P5 this week participated in the first week of Pilot experiences for primary school children in Northern Ireland, making use of C2K’s latest software addition to the school managed service. We are now able to net-conference using webcam technology via our interactive whiteboards to share experiences and converse with many other people in other parts of the world. On this occasion the children were presented to by the Education Officer from Belfast Zoo, who shared video, and real-time live animals and mini-beasts, broadcasting live from the NEELBTV’s “The Truck” mobile broadcasting studio. John the education officer was linked up with 6 schools in total, of which GIPS was one and the children were encouraged to participate by asking questions and listening to answers. The whole experience was reasonably successful, but for a few technical glitches, but it certainly demonstrated the potential to all involved of what great tools are now available for future collaborative use with staff and pupils. Well done to all involved! We will be getting further opportunities to work again with C2K to promote this new facility around the country.

Peace Proms 2011
Children from P5-7 participated in the wonderful Peace Proms yesterday (Sunday 6th Feb 2011) at the Waterfront Hall in support of the Cross Border Orchestra. Mrs Lyness was presented this beautiful certificate with the rest of teachers present at the end of the concert. Lots of parents came along and really enjoyed seeing their children perform in such a wonderful spectacle. Well done to all those involved!
Today the P6 children got to play some indoor hockey with the Captain of the Belfast Giants. This was to promote health and fitness in schools, a scheme run by the Giants, sponsored by Tesco. The kids all had a great time and got some signed programmes in return from the Captain for all their efforts.
Here are some delightfully festive photos published in the Christmas week edition of The Newtownabbey Times.

A great day had by all.
We celebrated our 75th Anniversary this year with a Fun Day in the school grounds on Saturday 25th Sept 2010. We had great support from many agencies and vendors, and the turnout was excellent. Thanks to all for making it such a success. Here are some of the photos from the day, more to follow. Keep an eye out for the Newtownabbey Times this week where there should be more alongside a celebration feature.
