🏁 Pupil Success! 🏁
A huge well done to Mason, who is currently enjoying his first full season of stock car racing.
After taking up the sport last year, Mason has made a fantastic start and is doing really well. Most importantly, he’s loving every minute of it!
We are proud of all he is achieving and wish him every success for the rest of the season. 🚗💨

Our chickens are in for a surprise after half term! 🐔
A huge thank you to Mr Kennedy, who generously gave up his time to repair and refresh our chicken coop. The work has been completed to a very professional standard and the coop looks absolutely fantastic.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our school community and look forward to welcoming the chickens back to their upgraded home after the break. Thank you, Mr Kennedy! 👏 🔨 🐔

🔢🎨 Learning through play in P1! 🌟
Our P1 children have been busy developing their fine motor skills and number recognition through some hands-on play dough fun! 🤲😊
From rolling and squashing to shaping numbers, the children are strengthening little fingers while building important early maths skills. Learning is always more fun when we can get hands-on! 💛🔢

Mad Dogs are out of this world 🌍 as they celebrate World Space Week.
With fun facts, 🪐 painted planets, astronaut helmets, galaxy bread sticks and earth biscuits. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Snack even included some “moon” (rice) cakes. 😋
On other news huge congratulations to those who brought back their summer reading challenge page and got into our prize box. 📖🎁
Also our scarecrows are now up in the rotunda for all to see. We think the pair look very dapper for the their scarecrow wedding. Let us know if you agree! They will be on display with other artwork at the harvest this Friday.

Smashing it! 🎾🌟 Ballycarrickmaddy PS
A big well done to our youngest Player of the Week at Aura Tennis Academy! 👏
This little lady was our very first star of the week back when we started in week 1.
She is loving her tennis club and learning new skills every week and having lots of fun playing games with her classmates.
We’re now at Week 4 of our current 5-week After-School Tennis programme, and it’s fantastic to see the children building their skills and confidence each week. 🎾
Want to join us for the next block?
We’ll be starting a new 4-week programme starting on the 5th of November, and we’d love to welcome some new players!
If your child would like to get involved, send Aura Tennis Academy a message here on Facebook/Instagram, or contact the school for more information.
No previous tennis experience needed — just come along and learn through fun games, skills and drills! 💚🎾 Ballycarrickmaddy Primary School
