We are delighted to be taking part in Peace Proms this year. We have started practicing this week and will perform in the UL Sports Arena on Sunday 9th February 2025 with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and lots of other schools. Tickets will be available for parents to purchase in November.

Pupils in the choir can practise the songs using the link above as much as possible at home.

^{Holocaust Memorial Day}

^{International Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January every year. We took part in the Crocus Project this year to remember those who died in the Holocaust.}

^{The Holocaust was the organised murder of 6,000,000 Jewish people and hundreds of thousands of other victims, by the Nazis and their collaborators.}

^{We planted yellow Crocuses to remember one and a half million Jewish children and thousands of other children who died in the Holocaust. The yellow colour of the flowers reminds us of the yellow Stars of David that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi rule. The flowers remind us of all of the children who perished in the Holocaust.}

Our Crocuses will bloom in February.

Hi, we’re back with part two of the new classroom blog. The windows are in and one door is in. They have put the frame of the roof on. And they have started putting on the tiles for the roof. And they’re louder than our class. WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE BLOG.

We are getting a new classroom. During the last week of September, the builders arrived and started to get ready for the foundation. Two weeks ago, they finished the foundation and put in the pillars. Last week, they poured concrete over the foundation. They recently started to build the wall around the new classroom. We had a look outside and there was a JCB and a cement mixer and a load of blocks and insulation foam. Right now, the workers are putting in the insulation under the floor. The building is looking good so far. There will be an update after or before Christmas.
