Walkathon

On Saturday morning at 6am we set out to walk the 8 kilometres from school to Cayman Kai Beach. There were about 45 walkers and most managed to complete in about 1 1/2 hours. Sponsorship had been collected by selling tickets which went ionto a grand draw at the end. Many thanks to those who donated prizes - especially to Wendy's; The Lighthouse Restaurant; Chester's Fish Fry and Hobbies and Books. Thanks also to Greenlight Reinsurance Ltd for their fabulous donation. The final total has not been calculated yet but we have raised almost CI$5000 for our school library and for school trips associated with our units of study. Many thanks to all who were involved in any way - and special thanks to the early risers who participated on the walk!

Sports Day Report

Today we held our annual sports day at the Truman Bodden Sports Centre - it was a great fun day! Here are some of our photographs - for others - see the individual classes. The event was opened by our local MLA and Speaker of the House in Legislative Assembly - we were delighted that she was able to come and support us. Thank you, Ms Edna Moyle. Mrs Shirley Wahler, our Chief Education Officer was also there for the start of our sports - thanks to her also for her time and support. Mrs Wendy Quinland, our Community Development Officer, was the announcer for the day - and she did a fabulous job! We were also joined by Mr Des McConvey, our Learning Community Leader who was able to stay for a while and see for himself the potential of our pupils on the track. We were delighted that, at the end of the day, our Eagles house were the winners...but, we know that all our children tried their best and showed that every one of them is a winner! Thanks to all our parents, family members and friends who came along to support their children - and take part in our parents' races...you are all stars!

The Race is On...

North Side Primary is getting ready for its sports day on Tuesday 17th March. Here we are practicing the skills we will need to perform well on the day...

Family Quiz Fun

This evening our Home School Association meeting took the form of a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" quiz. Mr Mark Ray, from the Department of Education Services, demonstrated a simple, fun way of using the Mimio Interactive board. Parents and their children came up and used the interactive board to choose the correct answers to a series of questions on local facts. Well done to all who answered correctly! Mr Ray has been working with teachers in the school to upskill them in the use of this technology for learning. We are very grateful to him for his support!
