George and his Recycling Rat

We were delighted to have George from the Belfast City Council back at Knockbreda, with his friend with stripy socks Mr. Rat!

George was able to talk to the children about littering, recycling, reusing and about landfill. The children were able to contribute to the story as they are very keen on looking after the environment and have now a great understanding of what items can be recycled and what bin items should be put in. Great job boys and girls!

πŸƒJump, Jiggle and Jive 🎢

Everyone loved having Diletta (Bonnie is what the children called her) from Jump, Jiggle and Jive. They enjoyed moving their bodies in many different ways and getting to use different props. πŸ˜πŸƒπŸŽΆ

Forest School so far

The children enjoy being up in Forest school and get stuck in. They helped with some litter picking and began planting some seeds to take care of Forest school.

πŸ“”World Book Day 2025!πŸ“”

Thank you to the very kind mums, dads and siblings that came to read a story or two for us! We loved having you in our classroom!

We had loads of fun reading with mums, dads and siblings, we then looked for different book characters around our classroom and were so excited and lastly picked a book and went on a book hunt to find what was on our checklist.

And thank you all for your kind donations to the Book Aid charity; as a Gold Rights Respecting School we would like to continue developing the children’s awareness as citizens of the world with this type of charitable opportunity.
