Intergenerational Christmas Event

Wed 30 Nov 2022 CH

On Wednesday 30th November, eight Groggan pupils went to Randalstown to meet up with our friends from the Fold. We all sat down in groups with some pupils and some of the Fold residents. First, we had some treats which went down a storm. Next, we took part in a quiz, some questions were easy, others were very tough. Mason's group came first, and he was delighted to win a massive bar of chocolate. Even the Mayor popped in for a visit.

For lunch we got chicken goujons and chips and they were really tasty. We really enjoyed spending time with the seniors as they were really interactive and funny. They seemed to enjoy our company. We sang two of our Christmas songs for them and wore our Santa hats.

Olivia read a Christmas poem to everyone called, 'A Christmas Wish for You.'

We all received a present and did some Arts and Crafts, we made and exchanged turtle doves and left some of our Art we made for them all at school.

It was brilliant day and we loved spending time with our senior friends.

Groggan and Millquarter choir perform in Randalstown

Mon 28 Nov 2022 CH

We were delighted to host our friends from Millquarter Primary School to Groggan on Friday for the final rehearsal for our big performance at the Randalstown Lights Switch On. The children were so excited to see each other and we were delighted to welcome our Shared Education Officer, Joanna Clarke to watch.

Our combined choir sang beautifully on Friday night and we were so very proud of them. Thank you to Mrs Wilson for training the choir and to all of our parents and friends for coming out to show their support. our Shared Education Officer, Joanna Clarke even came along to lend her support and was blown away by the children's performance.

These are her words, 'You should be incredibly proud of your pupils. They sang beautifully on Friday evening, their excitement and enthusiasm was written on their faces. They so naturally mix and think nothing of being on a stage together. This is truly what Shared Education and effective collaboration is about.'

Everest Trek

Fri 14 Oct 2022 CH

The father of one of our Primary 3 stars is trekking to Everest Base Camp along with two of his friends. This is an incredible feat and I know there has been a lot of training in the run up to the event.

We are so delighted that a little piece of Groggan will be travelling to Everest with Johnny.

Johnny is raising money for Action Cancer, which is a Northern Ireland charity dedicated to saving lives and supporting people through cancer awareness, prevention, detection and support.
