Each class this week made a little person to add to a school family.  Within each person, children in the classes thought about people and things that they loved, and ideas of what they would like to be, know and do to be more integrated.  Teachers and pupils in each class shared their thoughts about Integration, what it is, what makes us different in our school to others and why it’s so important to us.
Here is the collection of children from Glengormley IPS that we made from P1-P7 this week.  Each is unique like the children in our school.

4 Primary 7 pupils travelled to Parkhall IC in Antrim today with Mr Arnold, to share in an art workshop with pupils from 3 other neighbouring Integrated Primary Schools.  The staff hosting them had the children involved in making a large banner focussed on the theme this year of “Hearts & Minds” which will take pride of place in the school assembly hall next to the large kite our pupils were involved in making last year.
The children had fun mixing with their peers from other schools whist stimulating their own minds about “what is Integration?” and “what makes it different to other schools?”

Here is an account, as submitted into the Parkhall IC Annual Magazine, of the events that took place last year when we and others from local primary schools were invited to Parkhall Integrated College to celebrate in Integrated Education Week 2010.
