On Monday in school we celebrated Diwali by creating a display for the foyer. We also completed art and craft activities in class

and watched a PowerPoint presentation on the story of Diwali.

Diwali is a national Indian festival of lights that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. 

Happy Diwali!

One of puzzles we tackled during Maths Week in P6

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.

The boys and girls in the Cross Country squad enjoyed a successful day out at the first round of the Flahavan’s Primary School Cross Country League.

Both teams ranked first place overall in County Down with 4 medals won. Well done!

Great to see so many pupils cycling and scooting to school during Cycle to School Week. Well done everyone!

Mikey from P6 swam at the weekend for St Itas in the Swim Ulster Schools Primary Championships. 

He won his 50M backstroke heat with a new Personal Best (PB) of 48.51s.

He followed this up with qualification for the 100m Individual Medley.

In the final backstroke final, Mikey finished 7th overall. Unfortunately due to illness, he was forced to withdraw from the 100m IM final.

Mikey was extremely proud to represent St Ita's to say the least!

Well Done Mikey! Everyone in St. Ita's is extremely proud of you.

Primary 6 have been learning how to be mindful and aware of their emotions through the Paws B programme with Patrick McIlwee. The P6 Class love practising their breathing techniques each day during 'mindful minute'. A big thank you to Aware NI for providing the Paws B programme
