P6/7 were very lucky to be visited by Santa today. Many thanks to everyone who organised the visit.

Over the past few weeks, children from P7 have been working hard to develop their own business. On Wednesday 11th December, representatives from P6/7 and LSC4 attended the Big Market in St. George's Market, Belfast, along with other primary and secondary schools from throughout Northern Ireland. The event was hosted by Young Enterprise NI. The boys and girls received excellent feedback, and their enthusiasm did not go unnoticed as some members were interviewed by BBC Ulster, asking what makes a successful business. 

We were delighted to not only make a profit but also to be selected as the overall winners of the Business Beginnings Programme (best primary business).

A special mention goes to Antonia and Jonah who delivered our business pitch to the judges. Jonah was also selected for a Judges' Special Recognition Award for his role of Marketing Manager and his ability to answer questions based on the business. 

After our success in Belfast, we welcomed children from P1-7 to visit our 'pop-up shop' later in the week and purchase some of our products.

During Road Safety Week, P6/7 took part in a class discussion focusing on the best ways to stay safe when crossing and using the road. P6/7 also took part in our school road safety poster competition, providing some excellent posters highlighting the importance of staying safe on the roads. 

This week we celebrated Anti-Bullying week. The week began with Odd Sock Day which allowed us
to celebrate our differences. P6/7 also took the opportunity on this day to create their own
anti-bullying pledge. We also took the opportunity to create some animations offering support to
others and raising awareness of the issue.
 

Today was frightening fun in P6/7. There was some eerie Numeracy work completed, a spooky quiz and some brilliant Halloween artwork completed. It is safe to say the highlight for most of the boys and girls was visiting the school hall to find it had been transformed into a spectacular, spooky disco. A big thank you to all involved. They did a fantastic job.

Today Primary 7 took part in an interactive workshop in which we explored the importance of resilience. A very important characteristic in a year in which we will face many changes and challenges.

P6/7 were provided another treat today to celebrate the end of the month. Thank you again to the PTFA for a wonderful job organising.

P6/7 have been making the most of the good weather by getting out to our Daily Mile track to do some gardening adding some new plants to our planter box and add a little extra colour in preparation for autumn arriving.

P6/7 were delighted to celebrate the return of an old St. Colmcille’s favourite, 50p Friday! Today we celebrated by treating ourselves to some tasty milkshakes.

We were delighted to welcome everyone back this week to catch up with our friends and share some of the exciting events from over the Summer. We had the opportunity to discuss our plans and targets for the year ahead, and of course had time for a an ice cream!
