Katie baked a cake........doesn’t it look delicious!! πŸ˜‹ Well done Katie!

Layla & Poppy made the most of the lovely weather, by getting some exercise out on their Flicker’s.

We are so impressed with Felix and Wyatt’s handiwork! Just look at the great job they helped their dad with when they restored the overgrown mossy bowling green at Bannvale with a tribute to our hardworking NHS πŸ‘πŸ‘ Well done boys!

Many thanks to Frankie and Ronan for sharing these great photos with us. It’s good to see they are finding time to both work and play. Looking great boys.......keep up the good work 😊

Caitlin & Leah have been doing some mindfulness......it’s so important to look after your mental health and well-being especially throughout these worrying times. Thank you girls, we loved your butterflies! πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹

Many thanks to Keelan in P.2 for sending us lots of photos that himself and his brother Nathan have been getting up to. They have been baking, delivering buns, clapping for the NHS and of course doing school work too. πŸ‘ Well done boys!

Ava in P.7 has certainly been keeping busy between baking and singing! Your lemon and cream cake looks scrummy Ava!! I’m glad to see you are also keeping up your weekly singing lessons with Pat via video call......Well done!!🎀 🎢

Olivia in P.3 sent us a photo of her delicious lemon cake and this wonderful message.....she is missing school so much and hopes everyone is well.  She wanted to show off her baking, which she found much easier after learning about measurements in her school work 😊 The lemon cake recipe 🍰 was one that was shared on the school Facebook page. 

A great big thank you to Lily in P.2 for sending us lots of photos of fun things her and her little sister Darcy have been getting up to. Not only have they been doing school work but they have also been going for walks, riding their bikes, setting up not one but two May Altar’s as well as doing lots of baking........don’t all their home made goodies look delicious!! πŸ˜‹ 

How amazing is Noah in P.4’s lego batmobile!! A lot of time, patience and hard work has gone in to building it.......well done Noah, we hope you enjoy playing with it! πŸ‘πŸ‘

Many thanks to Jenson, Alex & Logan for sending some pictures of them out on their bikes. The boys cycled along the tow path the whole way to just before Newry. They couldn’t believe it when they met Miss McCarthy, who was out for a run! They had a few stops along the way for snacks and then an ice-cream stop in Poyntzpass on the way home. Altogether they cycled around 20 miles!!! Amazing boys, I’d say you’ll all sleep tonight 🚴🏻‍β™‚οΈπŸš΄πŸΌπŸš΄πŸ»‍♂️

Many thanks to Frankie’s mum for sending in these great photos of Frankie and his little brother Ronan hard at work. She does however want to know if there is any word of school opening as according to Frankie she is not a very good teacher and he is missing Mrs Power!

Just a little note to ALL parents........you are doing an amazing job and we are so thankful for everything you are doing during these unprecedented times! Keep it up......no matter now much or how little you are doing, every little helps! 😊

How much fun does Phoenix and Wyatt’s science experiment look? They performed the experiment with mentos mints and coke........what an explosion it made!! Well done boys, thanks for sharing πŸ€—

Shona-Jean & Ethan had great fun exploring with Oobleck! A really fun material made by mixing cornstarch with water......if you put force on it, it acts like a solid but if you touch it gently, it acts as a liquid πŸ‘ Clever!!

Well done to Kian in P.2 who is certainly putting safety first when out and about on his bike.......well done Kian! πŸ‘

A huge well done to Leah P.2 & Caitlin P.6 who have had fun painting stones with messages for the NHS and putting them around Gilford in places that people can see when they are out for their daily walk. These stones will hopefully make people smile 😁. How lovely and thoughtful πŸ₯° Well done girls!! πŸŒˆ

How dedicated is Conall in P.7 for practicing his flute at home even though his lessons are not on at this time......Keep it up Conall! 🎼
