Our Health and Well Being Week has been so much fun & it's not over yet ☺️. So far we have dressed up as 'people who help us', enjoyed fitness classes with our good friend Laurence from Lifeguards, visited City of Armagh Rugby Club yesterday to enjoy coaching with Harry Doyle & a walk around the beautiful Palace grounds.

Today we had retired teachers Mrs Hall & Mrs Quinn showing us how to make fruit kebabs (below) & teaching us about the Healthy Eating Plate. We conclude tomorrow with a Farmer's Breakfast for everybody in school courtesy of Bawn Meats Richhill & J.D. Hunter & Co Supermarket before a visit from our local PSNI officers 🙂❤️👍

**Dates for your diary - Open to EVERYBODY in our community**

Please put a huge effort into supporting both events. Online safety for our children is paramount & everchanging. (Homework passes issued to all parents who attend 😉🙂).

Our Parents Support Group Table Quiz is sure to be fun with questions for ALL ages and refreshments served 😋
