Big Birdwatch 2022

Years 5, 6 and 7 walked through the monastery this morning to do a spot of birdwatching for the RSPB’s annual Big Birdwatch. They saw and heard different species of birds and recorded their results for the Eco-Committee to collate and send in to the RSPB. Well done boys and girls.

This year’s Carol Service is a festive, feel good array of songs, readings and poems performed by our fabulous pupils. You will find our video on our Facebook page Glasswater Primary Crossgar. 

To get a glimpse into just some of the wonderful learning experiences our pupils receive, have a look at our Open Night Video in the Children section of the website. It’s in the Gallery. 

Today our School Councillors were delighted to receive a letter from NIE. In our lower playground, the pupils are continually losing footballs as they are easily kicked over into the substation. So the School Councillors wrote to NIE to ask if there were any solutions to the problem. 

There were smiles on the faces of many this afternoon as the pupils heard that NIE will visit our school soon to discuss how the substation can be changed to one with a roof! Thank you to all those at NIE who have helped us with this matter!
