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.

Reciting Our Favourite Poems

21st Mar 2025

The children in P3 had great fun today reading and sharing their favourite poems with the class.

The children had the opportunity to try some alliteration techniques during Literacy activities.

Alliteration is a figurative language technique and a type of repetition. It involves repeating the first letter or sound in a string of words. This can sound really pleasing when reading and can also add humour and expression to a piece of writing. Alliteration has an almost poetic effect.

Here are a few examples:

  • Can you smell the salty sea air and hear the sound of the squawking seagulls?
  • Lucy licked the lemon-flavoured lollipop.
  • Give your guess for the greatest gamer in the galaxy.
