on the run up to Maths Week with the entries demonstrating excellent creativity and understanding when it came to spending money within a certain budget. Well done to our winners of this competition - the teachers had a very hard decision to make to choose their winners!

  On Friday we celebrated the end of Maths Week by inviting parent visitor into school to talk to P4-P7 about their jobs and how they use maths within them. Both visitors and children alike enjoyed the experience with the children gaining a valuable insight into maths beyond the classroom. Huge thank you to our visitors for coming in and helping to make our Maths Week a roaring success.

  Primary 6 & 7 girls had the opportunity to take part in a dance session with ABC council dance coach Christie. They had great fun and worked hard to learn a few new dances.
