We are going to be kept very busy, right until the end of term. On Monday we enjoyed a visit from Dr. Donnelly from Ballymena Academy for some science experiments. The children learned about the attraction between magnets and iron, the power of the egg and met a stick insect, much larger than those we […]
Many thanks to the sensei from The Dojo who joined us for our sports day today, providing another physical activity for the children to try.
