As a way of saying well done to our pupils for the manner in which they have changed routines in school this year, we are delighted to bring Panto-style festive cheer to our students this Christmas season with The Helix Panto Online. Produced by TheatreworX, 'Red Riding Hood- Schools Edition' is available exclusively to schools to stream on- demand. Will Red finally realise her true destiny and save Fairytale Land from the clutches of the darkness? Will they all live happily ever after? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out!! 😊 With panto favourites Buddy (Colin Hughes), Laurel (Aidan Mannion), the Wicked Warlock (Paul Byrom), and the outrageous Dame Lola (Chris Corroon), the Helix Panto Online is back for a second year to ensure your whole school can laugh their troubles away. The school quiz will take place in January and February with a round of questions for every class this year. The quizzes will be divided between infants, 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th and 5th/6th. The quizzes are school, general knowledge and current news based with the aim of making the children more aware of what is occurring around them and in wider society.
Our draughts leagues will take place in every class from 2nd to 6th after Christmas.
Cross Country running has been taking place for 1st-6th class over the last five weeks. The final run will take place this week weather permitting. Well done to all the pupils from 1st to 6th who participated, particularly those who ran every week.
