Primary 3 Sacrament of Reconciliation Today, our Primary 3 children celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation with great reverence and maturity. They approached this special moment with calm hearts and reflective spirits, showing a lovely understanding of saying sorry and making a fresh start.The children worked very hard during their preparation, learning their prayers and hymns, and their dedication was clear to see in their prayerful and respectful participation. We are extremely proud of each child for the sincerity and care they showed on this important step of their faith journey. A sincere thank you to our celebrants Fr O'Neill, Fr Conway and Fr Vincent, and to Ms Byrne, Mr Rooney, Ms Curran, Ms Morgan, along with all our classroom assistants, for preparing the children so thoughtfully for this special Sacrament.

Young Enterprise Workshops Pupils from P4-6 were visited by Rebekah from Young Enterprise NI this week to explore how enterprise works from a local to global level. Our P6 pupils had a fantastic time, focusing on the theme of Our World. Rebekah was joined by Anthony from AIB for this session who taught the children all about business, importing and exporting, and how culture and laws in different countries influence what people make, sell, and enjoy. To finish the session, the pupils were challenged to design their own product and promote it while making sure it followed the laws and cultural expectations of a fictional country they were given. They loved the task, showing great creativity, teamwork, and thoughtful decisionmaking. Next, our Primary 5 Children thought carefully about the structure of towns and cities. During this workshop, they learned all about cities and the different people involved in building and running them. The class then got creative by designing their own 3D building models and putting them together to make a whole class city. They also designed their own restaurantscomplete with matching menusand took part in great discussions about earning money, spending money, saving money, and even donating money. It was a fantastic, handson afternoon and the class really enjoyed it! Finally, Primary 4 explored Our Community where they thought carefully about the structure of our local area, including the resources available to us and who the people are the help us on a regular basis.
