• Reception children's topic work, Spring Term

  Wed 24 Apr 2019

  Reception children at Cliftonville Primary and pre-school experienced a fabulous finish to their topic of growing last term.

   

  They enjoyed a visit from The National Fruit Show and a mouth-watering apple workshop. The youngsters were completely immersed in a story about the year of an apple as well as learning lots of new apple facts.

   

  They also tried a range of apples as well as apple crisps and apple sweets. and were able to use the juicer to make apple juice and then drink the product of their hard work.

   

  To round the day off, children got messy and used the left over apples to create apple print masterpieces.

   

  As a parting gift, the school was an apple tree to plant so the children are able to take care of it and produce homegrown apples for the future.

   

  Karen Hill, Year Group Leader, said: “What a fabulous way to round off our learning this term. The children thoroughly enjoyed the whole apple experience – from fruit tasting to juicing to getting messy with paint.

  “As they left school, we could hear them rushing to tell their parents about this fantastic experience and even asking if they could buy an apple tree for their own gardens.’

• Easter bonnet parade

  Thu 04 Apr 2019

  On Thursday we had our annual Easter bonnet parade at Cliftonville Primary School. As usual the children and parents had pulled out all stops to make a spectacular array of bonnets featuring everything from Easter bunnies and chicks to dinosaurs! All 360 children in year R, 1 and 2 wore a hat and when they all sat together in the hall it was a sea of colour. We invited members of the local community in to hear our songs and to see our hats in the morning, and we had our newly hatched chicks as special guests too! With our beautiful singing, colourful hats and lovely little chicks, we hope our guests who come from the local area, Grosvenor Court care home and Holy Trinity Church had a nice time, and left knowing how lovely our school and its children are.

  Last year we were so disappointed that the rain cancelled our parade in the afternoon to parents.

  However this year the sun shone beautifully and our children were able to proudly display their hats and waved happily to parents, friends and relatives who turned up in their hundreds to see them
