• NSPCC Number Day

  Fri 02 Feb 2024 Mrs Gill

  We had great fun in the playground for Number Day as we celebrated the 100th day of the school year. Our pupils all dressed with a digit and completed lots of 100 challenges as they jumped, skipped and scored to hit the 100 mark! In the classrooms we were working with numbers in Numeracy and raised a fantastic total of £123.50 for NSPCC.

  Thanks to all who donated to the worthy cause.

• Christmas Carol Service 2023

  Tue 19 Dec 2023 Mrs Gill

  We were delighted to welcome families and friends to our Christmas Carol Service in Lissara Presbyterian Church. Our pupils were simply superb and full of joy as they welcomed, read, sang or played their instruments to remind us all of the reason we celebrate the season.

  Special thanks to Rev Burke and Lindsey for all their help and support and to the PTA for providing such lovely refreshments afterwards.
