Fri 8th May

Good afternoon,

P1-P4 had lots of wonderful Forest School sessions this week, led by Chris from Forest School. We are forever grateful for Chris and having this wonderful resource on our doorstep. Chris runs a summer camp each year, see information below. Actisport are also planning a Summer Camp at Spa Primary at the start of July but we are awaiting Graham confirming that. We will let you know asap.

We are thinking of our P7s as they receive their school allocation for next year on Saturday. This is a big day for them and we know that whatever school they go to, the school will be lucky to have them.

Remember our Friends of Spa planning meeting on Mon 11th at 7:00, we would love as big a turnout as possible. It takes a lot of hands to organise the fair.

We wish our football and netball teams all the best as they head off to various tournaments next week.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs F

We are meeting on Mon 11th May to plan for our biggest event of the year, our School Fair. We need lots of help with this event and this year we would love to make it even bigger and better. Save the date, and come along with your ideas. The planning meeting should last no longer than an hour and everyone welcome. If you haven't come to Friends of Spa before we would love to see you.

Our P6/7s have had a fun packed trip to Kilbroney. Every one of them have tried the activities with enthusiasm, faced their fears and encouraged each other along the way. Their behaviour has been excellent and, as always, we come away feeling immensely proud of our kids. Thank you so much to the staff who gave up their own time to take them away, for the sleepless nights, 72 hr shifts and stress of taking 62 kids away. Much R&R will be needed by all this weekend.

P6 will now be going to Castlewellan Forest Park on Wed 3rd June instead of Tues 2nd June as previously planned.

We are a cashless school and all payments are made through SchoolMoney. If you have any trouble getting on please email Joy in the office at jwhitley697@c2kni.net.
