Primary 5 had a fantastic day on their Educational Visit to the Navan Centre, where they stepped back in time to explore the fascinating world of the Ancient Egyptians. The pupils were excited from the moment they arrived, and the trip was packed full of hands‑on learning and memorable experiences.

While there, the pupils had the opportunity to make Egyptian headdresses, watch and participate in the process of mummification and learn about Egyptian gods and goddesses.  They also met an Egyptian farmer and his slave.

The trip was a wonderful opportunity for Primary 5 to deepen their understanding of Ancient Egypt in a fun and interactive way.

Well done, Primary 5, for representing our school so brilliantly!

Our P7’s have been exploring the exciting world of electrical circuits!

This term, they investigated how series and parallel circuits work, experimenting with different components such as bulbs, switches, buzzers and motors to see how electricity flows, how changes affect a circuit’s performance and tested materials to discover which ones are conductors and which are insulators.

Building on their growing expertise, pupils applied their understanding of complete circuits to design and create their very own steady hand games. From shaping the wire track to assembling the buzzer and power source, they combined creativity with engineering skills to produce fun, challenging games that put players’ steady hands to the test!

It’s been a fantastic hands‑on learning experience that sparked curiosity, problem‑solving, and plenty of ‘light‑bulb moments’ along the way.

Recently, the school availed of a Thermomix demonstration given by Katie McCracken. 
 
As a result of the Thermomix demonstration the school was donated a Thermomix device which we have enjoyed using to make many and varied dishes for the children from pumpkin soup at Halloween to hot chocolate following the SEAG Tests and pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. 
 
Sincere thanks to Katie and the Thermomix team for the donation of this device to school.  We will use it to the benefit of the children!

Everyone loves to hear good news and this month we were simply delighted to see our new Nursery Teacher, Mrs S Thompson, take up her duties.  Mrs Thompson is a familiar face in school having taught the main school over the course of Term One.
On your behalf, I warmly welcome her to the teaching staff and have every confidence that in due course, you will have the opportunity to welcome her too.
This is a very exciting time for our Nursery Unit as we prepare to move to full-time hours in the new academic year.

Primary 2 recently enjoyed a special visit from Mr Sergeant who works as an architect. He taught the pupils all about designing and building houses. Each pupil was given an exciting challenge to design their own dream house.  Both the visiting parent and the teachers were extremely impressed with the pupils’ entries and a winning design was chosen to receive an exciting prize of a Toymaster voucher! Well done to everyone who took part!
