forest school
We are delighted to have restarted our Forest School sessions at the outset of the year with children making great use of the plentiful outdoor space in the idyllic surroundings of Cloughey Bay to assist and enhance their learning. Primary 2 & Primary 3 children have been using non-standard units of measure including straws, stones, shells, shoes and string. They have been thinking about how non-standard units of measure and useful but also their limitations and why, for example, a builder might not want to measure in this way.

Art from trash community project
Children in P3 and P4 are taking part in a great recycling project, using materials that might ordinarily be discarded to create a wonderful piece of art to display in school. Funded by the County Down Rural Community Network (CDRCN) and organized with the help of the ever helpful and supportive Cloughey and District Community Association, the project has been led by Heather and Sally from the Community Art Project Arts Centre. The project will finish with a final session on Wednesday 11 March 2020 where children will design and create their own t-shirts!!!
