Well done to P4 pupil Charlie Martin who had the opportunity to pick up a few snooker tips from the 2018 Masters Snooker Championship Winner Mark Allen. The local champ was celebrating his recent triumph held at Antrim Forum with local well-wishers.

On Wednesday 7th March we had a team of ten take part in the Antrim Duathlon. Pupils had to run 2 laps of the athletics track, cycle 5 laps then finish with one more running lap of the track. The team performed brilliantly in what was a new and challenging event. We were fortunate to have quite a few parents attend whose support makes a big difference and is always much appreciated. Thank you to Mrs Molloy for volunteering to accompany us to and from the event. Results are not available just yet but the team should be proud of their outstanding performance.

We would like to thank Mr David McKee for organising the event and allowing pupils to participate in such an enjoyable morning of sport.

BALLYMENA FEIS

Fri 23 Feb 2018

On Friday 23rd February the Orchestra competed in the Primary School Orchestra Class at the Ballymena Festival of Music. The competition was of a very high standard. They performed two pieces, "Hornpipe" from the Water Music by Handel and "Tango Mexicana", a Mexican folk song. The children performed exceedingly well and were awarded first place receiving the Kyle McNamara Shield.

The Adjudicator commented;

"Water Music was delightful with good dynamics and staccato"

"The Tango was great and you captured the mood of the dance well"

"A thoroughly enjoyable, well played performance - terrific!"

We would like to thank all the staff who helped with extra lessons at break and lunch times, Mr Gourley, Miss Pankhurst, Miss McClenaghan, Miss Brown, Mrs McClean, Mrs Reed, Miss Davison and Mr Mairs.
