Boys Futsal Report

Congratulations to the boys’ futsal team who represented the ABC Area at this year’s IFA National Finals. The boys played their part in a very competitive tournament losing only once and drawing to the eventual winners. Unfortunately, they did not gain enough points to progress to the semi-final. An achievement in itself in reaching the finals, well done! Thanks also to the teachers and parents who went with the boys during their Easter holidays.

Team: Luke Adair, Alex Dillon, Rhys McCreanor, James Wright, David Ward, Caleb Lyle and Dean Bradbury.

P6S had an amazing day on Monday as Phoebe was the envy of authors worldwide when none other than Children's Laureate, PJLynch, illustrated her story at The Seamus Heaney HomePlace. Read by Dave Rudden, 'The Scaredy Prince & The Daring Princess' had us in stitches!

School finishes today for the Easter holidays.  Back again on Monday 16th April.  Have a safe and happy Easter break!!

Tickets for the summer competition will be going home in early May and everyone is asked to support this annual event sponsored by McCabery’s Bicycles and local businesses. The competition draw will be made at our Fun Night on 7th June.

Well done to Phoebe Reid in P6S who has had her creative writing selected out of hundreds as a winner of the ‘Head Over Heels’ project. The Children's Writing Fellow of Northern Ireland Myra Zepf has invited Phoebe and P6S to watch her story be illustrated and told by authors and illustrators at a special event this April.
