P6 had a great time at the Folk Museum. They visited the National School to see what life was like in Victorian schools. They also played some Victorian schoolyard games and then investigated the rest of the houses and buildings in the museum. A brilliant day!
P1 had a fun day out at W5! They enjoyed taking part in a workshop called ‘In Our Nature,’ learning all about minibeasts and even met a real life African snail 🐌 They took part in a minibeast hunt and then created their own craft insects to take home. The boys and girls explored all levels of W5 and especially loved the Dinosaur exhibition and Climb-it frame! They all showed excellent behaviour, super listening skills and teamwork!
P3 recently visited Oxford Island where they explored and learnt more about the water cycle. They looked at how water affects a variety of aspects, such as animals that live on land and animals that live in water. They also discussed how plants obtain water through their roots and how it helps them to live. We were able to go pond fishing to try and physically see some of the small animals that live in fresh water.
Well done to this week's fabulous pupils of the week! You have shown our core value of Open-Mindedness in class this week and we are so proud of you all.
Nursery went on our trip to Indiana Land. The boys and girls were so well behaved and really enjoyed some toast and juice while we were there. There were lots of really fast slides, climbing, a Paw Patrol ride, relaxing sensory room and they even had a ball pit!
We have been building up lots of physical skills this year and our visit to soft play gives us a great place to practice all of our skills in a fun way
What a day it was for our Primary 6 and 7 girls’ football team as they took part in today’s tournament – showcasing skill, resilience, and fantastic team spirit throughout!
The girls got off to a brilliant start with a confident 2-0 win over Currie, thanks to well-taken goals from Sophie and Ellie. This strong opening set the tone for what would be an unforgettable day.
Next came two hard-fought matches against Springhill and Black Mountain, both ending in closely contested 0-0 draws. The team stayed focused and disciplined, with solid defending and tireless effort from every player.
Their next match was against Springfield, where Erin found the net with a great finish in a 1-1 draw. That crucial goal proved enough to see the team progress to the final, where they once again faced Springhill.
The final began with a setback, going 1-0 down, but the girls showed tremendous character and determination. Up stepped Ellie, who grabbed her second goal of the day, levelling the match and sending the final into a dramatic penalty shootout.
What followed was a nail-biting, seemingly endless shootout, where the pressure was high – but so was the quality! Our players took their penalties with confidence, and in goal, Harper-Lee pulled off some fantastic saves that proved vital. Eventually, after a thrilling back-and-forth, Harmony emerged as tournament champions!
To top it all off, Ellie was rightly named Player of the Tournament by the Springhill teachers – a reflection of her outstanding performances across all games.
A huge well done to the entire team – their sportsmanship, teamwork, and behaviour were impeccable all day. A day to remember, and as a school we are very proud of each and every one of them!
On Thursday 5 June, P4 visited Oxford Island as part of their Summer Term topic, Birds, Bugs and Beasts. They had a fabulous day. The activities they did included:
P4 were a credit to the school and showed excellent behaviour and manners.
Congratulations to this week's superstars! Your teachers chose you for showing kindness, a positive attitude and for being great role models of our school values. We are so proud of each one of you!
We would like to wish the lovely Miss Maxwell a huge congratulations on her engagement! We couldn't be happier for you!
We promised photographs and here they are! Doesn't Julie look incredible?! Once again, we couldn't be prouder of this achievement and can't wait to see what else Julie has in store for our Community Hub next!
As part of P7JH topic ‘This is Me!’, we had a visit from Josh Roach, a player with the Belfast Giants, who told us all about keeping healthy! We even had time to get some autographs and photos!!
Thank you so much to everyone who came along to our VE event! The kids had an amazing day playing lots of games, singing wartime songs and completing VE day activities in class.
Thank you so much to the Glencairn Community Project who provided a commemorative medal for every child. What a fabulous keepsake.
