  CPS Virtual Sports Day

   

  During this term, classes in Comber Primary would normally be practicing for our June sports day. Sadly, we cannot do that this year, but we have instead entered the Healthy Kidz Virtual Sports Day.  This is a fun event that all pupils can enter and full details can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of this news item. Activities can be completed in the garden or in the street. 

   

  You simply need to register using the link below and then download the free Healthy Kidz app and register as a pupil at Comber Primary. There are individual prizes to be won, as well as a class trip to W5 for the class whose pupils complete the most activities.

   

  Please encourage your child to enter. This is a great opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle in a fun and enjoyable way. We’d love to see photos of our pupils taking part and share them on our website. If you have any photos, please email them to cbradley874@c2kni.net.

  Hi everyone...I have created a few documents on different websites and APPs which link well with Literacy, Numeracy, ICT and all other areas of the curriculum. It is very much not an exhaustive list, but may help for a few different activities and approaches at home. You can find these in About Us --> Curriculum --> ICT

• Home Learning Fun with Science

  Fri 27 Mar 2020

  In school we usually do a Science Day but you now have the chance to do some of the activities at home with your child. The activities are fun.  Why not spend an hr doing one of them.  

   

  Each activity is linked to an Irish Scientist and there is a fun PowerPoint to watch, a lesson plan of what the lesson is all about and also worksheets.

   

  Although the lessons are divided up into Nursery to P7, you can pick any of the activities you might like to do.  Most can be done using materials you already have in your house.    

   

  Click on the link below to see the Science lessons and lots of other activities.

  I hope you have fun doing some of these activities.

• PTA Fitness Day

  Wed 25 Mar 2020

  We were very sorry to miss out on our PTA fitness day due to school closures. 

  Happily, Grant Davison has uploaded a video for our pupils (and hopefully parents!) that will make up for not having this fun event.  Just copy and paste the link below:

  Many thanks to Grant for taking the time to do this.
