• Shannagh-More Residential Trip

  Mon 13 May 2013

  Our Primary 6 boys and girls, accompanied by Mrs Phillips, Miss Johnston and Mrs Stewart travelled to Shannagh-More Outdoor Education Centre, Newcastle from 13-15 May. During their stay the children (and adults!) had opportunities to experience abseilling, rock climbing, canoeing, orienteering, the nightline and an adventure walk. Everyone had an awesome time and the children were complimented by the centre's staff on their excellent behaviour and manners!

  On Friday 10 May two teams made up of two P7 and two P6 pupils, travelled to The Royal School, Armagh to take part in a local heat of the K'Nex Sentinus Challenge. This challenge involved a national design and build problem solving activity, organised in Northern Ireland by Sentinus, which gave the pupils an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their imagination, creativity and ingenuity by designing and constructing a model  using K'Nex Construction kits whilst working together as part of a team. The models were judged by a team of Sentinus Ambassadors.

• Diversity and Drums

  Fri 12 Apr 2013
  Our Primary 6 pupils along with Primary 6 pupils from St Brendan's PS have been involved in a cross community project organised by The Speedwell Trust entitled 'Diversity and Drums'. This project included workshops with the themes of teambuilding, cultural traditions, stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination and of course drumming! Under the expert guidance of Joe Loughlin, the Drummimg Facilitator, the children learned how to play a wide variety of drums from around the world. Their project culminated in a fabulous performance for friends and family and all the other pupils of Drumgor PS! A big 'Thank You' to all involved.
