Today we enjoyed a trip to watch the Ulster Orchestra perform a special schools’ concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. This was a fantastic opportunity to hear live music and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. We were introduced to the different sections of the orchestra and listened to music based on the theme of ‘Our Wonderful World’. The children’s favourite piece was ‘The Bare Necessities’ and the percussion section playing on Dustbins and saucepans was also enjoyed by all. We also joined in at the end of the concert to sing the classic song, ‘ What a Wonderful World’. Unfortunately recording and photography was not allowed during the performance but here are a few pictures of our day out.
This afternoon we enjoyed a visit from the Dog’s Trust. We learnt how dogs should be treated in order to keep them and ourselves safe. Also, congratulations to this month’s teacher certificate winners and our GTBG winner for Term 1A.
It is hard to believe that the new academic year is just around the corner! I hope that everyone has had a super, restful break, and is ready to begin a new school year.
In preparation for coming back, please be reminded of some arrangements for the new school year.
Back to School
Pupils from P2-7 return to school on Wednesday 28th August; they will finish on this day at 12noon. This will be the case for Thursday 29th August and Friday 30th August. Pupils should have a healthy snack with them on these days. There will be no school dinners on these days.
Full school days, with school dinners, will begin on Monday 2nd September. Arrangements for Nursery and Primary 1 children are different and have been shared separately – please contact the class teacher if you are unsure of anything.
Meet the Teacher
This year, we are changing the format of our ‘meet the teacher event.’ On Thursday 29th August, parents are invited into school from 12:30pm to 2:30pm to go and meet their child/ren’s new teacher. Teachers will be in their rooms, with a handout regarding key information about their class, and parents are welcome to visit and collect this/meet with the teacher. This will be an informal, drop-in event and parents are welcome to arrive at any time.
Uniform
Please ensure that your child is in the correct school uniform for their first day.
Our school uniform can be purchased from local suppliers including, C&G Embroidery, Jameson’s and Davidson’s. Please ensure that all items of clothing have the pupil’s name.

We had a great morning celebrating various achievements in P1-4.
Well done to all of our winners.
