This year we are taking part in the Sustrans programme. The programme encourages children to walk, scoot or cycle to school rather than always travelling by car. Some of our Primary 6 children have been developing their cycling skills with trainers from the Sustrans programme. As you can see they had lots of fun.

The School Book Fair is being held from 6th - 13th November.  Parents are invited to come to the Fair and encourage their child/children to purchase and read a book or books from the display.  On Mon 12th November, school will be open from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm for families to browse through the books etc.

We are excited to be taking part in Shankill Parish’s Christmas Tree Festival from 6th to 9th December and would encourage you to support this event.

On Friday 26th October we all came to school dressed very brightly to raise awareness of being safe and being seen now that the darker evening are upon us. All the children made a huge effort. We also tried to come to school in a more sustainable way such as walking, scooting or cycling.

 

We also welcomed the Tharpes back to our school again!  Marty and his musical family provide the children with the opportunity to join in with their praise singing and it is a very enjoyable experience for all!

Ditch The Dark Day on Friday 26th October. Children are asked to come to school in bright coloured clothes as we highlight the need to be visible in the darker mornings and evenings. Children do not need to bring any money in to participate. Hopefully everyone will come to school dressed in their brightest clothes

 

 

Round 1 of the Flahavans' Primary Southern Area league began on Friday. It was a beautiful Autumn Morning in Lurgan Park and as usual the competition was well represented with approximately 400 children from 15 schools competing.

King's Park girls' team have continued from where they left off last year by smashing their race. Ellie Cousins won the race by a fair margin. Leah Balfour came 3rd, Nicole Penny 4th and Victoria Alexander 5th. And astounding total of 13 points puts them well out in front at this stage of the competition.

Girls also had success in the fun run which was won by our own Alex Kerr. Casey Cousins in her first competitive schools race came 3rd  

The boys while not as strong as previous seasons, gave a good account of themselves came second in their section, and are sitting in third place overall at this stage.
