RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.   [Open Document] | ☕ Coffee Morning ☕ - Friends Of Mullinahoe - Coffee Morning on Sunday 28th of September from 12.00 - 2.00 pm in the Ardboe Community Centre.

Exploring ICT Tools in Primary Three

Back to News
16th Sep 2025

The children in Primary Three have been working hard on an ICT task linked to their numeracy learning all about their class. As part of this activity, they have been recalling how many children are in their class each day and extending their thinking by counting how many boys and girls are present daily.

Together, we are creating a display to show this information in a clear and colourful way. As part of the task, the children learned to type their first and second names using the keyboard, change the size of their text, and explore different font colours—developing their digital literacy and confidence with technology. They spent time discussing the main parts of a computer and how we print completed tasks. 

This task links closely to the 5 E's of ICT in the Northern Ireland Curriculum: the children were Exploring ICT tools, Expressing their ideas clearly, Exchanging information, Evaluating their work, and Exhibiting their learning through a class display.

A big thank you to Michael-Sean, our new ICT Assistant in Primary Three, for helping everyone stay on track and making ICT learning even more enjoyable!
