P2 visit the Post Office
P2 have been learning about their local area and the journey of a letter. On Tuesday 23rd January, P2 braved the rain and went for a walk along the Lisburn Road. They noticed lots of places in their local area including a church, a police station, a cafe and a fire station. The firemen saw us taking a picture and invited us in to learn all about the fire engine. This was an unexpected but very enjoyable experience. We also went to the Post Office where we bought 1st class stamps for our thank you letters. We then posted them in the post box. We are looking forward to getting some replies.
Christmas comes to Prep
Prep 3 are the main cast members of our school nativity production and confidently took to the stage to bring us Prickly Hay. Singing and dancing to Stable Hoedown, a Clip Clop Little Donkey, and of course Three Wise Men, the whole school sang beautifully to fill the Prep Hall with Christmas cheer.
Pre-School Christmas Songs
It was a wonderful start to the Christmas celebrations as the Pre-School girls sang Away in a Manger, The Holly and the Ivy and finishing with their tour de force piece, Santa Stothers, all performed in front of an audience of parents and grandparents. Well done, girls!

Congratulations to our prep 7 runners who competed in their first cross country race today in Lisburn.
