🍎📚 **The Countdown is On!** 📚🍎

We can’t wait to welcome all of our boys and girls back to school very soon! 😊

A reminder has been sent out with everything your child will need for the start of term. The school office will be open from next Tuesday if you have any questions or queries.

In the meantime, enjoy these last few days of the holidays and perhaps fit in a little reading, counting and writing to help ease everyone back into learning.

We’re looking forward to another fantastic year together at Kilrea Primary School!

🌱 *From strong roots, great things grow.* 🌱

🎤🌟 No better way to end our school year than with an awesome rap about Kilrea PS from our Kilrea’s Got Talent winner, Ben! 🌟🎤

Ben perfectly captured everything that makes our school so special – and honestly, we couldn't have said it better ourselves! 👏💙

Thank you, Ben, for sharing your talent and helping us finish the year on such a high note! 🌟
