****WOW**** What a Final P7 Assembly by the Classes of 2015

Parents of our P7 pupils joined us at the Final Assembly for their children at Holywood Primary School. This special event gave the boys and girls the opportunity to share memories of their time at Primary School. Everyone was treated to a great rendition of music, dance, poetry, movie clips and favourite memories HPS. This was one of the highlights of the year for all pupils and staff and was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! After the presentation of each child’s Record of Achievement, the P7 pupils and parents stayed for a BBQ. This allowed families to enjoy a special time together before the boys and girls left us. Thanks P7 for the memories! Have a lovely summer!

Twelve of our P6 boys and girls joined children from Glencraig IPS, Rockport and St. Patrick's PS to take part in an inter school Cross Country event hosted by Rockport School. The glorious weather added to the day and all the pupils were enthusiastic participants. The aim of the morning, as well as having the chance to do some Cross Country running, was to have fun and be part of a team with boys and girls from other schools. 

A great time was had by all. A number of our children even came away with a medal from the event. Well done to Melissa,Devon,Johnny, Luke, Ethan, Louise, Poppy and Erin .

Thanks to the parents too who helped with transport to and from the event. Enjoy looking at more photos in our Gallery of Melissa, Devon, Max, Dennis, Louise, Poppy, Molly, Abbi, Ethan, Luke Johnny and Erin.

Congratulations!

Well done Matthew (P2) and Claire (P1) who were P1- P3 winners of our World Book Day Photography Competition.

Lots of children entered the competition. It was very hard to decide who was reading their book in the most interesting place!

Claire was reading her book in the front seat of a fire engine and Matthew was reading his book up a tree!

Our winners for P4 - P7 were Brodie (P4) and Makayla (P5). Brodie was reading his book up a chimney.(Well not exactly - in a chimney area that isn't used as a fireplace anymore at his Granny's house!).

Makayla was in the bath reading her book!
