             We were delighted to celebrate the official opening of our new Nurture room, The Den, this morning. We welcomed Claire McClelland, @Education_NI Director of Raising Aspirations, Supporting Learning and Empowering Improvement, to cut the ribbon.

             Our P7 classes enjoyed taking part in a first aid workshop with Gary from @BRCEducationNI. They explored what first aid means and talked about different ways of helping. They also learned lifesaving skills such as the recovery position, CPR and how to use an AED.

Paired up with a class from Holy Family Primary School, they shared their stories and wrote letters with advice for the respective protagonists.

             It is great to see all the hard work of our ICT Coordinator, Mr Bleakley, being shared by @CCEA_info with schools across the province as one of their Coordinating Using ICT in the Primary School case studies. His leadership deserves a wider audience š  https://t.co/fczdFHiGCJ

             P7 Room 14 enjoyed learning about how Christmas is celebrated in Russia during today's Christmas Around the World Day. They enjoyed making their own matryoshka dolls and Russian flags along with playing bingo in Russian (despite Mr Ryden's very dodgy pronunciation!)

             It is virtually impossible to organise school trips at the moment so we were delighted when the @OfficialIrishFA invited our P6 and P7 pupils to participate in their 'Heritage in a Box' workshop. Thanks to Jemma for organising the workshops.
