PUPIL of the MONTH - DECEMBER

Well done to all these pupils for showing wonderful behaviour throughout December.

Keep it up!

Christmas Jumper Day

Well done to the School Council for organising our Christmas Jumper Day.

There was a wonderful, festive feel around the school, with a wide range of Christmas jumpers on display.

Each class had time in the hall to participate in some fun games that the School Council had organised.

A total of £330 was raised towards buying new resources for the children

Thank you for your support!

Xmas Jumping Clay Decorations

The children enjoyed making some personalised Christmas Jumping Clay decorations.

Well done to everyone and enjoy decorating your home with your fantastic decorations.

ALDO THE MAGICIAN

As a Christmas treat, Aldo the Magician visited school as performed some fantastic tricks to the amazement of the children.

There was great discussion afterwards on how he managed to do the tricks!

Well done to all our pupils who earned a special prize for displaying good manners in November.

In Moira PS we love to see excellent manners - it was difficult to choose just 5 or 6 pupils for this special award in each class!

The names of our especially mannerly pupils are on our 'Soaring to Success' board.

Well done to all the children for a fantastic effort in Round 2 of the Athletics NI Cross country race.

The race took place at Palace Stables, Armagh.

This time, there was a change to the running order, as the fun run race was mixed and the girls' and boys' races were split into two races each.

Special congratulations must go to Ella who won the girls' race and Harry who won the boys' race.

After Round 2, we are delighted to announce that the Girls' Team finished 2nd and the Boys' Team finished 3rd.  A tremendous effort!!!

A full list of results are available on the Athletics NI website.

Well done to the football team for a fantastic effort in the League Finals Playoffs. Although we were only beaten once, we were unable to top the league.

We all wish one of our players a speedy recovery from an injury he sustained playing in one of the matches.

Many thanks again to all the parents who came to support the team and to Mrs Beattie for assisting with transport.

Congratulations to Jane who switched on the Christmas lights in Moira on account of writing the winning entry to the recent poetry competition run by St John’s.  Excellent!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the most wonderful time of the year,

But what’s the real meaning of Christmas?

I hope everyone in Moira knows,

It isn’t about Santa, who is so famous,

Or Rudolf with his bright, red nose,

Or the snow that melts when you touch it, it sparkles in the light,

Or the Christmas tree that is prickly, when you put the bobbles on it.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year,

What’s the real meaning of this special date?

I hope everyone in Moira knows,

It isn’t about the delicious turkey on your plate,

Or all the delightful presents with sparkly bows,

It isn’t about being cosy in bed when you move over and cuddle your ted.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year,

This is the real meaning of this celebration,

I want everyone in Moira to know,

Shepherds heard the angels sing the invitation,

They hurried to the stable they knew they had to go,

When they went that day, they saw Jesus in the hay.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year,

God’s son Jesus was born and wise men came who were very smart,

Ask Jesus now into your heart,

That’s the best present you could ever get.
