We couldn’t have asked for s’more fun! 🔥 🍫
This week our P1 and P4 pupils enjoyed a chilly day in the forest together, making s’mores around a crackling campfire.
It was great to see them putting their fire safety knowledge into practice and showing just how confident and independent they have become in our forest.
Sometimes the best classroom is the great outdoors! 🌲

🏛️ School Council Visit
Our School Council had a fantastic visit to Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council at Lagan Valley Island!
We were delighted to enjoy a reception with the Mayor, complete with some lovely refreshments, before heading into the Council Chamber for a brilliant Q&A session. The Mayor shared lots of great advice with our pupils about leadership, representing others and making a difference. ⭐
We even had a tour of the Mayor’s Lounge, which was a real highlight!
The children returned to school with goodie bags, big smiles and, most importantly, lots of inspiration and ideas for their own work as our School Council. 💙
A huge thank you to the Mayor and everyone at Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council for making us feel so welcome!

Remembrance Day at BCM
Last week Mad Dogs prepared for Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day by having a poppy week.
During the week the children read real stories of people and animals who lived during the world wars and made lots of poppy crafts.
They have made a fantastic display in the rotunda to honor those who fought or died during conflict.
We will remember them.
