School Refurbishment

We are delighted to inform you that four significant projects are almost completed. These are:

  • Replacement of windows in the 2-storey building
  • Refurbishment of the servery in the Dining Hall
  • Replacement of the boiler
  • Construction of a play area at the front of the school

Everyone is very excited about the changes. There have been many positive comments from the school and wider community about the improvements and how well the school is looking. In January 2012 I submitted another Minor Works application to SEELB on behlaf of the school. I am hopeful that a number of other requests from the application will be completed during 2012-2013.

P1-P4 Bike-It Brunch on 2nd February 2012

We had a great day. Please enjoy looking at some of our photographs below.

 

We all had a great day on Thursday 2nd February as we took part in the Bike-it Day. We all remembered to wear our helmets and some of them were very colourful. Policeman Chris talked to us about cycling safely.  We all need a helmet, good brakes, a bell and lights if we go out at night. We could see the reflective strips on his jacket. He said to check our bikes now and then to make sure they were safe and working properly. Then we rode our bikes and scooters all the way round to the big playground.
Many thanks to...
  • Pamela & Jackie from BikeIt
  • PSNI
  • The P1- P4 Teachers and Classroom Assistants
  • The boys and girls in P1 - P4
  • All the parents, grandparents and childminders who helped to make the day so special!

PSNI Bike Safety Talk

 

Primary 5-7 had a bike safety talk today conducted by a PSNI community officer.

 
The children learned the importance of checking their bikes before they take them on the road to check they are road worthy. They also talked about the importance of wearing a helmet and bright reflective clothing.

Hat-Trick Heroes

At Holywood Primary School we are proud to be the first school to sign up for Hat-trick for Heroes, the children’s fundraising initiative organised by the charity Help for Heroes. Neil Somerville recently came to the school to show the children two DVD’s, one explaining the challenges they will undertake as part of the fundraising event in school. The other outlined how Help for Heroes makes such a difference by supporting Service men and women who have been injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. 

The children, through their Schools Council voted unanimously for the Charity and they will be involved in helping to organise this and other events to raise money for such a worthy cause.
