Good morning.
Another dull, damp day has greeted us this morning. Thankfully just checking in to your work on Seesaw has brightened my day. Please keep the hard work coming!
Did you know how clever pigs are? Check out Newsdesk for further information. Pigcasso is certainly interesting! On Junior Newsdesk, Alfie makes a den – something you could all do in your gardens. It looked like great fun and his mum and sister joined in too.
The Health & Safety Executive for Northern Ireland, “Be aware kids – Child safety on farms.’ The theme for the week (Mon 8th - Fri 12th June) for our child safety poster competition is - FARM ANIMALS.

Children have been working on Mathletics and 45 children received their bronze certificates via Seesaw on Friday. Hopefully we can get P2 set up this week and we’ll let you know on Seesaw of how to log in etc. We are learning how it works as you complete the assigned tasks, so bear with us please. Some children have not logged in yet and we need them to do so before the end of this week.
Accelerated Reader is still available for the P4-P7 children. While there have been many of you taking quizzes, a number have not and we need you to do so before the end of term. If you’re having issues logging in, use the information on our website to help. You must use the link specific to our school: https://ukhosted6.renlearn.co.uk/2124881/Public/RPM/Login/Login.aspx?srcID=s

Remember to keep praying for those who are sick or alone and those people who are working so hard to look after them. Pray for everyone who is so busy looking after you and still working to ensure we have everything we need. We are so grateful.

Stay safe.
