Every Year the EA Educational Welfare Staff visit school to provide a preparation workshop for our P7 pupils in preparation for their move to 'Big School' in September.
This year a link to the video and a copy of their booklet have been added to our website for the children to work through with their parents on the Corona Virus Information Page. Scroll down to P7 Transition Resources.
A Leavers Hoodie, in the colour of your choice, can be ordered now.
The design will include an embroidered school badge on the front (image below).
The child’s initials will also be printed on the front with the names of all the P7 pupils printed inside a large 20 on the back.
The full costs is £15.00 but school will contribute £10.00 towards the cost of each one and ask parents pay £5.00, on collection, later in June.
While email is preferred, if this isn’t possible orders can be telephoned into school next Tuesday or Thursday (26th & 28th May) between 10:00 am & 12:15pm.

Residents Asked to Share Their Experience of ‘Living in Lockdown’
In recognising the scale and impact of COVID-19 on our district, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, through its museums, will record for future generations how we lived through these very different and difficult circumstances.
The aim of this new project, called ‘Living in Lockdown’, is to understand the impact the pandemic has had on individuals, business, commerce, arts, culture, sport and religious life in our district. Whatever experience you are living through – big or small, negative or positive – we would like to know. What do you do to keep fit? Do you live your life via Skype, Facebook and Zoom? Do you still attend your church service online? Maybe you have been forced to do all those DIY jobs you were putting off?
Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Charlie Casey said, “This is a project unlike any other the Council has undertaken. To those looking back on these extraordinary times, it will show how we came together as a community to help keep each other safe.
“’Living in Lockdown’ will be co-ordinated by Newry and Mourne Museum and Down County Museum, both of which act as the district’s collective memory-bank. The project will help both museums record the history of this difficult period and we are very keen to collect your reactions, responses and feelings as to how your life has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic for posterity.”
“We are asking our residents to help and to share their story with us. You may be self-isolating or work as a care provider, maybe you are self-employed. Whatever you are doing, we are interested in all aspects of your life, great and small.”
If you are interested in taking part in this unique project to share your stories, thoughts, pictures, diaries and journals, or anything else that you feel captures what we are currently living through, please contact us.
If you wish to make a submission please email museum@nmandd.org if you live in the old Newry and Mourne District Council area or DCMuseum@nmandd.org if you live in the old Down District Council area.
