HOCKEY SUCCESS

Ella and Rosa are members of Banbridge Hockey Club's P4 team. Over the last few weeks this team has had amazing success in local tournaments. The girls shared their numerous medals in assembly and are now heading to Tayto Park for a team treat. Well done girls and it's great to have you at school Hockey Practice on Friday afternoons.

PUPIL OF THE WEEK - Friday 10th May 2019

Our celebration of Pupil of the Week was delayed to Monday 13th May but I welcomed some delighted pupils to the staffroom for their well deserved treat.

We are very proud of our P4 pupil Joshua who recently wrote to the Prime Minister asking to make the wearing of bicycle helmets law. On Wednesday morning, he shared the contents of the reply in the school assembly. In our photograph he is holding an article from Banbridge Chronicle regarding his lobbying for a cycle helmet law.

PLEASE REMEMBER if your child is cycling or scooting to school a cycling helmet must be worn- it could save a life.

PUPIL OF THE WEEK - Friday 3rd May 2019

It was wonderful to meet the first pupils of the week for May. We were joined by a number of pupils who had received the award before Easter but it had been so busy they didn't get a chance to come to the staff room for a chat.

On Friday I meet pupils who have been working very hard, trying their best and being helpful and a good friend to other pupils in the class. I also read a fabulous piece of creative writing.

Well done to all those who received the award.

We had a super morning parading in the Easter hats and showing off Easter Scenes (more photos on Friends of Edenderry page). The standard was amazing! Many thanks to parents and grandparents who helped with the creations.
