It is safe to say that these wreaths really brighten up the home and we hope that they continue to make the residents smile over the Christmas holidays. It was really lovely to see all of the really beautiful wreaths decorated by schools throughout the area hung up throughout the home. We were really lucky to have been chosen as first, Ballydown's P.1 class were second and Year one in Donard were third. We were very privileged to meet some of the residents and enjoyed having a chat and some treats with them before the Lord Mayor, Garath Keating arrived to judge the three shortlisted wreaths.

The event was indeed a huge success and we would like to thank all of our guests for joining us on the day and of course our own children who displayed excellent manners and behaviour. Emily from P.3 was chosen to hit the big button alongside the Newsdesk Editor David, since she is the youngest P.3 pupil. Well done to you all!Īfter the rap came the actual Launch of the Junior Newsdesk, which is aimed particularly at P.3 & P.4 pupils. It goes without saying that we were extremely proud of how well our pupils spoke. Noah, Oliver, Joshua & Tom had the opportunity to share their amazing reports, whilst Hannah narrated and introduced the various speakers. P.7 pupils treated special guests from C2K, Capita, Aetopia, our Board of Governors and teachers from local primary schools to a fantastic rap to promote the value of using Newsdesk. We were very privileged to be chosen as the school for this launch and wish to thank the editors David & Amelia for acknowledging and celebrating all of the amazing comments and reports that our pupils posted on the Newsdesk within the last year, in particular many of our current P7 pupils.
