🖤💚Y7 Leavers Evening💚🖤

Thu 20 Jun 2024

A wonderful Leavers Evening tonight celebrating the achievements and memories of a wonderful Y7 cohort

There were songs, poems, speeches, awards, laughter, tears and much more as our families were taken on a journey from Nursery to Y7

Our boys and girls did themselves proud, and our staff in Y7 helped them deliver - Class Teachers Miss Roddy & Mr Marsella alongside a dedicated group of Classroom Assistants have given the children a year of wonderful memories

Well done boys and girls - every last one of you a star

🖤💚Y7 Share Centre Day 4 of 5💚🖤

Thu 13 Jun 2024

Another early start and we had groups today on the Water Park, at the Marble Arch Caves, Kayaking, Orienteering and T-Shirt printing among other things - busy busy busy!!!!!

Lunch was lovely pizza and chips and dinner was chicken pie, sausages, chips, veg, potatoes and gravy (not all at once ).

Tomorrow after breakfast there will be another two rounds of activities before departure.

HOWEVER, undoubtedly the most anticipated activity of the day came this evening and the 2 hour disco - boy, they sure scrub up well

Final post - and all that remains to be said is that the children were incredible on this residential. A 'five-dayer' is a long time away, but the boys and girls behaviour, manners and interactions were off the scale!!! The staff of the Share Centre were as always full of praise and thanks daily - our children make their jobs alot easier.

Thanks finally to our SMPS staff who travelled (Miss Roddy, Mr Marsella, Miss McKenna, Miss Campbell, Mrs Neill and Miss Waring) who along with myself, were proud to be associated with St Malachy's PS and your children

🖤💚Share Centre Day 1 of 5💚🖤

Mon 10 Jun 2024

So after a seamless journey to Lisnaskea, we all arrived at the Share Centre approximately 11.45am A meet and greet with Centre staff was followed by lunch which was eaten by all!

Our groups were then at 2pm sessions in Bush craft , Archery and Combat - the boys and girls had a ball.

There then followed a short period of free time.e which took us to dinner at 5.30pm - spaghetti bolognese, chicken curry, rice, naan bread, garlic bread and finished with ice lollies - let's just say there was very little left on the plates

Activity tonight was Share Olympics, team games which everyone put their heart and soul into!!!

Lots of tired heads now, and I am predicting many will be sound asleep very soon

So relax, breathe, and enjoy the quiet, your children are having a ball

Mr Rafferty, Miss Roddy, Mr Marsella, Miss McKenna, Mrs Neill & Miss Campbell
