The Cairnshill mini-rugby group, along with some P7 pupils, went to Newforge today to watch an Ireland rugby team training session.  Lots of excited pupils boarded their bus in the morning hoping to get a good view of some of their heroes.  It was cold and breezy at the side of the pitch but the children had a great view of the players as they completed lots of training drills.  Hopefully, our pupils have picked up a few tips which will help them improve their own skills.

 

The highlight came at the end of the training session when the players went around signing autographs and chatting to the spectators.  The children were delighted to meet some of them and acquired autographs on shirts, phone covers & flags!  We're grateful to the organisers for the opportunity to go along and are sure that this is a day the children will remember for a long time.

Are you up for an EXTREME challenge?

 

Just one week left to hand in your photographs for the “Extreme Reading” campaign! 

 

All you have to do is send a photograph of yourself reading in an unusual or different place before World Book Day (Thursday 6^th March). 

 

On World Book Day we will select a prize winner from each year group for the entry which made us most smile! 

P6W/M have been enjoying a residential trip at the Folk & Transport Museum since Monday.  They've been very busy with a wide range of activities and have even had the opportunity to watch a Channel 4 film crew at work!  Catch up with some of what's been happening by viewing the photos on the P6 Year Group page of this website. 

We are delighted, once again, to be participating in the QUB 'Medics in Primary Schools' project.  This involves medical students visiting school weekly to work with P7 pupils on a range of Science topics related to health and the body.  Three students have been assigned to Cairnshill this year - one for each P7 class.  The students have already made initial visits to school and we're looking forward to their lessons starting next week.
