To date the Eco-Committee have raised over £100 which will be used to purchase some plants to enhance our outdoor science classroom.

Book Week NI
Tue 17 Oct 2023As we approach 'Love your Library Day' which is celebrated as part of Book Week NI a number of our Year 4 and 5 pupils had a visit from our local librarian Claire. Claire read the children lots of stories which they really enjoyed listening to and chatting about. We are very lucky to have an active library service in Crumlin and we look forward to our inperson visits throughout the school year.
Many thanks again Claire for today's visit and the Book Week NI book marks.
