• Goodbye Mrs Simpson

  Thu 19 Oct 2017

  At our harvest service Comber Primary School said 'goodbye' to Mrs Simpson who is retiring after twenty years working as a lunchtime supervisor. Mrs Simpson will be greatly missed by all pupils and staff and we wish her a happy, relaxing and fun retirement.

  P7 pupils Sam Cree, Sara Marks and Alex Watson shared their memories of Mrs Simpson and presented her with a card and flowers. 

  

• A huge 'THANK YOU'

  Harvest 2017

   

  On Thursday 19th October, we met together as a school to celebrate Harvest. We were entertained by the Key Stage 2 choir who sang 'Desert Song' and 'Thrive' and the P4 children who sang 'It's Harvest Time'. Children from P3-7 led our service which had a focus on The Trussell Trust who run Foodbanks throughout The U.K. As a school we have collected lots of donations of food which will be given to our local foodbank in Newtownards. A huge 'THANK YOU' to every pupil, parent and friend of CPS for their generous and kind donations.

• M & M Productions

  Tue 03 Oct 2017 Mrs N Robinson

  Today the pupils from P2-P7 watched M & M Theatrical Productions present the 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'.

  There was plenty of audience participation from clapping and singing along to jeering! All pupils enjoyed the way in which the "hilarious" actors portrayed a very meaningful message...

  'It does not matter what you look like from the outside, all that matters is that you are brave and show others the good heart you have on the inside.'
