A massive thanks to 🫶🥰⁦@KerrieMrsmaker⁩ who surprised us with a kind visit today. We just love this Christmas scene. Please call by our front entrance to admire her work before the end of term 🎄🌟 🎅🏼

Sincerest thanks 🎉to all the families who visited Nursery & P1 tonight for our ‘Play & Stay’ session. We loved the buzz of activity & chat and hope to see you all again at our Open Day 06.01.26 when you can explore the whole school and meet our children.😊

😋 Sincerest thanks to Rathmore PS’s Canteen Team for bringing Christmas joy on a plate today. 🎄🫶 What a surprise! 🌟

Our Primary 1 children have settled in really well to their lunch routine and they are really enjoying having school lunches. 🍎🥪 This supports Article 27 of the UNCRC, which says every child has the right to adequate food and nutrition to help them grow and learn.

P2 had a blast exploring space science in class today! 🚀 This fun learning experience reflects Article 28 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states that every child has the right to an education. 🌙

Pupil Voice Matters! 🗣️ Our School Council meets regularly to discuss important school matters and make sure every child’s voice is heard. These meetings give pupils the chance to share ideas, raise concerns and help shape decisions that affect their school life.🌟

Congratulations 🎉 to our football teams. The girls’ team won 2 and drew 1 while the boys’ team won both of their matches. Their success is a perfect example of how teamwork, responsibility and respect are key to both winning and growing. Thank you for all your parental support.

Welcome to Our Rainbow Room! 🌈 This special space in our school is designed as a comforting space for our children. It is filled with cozy sofas, toys and plenty of room to enjoy a good book. 📕

Our P1 children absolutely love playing in their mud kitchen! 🌿🍴 It is one of their favourite activities. Mixing, creating and exploring outdoors while having so much fun. A perfect way to learn through play! 🌱

🌍 On Monday, our Eco Council had an inspiring trip to Habitat ReStore in Newtownards where they learnt about waste reduction strategies through reusing and upcycling in our local area. ♻️ We are proud of our Eco Council for taking action to make our community more sustainable!

Rathmore is an Accredited Forest School, holding the prestigious Oak Level Award from the NI Forest School Association! 🌳🌳 With 17 staff accredited as Level 3 Forest School Leaders and 4 Level 4 Managers, we are committed to the ethos and benefits of outdoor learning for all.

🐾 We love having Pets as Therapy (thanks, Sharman), visit our school! Brodie brings comfort, companionship and so much joy when reading with groups of our children. These special moments make reading time even more magical. 📚

The children absolutely love spending time in our Rainbow Room, enjoying a calm and cozy space to read. They explored powerful stories about poverty, learning, reflecting and sharing thoughtful conversations. 📚

Rathmore’s principal, Julie Hardy was delighted to accept Lord Dubs’ invitation to attend The House of Lords for a celebration of the Integrated Education Fund Northern Ireland. @IEFNI
