Core Kids Exercise-A-Thon
Fri 26 Apr 2024Core Kids Exercise-A-Thon
Today was a fun-filled day of fitness for the whole school as all our classes from Nursery to Year 7 took part in our first ever Core Kids Exercise-A-Thon.
Each class had their own personalised workout with Gary from Core NI and also fitted in a range of other fitness related activities through the day with the overall aim of promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for our pupils.
This was a sponsored event and we were blown away by the generosity of our parents and members of the wider community in raising so much. We are still finalising the total amount raised, but all of this money will be used to further enhance and develop the teaching and learning of PE within the school over the coming years. Thank you so much for your generosity and support for this event.
Special thanks also, to Gary Wallace for all his fitness expertise today and for making it so fun and interactive for the pupils. You will certainly sleep well tonight, Gary.

STEM in Action competition
Mon 25 Mar 2024STEM IN ACTION:
Thanks to Joanne McGovern, a design engineer from South West College, Kesh PS and Community Nursery pupils have all been involved in this year's Primary Engineer's Leaders' Award, 'If I were an engineer'. The competition provided us with a visit from Joanne to discuss the wide and varied work of engineers.As well as talk to our children, Joanne brought Lego and set the children a challenge to build a bridge. From the youngest children in nursery to our Year 7s they set to work to create some fantastic models.
Following Joanne's visit, the children had to think about an everyday problem they, or someone they know, might have and try to design a solution. The variety of ideas the children came up with was so varied and mind-blowing ranging from: alarms to help elderly relatives, solar powered chargers in work vans for tools, automatic hay feeders for horses, wardrobes with scanning functions to choose your outfit based on your choice of shoes (!), robots that can help with homework, sock pairers for those random single socks (we all need this!)...the list goes on!
With all entries in the post, we await news if any of our ideas make it past the judges tables!
