Well done to the girls in Mr Mawhinney’s P7 class who raised £135.19 for the Cancer Fund for Children. The girls made and sold loom bands and key rings.
Friday 28th May is the official date for 'NI does the Daily Mile'. At King's Park Primary School we have championed the 'Daily Mile' for quite a few years and all the positive benefits it brings. The children are off on the official date and so that they do not miss out on this opportunity, everyone at King's Park is going to walk or run the mile on Thursday 27th May instead. Look out for information from your class teacher on dojo and keep practising.
This year has seen very little sporting activity within school and no inter school team competitions. However there are several children who have over recent years shown a commitment to sport at King’s Park Primary School. They have represented the school in competitions or league fixtures and have shown a commitment to training in all weathers. Several of these children will leave us at the end of this year to begin the next chapter of their school career and will no doubt show the same level of commitment and enjoyment in their chosen sports. This year the following children have been awarded a captain or vice captain badge. Well done!

Dear Parent/Carer,
Today your child will have received from school either a teddy or a mug together with a wellbeing message.
We hope this small gift and message will help each child to know that they are valued members of our school community.
Parents and carers are asked to spend a little time with your child to emphasise that despite the many challenges we have all faced during this past year that working together and using their special, unique talents and abilities our community can be a better place for all of us.
The year 2020 was arguably the most challenging year in most of our lives and 2021 continues to challenge all of our families. We hope this small memento and message will bring a smile to everyone in our very special school community.
Yours sincerely
The Board of Governors
