Thank you so much to the wonderful boys in our school who made up gift boxes for children who may not otherwise get a gift at Christmas. The boxes were collected today. Ms Durkan’s class helped fill the collection van and we got a thank you certificate for our efforts. It feels good to help others. Happy boys today!

Anti bullying campaign: Student Council
Our Student Council got together to think about how to prevent bullying behaviour in our school and about ways to help and support pupils who have been bullied and who may have bullied. They decided upon a poster competition to raise awareness and get everyone talking about this serious issue.

Bakeoff & Biodiversity
We´ve had some great fun with the last two weeks- we had our Active Week, Art week and Biodiversity Week where the local plants and wildlife were explored and many boys have developed gardening green fingers. One boy was missing school so much he made his own school with Lego! Finally we had our bakeoff and Mr. Reale has just announced that Charlie from Ms. Tynan´s class is the winner with his “Social Distancing” Cake!! Well done everyone!
