North Side Primary students receved a special treat by viewing Ballet Magnifcat, an internationally acclaimed ballet troupe committed to presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ through dance. Some students even tried to learn some of ballet positions and combinations frequently used by the dancers . There may be future ballerinas in our district of North Side. You be the judge!

Our Medal Winner!

We are so proud of our Inter-Primary Sports medal winner Rory Forbes from Year 6. Rory won 2 golds and a bronze last week at the Truman Bodden Sports complex. This is the first time in many, many, years that anyone from our school has brought home a medal from the annual sports. A tremendous effort from Rory. North Side is very proud!

Well done to all our athletes, keep training and someday you might win a medal too!

Honouring Our Heroes

North Side Primary School was recently visited by Mrs. Sybil Ione Mclaughlin MBE, JP. Mrs Mclauglin described what life was like for her growing up as a girl and the reasons she decided to enter public service. She also answered many questions from the North Side Primary students during their school assembly. Mrs. Mclaughlin was appointed as the first Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in February 1991 and is the second national hero of the Cayman Islands. Her visit was timely as it brought schoolwide awareness of the contributions of Caymanians during Black History and Women's month. The vote of thanks was delivered by Year 6 student Christie Millwood.

How We Express Ourselves ("Good Job" skit)

The year 5 students are continuing to hone their acting skills and they decided to dramatise a short skit for your viewing pleasure! They also hope to audition for the school talent show!

Sports Day

Blue Iguana Recovery Programme

Year 6 are studying Preservation and Year 5 are looking at how we express ourselves so today they visited the Botanic Park to hear Head Warden John Marotta of the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme talk about Grand Cayman's critically endangered blue iguanas.

Blue Iguanas lived here for 2.5 million years with no natural predators. Introduced animals such as rats, cats and dogs, along with destruction of their forest habitat meant that in 2002 there were only 15 of the creatures left in the wild. Thanks to the work of the Recovery Programme 341 have been released.

We saw the iguanas at different stages of development and were able to ask lots of questions. If you'd like to learn more about our unique creature click HERE!
