HALLOWEEN DISCO
Fri 25 Oct 2019What a lovely evening at the Halloween Disco! Amazing costumes and brilliant dancing! A big thank you to our PTA for organising a super event and to everyone who decorated the hall and helped in any way on the night. Thanks also to Supervalu and Tesco Portstewart for their generous donations to our raffle. Please give them your support.
Congratulations to all our prize winners!
Our evening raised £500 towards PTA funds. FAB-U-LOUS!! Many thanks for your continued support.
We're sure everyone slept well last night!

DITCH THE DARK DAY!
Wed 23 Oct 2019Looking forward to our Feet First Families and Ditch the Dark Day on Friday 25th October!
Aiming to raise awareness of safe travel to school during the darker days and we are encouraging children to actively travel (walk, scoot, cycle, park and stride) to school wearing the brightest clothing they can! (it's a non-uniform day!)
Children are invited to get creative with their outfits and be super bright. The possibilities are endless – bright clothing, fluorescent orange socks, a pink tutu, a neon green wig – get bright, brighter, brightest! You are more than welcome to join the fun yourself! Please feel free to dress to impress in your best neon bright clothing and travel to school actively with your child on the day!
We understand that it might not be possible for everyone to actively travel to school the whole way, particularly if you live far away. In this case we’d encourage you to park in one of the nearby car parks and walk the final part of the journey to school with your child. In doing so we hope to reduce the number of cars around school and have lots of active kids!
Our walking buses will leave leaving Manina and the Warren at 8:40am SHARP on the day.
Our school car park will be closed to ALL traffic except those needing disabled access and delivery vehicles. We plan to use this space for fun activities throughout the day.
Looking forward to a fun filled Active Travel Day!
Many thanks for your continued support.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY
Thu 10 Oct 2019It’s World Mental Health Day!
Let's take a look back at the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ animation film created by our Primary 6 class last year, who worked with the team from WheelWorks to create a fully immersive and interactive 3D production.
The short cartoon showcases the facets of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing – Connect, Learn, Give, Be Active and Take Notice – and the positive impact they can have on our lives and those close to us through simple, every day activities such as reading, small acts of kindness and exercise.
Primary 6 pupils took control of every aspect of the film – from scripting to sound, animation to music, this is all their work.
