Yesterday we held our Book Fair at the school. This was a great chance for the children to buy their favourite books and for the parents and guardians to come along and support the school. The school will earn commission on all the books purchased at the fair and we will now be able to buy new books for the school. Thank you so much to all the parents, guardians and grandparents who came along on the day to buy books. We are very grateful for your support.

Every year we ask the families of the school to donate to the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal. These boxes are delivered to children in need in Eastern Europe and Africa. As always, we received a great response. Here are some of the children with some of the boxes! Thank you very much to every one who donated.
Congratulations to all the children who represented the school and took part in the Cross County competition on 15th September. All the pupils ran extremely well and we had several top ten finishers.

We took two separate tours this year to the same venue – Finn Valley Centre. All the children took part in a day of sporting activities and games and some of them even got to meet boxer Jason Quigley and see the coastguard helicopter up close!
Our thanks to the Parents Association for their contribution towards the cost of the buses for the tours. The children all had a fantastic day out and arrived home happy and tired!
