Ryan from Mrs Gillespie's P5 class recently represented the Carson Academy at the Scoil Rince Realta Feis in Newtownards. He received three firsts and two second places. Well done Ryan!

Rebecca from Cancer Fund for Children, visited St Ita's and was presented with a cheque for £483.50 by Mrs Gillespie and some P5 pupils. The money was raised during a recent Hats and Shades Day to raise awareness of safety in the sun.

Mrs Gillespie's assembly was on 19^th October.  The P5 class were so delighted to see their parents as Covid-19 did limit our invitations to parents and visitors during this time. 

The theme of the assembly was a celebration of things beginning to return to normal in school. The class talked about the difficulties of Lockdown but focussed mainly on the positives. Animals across the world thrived during the pandemic because of less human interference. We got to spend more time with our families and most of us are stronger and more resilient because of it.

P5 parents were delighted to watch an assembly again for the first time this year. click here to see a short video

Mrs Duffy's P5 class created these spooky Halloween lanterns with the help of Mrs Malone. They look amazing!

Joseph from Mrs Fogarty's P6 class has been at two competitions over the last few weeks. At the UK Taekwondo Open Championships, he won a bronze and a silver medal and at the Irish National Championships in Dublin he won bronze. Well done Joseph on your amazing achievements. What a talent!

A big thank you to the PSNI who met families in the Park and Ride to talk about road safety. There was a fabulous turn out of pupils and families actively travelling to school. 

The officers spoke to P6 and P7 classes about how to walk safely to and from the Park & Ride.

They advised children to wear bright clothes to help be seen in the darker morning.
