A big thank you to all the children and parents for taking part in 'Hats and Shades Day'. We raised £180, which was fantastic. The children really enjoyed wearing their hats and shades to school. We even brought out the sun :) Thank you to Ruth from 'Cancer Fund for Children', for coming to our school and telling the children about this worthy charity and for teaching us about sun safety.

As part of our Eco-school topics we are looking at keeping healthy. We had the Kinetic Theater Company in on Thursday the 23rd May and they presented - 'Fillacavity Hotel'. They taught the children all about what we should be eating to keep our teeth healthy, and the different types of teeth we have. The children really enjoyed the show - as did the adults. 

Thank you to all who supported our balloon release event on Friday 3rd May. There was a great turn out of family and friends to the coffee afternoon. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to get together and support our school. The children were so excited to see all the balloons floating away. Who knows where they will end up! Please see events page for a video of this.

McKinney Primary has been awarded the Eco-Flag. A big congratulations goes out to Miss Trimble, the Eco-Committee, everyone in McKinney and the volunteers from the community. You did it! Thank you all for your support in making this possible.

P1, P2 and P3 visited the Argory on Thursday the 2nd May. We were lucky to get such nice weather, which meant we could play with the old toys outside and play in the playpark. We had a tour of the old house and enjoyed the lovely walk to it through the grounds. We all had a great time.
