Here are some photos from yesterday’s progress on the path, planting and outdoor classroom. A huge thank you to Mrs McCormack and our fabulous children, who have been lending a helping hand and checking out the new nature trail. They have put a lot of thought into choosing plants that the bees will love. Also, a huge thanks to Tony Mullan of Urban Earth, our landscape gardener, busy building our new outdoor classroom. We cannot wait to see the finished product! 🐝🪵🍂

Primary 1 having lots of fun exploring their autumn themed sensory tray 🍁🎃🤎!

Our entire school gathered together in St Joseph’s chapel this morning to celebrate the feast day of St Therese (1st October) and our beginning of year school mass. Thank you to Father McCaughey for welcoming us all into the chapel and very well done to everyone who took part. Thank you also parents and friends for joining in on our celebration. 😁🙏🏼💛

🌟 We are so proud to be winners of the KPMG ‘Free to be me’ competition!! 

We have won lots of fantastic books for our library, as well as a series of workshops for our P3 classes.

Pictured with Mrs Doherty (literacy coordinator), Mrs Elliott and Mrs Campbell are Miss Monaghan from KPMG Belfast and some of the children enjoying the first workshop. 🌟

Today we said goodbye to Mrs McGarvey as she retires after 28 years service to our school. We will miss her caring nature and dedication to the school community. Best wishes for a long, happy and healthy retirement. 💐👏

P.3 really enjoyed Week 1 of our ‘Free to be me’ workshop. This workshop will take place over the course of the next four weeks. 📚

P.3 had a fantastic time on their outdoor learning walk. We were looking for dangers in our local area in relation to our ‘Keeping Safe’ topic 📝🍂

P.3 thoroughly enjoyed their time playing Maths games with the boys from St Columb’s College. We look forward to seeing them again next week. 😁

Our very own, Mr Burton, competed in both the European and the World Aquathlon Championships for Ireland in Bilbao and Slovakia respectively. He placed 9th in the European and 10th in the World Championships. We are very proud of his achievements and would like to congratulate him on his great success 🏆🏊🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

Primary 1 have been exploring lots of new things and making new friends over the past few weeks. They have been working hard and having a fantastic time. 🧸🤎
