Life in Earlview Primary School

Positive feel in the school

2012-01-25T12:09:00.005Z

It is really encouraging that new pupils seem to be coming here regularly. We have a good intake for September 2012 and others have joined us throughtout the year. Word is finally beginning to filter out that we are here, we are an amazing school and we mean business! Our results are heading up and we hope that you will come and look round the school if you are reading this and want to find out more!

Postman Pat

2012-01-25T12:09:00.002Z

Yes he did really come to Earlview today - but not a cat in sight!!

School Numbers up again

2012-01-06T13:05:00.001Z

It's great that the school numbers are up again. It's great that the community is recognising the excellence in Earlview.

Harvest

2011-10-21T15:44:00.002+01:00

We had a great morning at our Harvest Service with great parent and community support. The children all performed really well and it was great reminder that we should be thankful for all the water we get piped into our homes.
Well done to everyone.

Adult Computer Classes start

2011-09-22T20:05:00.003+01:00

It was great to have about 15 adults at our new season of computer classes for adults. With one more class to meet on a Monday morning, we expect there to be over 25 in total at them!
There is still a little space so if you would like to sign up contact the school (9034 2203)

Irish Dancing Fun!

2011-09-22T20:02:00.002+01:00

It was great to see 28 children - both boys and girls - at the new Irish Dancing classes on Thursday afternoon. It is not too late to join so come along next week and give it a go!
The atmosphere was amazing and the children loved it - as did the Principal!!

If you go down to the woods today.....

2011-09-19T20:25:00.001+01:00

P5/6 had a great morning at the forest at Mossley Mill. They ended up up hungry, dirty, tired but happy!!
A great start to their 12 weeks of outdoor learning!

P5/6 Forest Fun!

2011-09-16T08:08:00.003+01:00

The P5/6 class will be going down to Mossley Mill every Monday morning to take part in outdoor investigation work in their grounds. This fits in really well with the Northern Ireland Curruculum so let's hope every Monday is dry!!

Great to be back

2011-09-09T08:31:00.002+01:00

It's great to be back to increased numbers, school looking really well, new outside signs, children all working hard and a real buzz about the place!
Earlview is really the place to be at the moment!!

Summer time again!!

2011-06-28T14:11:00.002+01:00

Can you believe it??
Where has the year gone? It has been another good year here in Earlview with a superb inspection report and improving results. However it has also been very sad with the death of Wilma, one of our cleaners.
However we move onwards and look forward to a new term in September with our numbers increased again and lots of exciting opportunities for learning.
Watch this space.

Looking to the stars

2011-05-05T07:13:00.002+01:00

The Nursery and P1 - P4 had an amazing morning with the NI Planetarium on the last day of term. The star show was superb an a great way to round off the term. Make sure you ask your children about it.

Have a great holiday

2011-04-18T08:38:00.002+01:00

It's been a long term but a very productive one. The children and staff have all worked really hard and are showing the results which is good to see. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday and I look forward to returning for the last race to June!

Last night was amazing!

2011-03-24T08:27:00.002Z

Snow White was superb!
We had a very good audience who cheered, clapped and boo-ed at all the right times and the children acted their hearts out!!
Phil and Colin's music at the start set the scene really well and I was so proud of the whole night.
Thanks and well done to everyone.

Snow White

2011-03-22T21:42:00.001Z

I can't wait until tomorrow - the show is on.....
If you don't have your ticket yet, there are still a few left.
Please support the children and come and see them.
They deserve a great audience!!

Newtownabbey TImes

2011-02-21T22:43:00.001Z

The photographer from the Newtownabbey Times was in school today to help us celebebrate our inspection report. Hopefully an article will be in the paper this week.

Inspection Success

2011-01-19T18:59:00.002Z

We are delighted with the inspection report which is now available on www.etini.gov.uk
Please do look it up and enjoy. It proves that Earlview Primary School is an excellent place to send your children - as if you didn't already know??!!
Please spread the word and let the whole community know about our success.
There are phrases like:

Pastoral Care is very good
Relationships are excellent
The children are articulate and confident
The provision for Special Educational Needs is good
The provision for English and maths is good
The majority of the teaching was very good or outstanding!!

Well done to all the staff and pupils.

Flooding

2011-01-03T12:39:00.001Z

Please note that due to flooding in our school kitchen there will be no school dinners provided on Tuesday 4th January.

I would ask all parents to ensure that they leave down a packed lunch for their child/children by 12 o’clock. Alternatively, pupils from P5 to P7 may go home for lunch with written parental permission.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Open Day

2010-12-02T06:31:00.002Z

We had a great day - we welcomed many new faces to the school and the place looked realy well. Our initial forms indicate that we will be receiving lots of applications for Nursery, as usual, and hopefully a good intake for P1 in September 2011. Well done to all the children who were taking part during the Open Day.

Inspection

2010-11-03T22:41:00.001Z

We welcome the Department of Education Inspectors into school on Monday morning. We hope they enjoy their stay in the school and like what they see!!
I'll keep you informed.

Harvest and Fancy Dress Fun

2010-10-22T13:51:00.003+01:00

We had a great Harvest Service yesterday which was really well attended by parents and friends. The children all performed well and we heard every word! We launched our charity for the year through the speaker from the Leprosy Mission and we look forward to raising some funds for the excellent work they do during the year.

Today we had all sorts of creatures / people / animals / in school for our fancy dress day! A sight to be seen!! Thanks for your support in allthese events and I hope you have a great holiday!

Nursery Rhyme Day

2010-10-01T11:15:00.002+01:00

It was one of those surreal moments of school life....
As I showed a visitor round the school, and adult Little Bow Peep ran past us at full speed - complete with shepherd's crook in hand!
What can I say!

Adults can learn to!

2010-09-02T06:39:00.002+01:00

Remember that the Northern Regional College will be holding adult computer classes in school every Monday. These two classes are for all abilities and so everyone could come and be taught at your own level. One class starts at 9am and the other starts at 11am. Contact Mrs Carson in the Office for more details. Don't get left behind!!

Back to school

2010-09-02T06:33:00.002+01:00

The school looks so well...
All the children are looking great in their new uniforms and the place is clean and tidy. Yesterday while walking round the school I noted the great air of work and enthusiasm which was clear to be seen. Our numbers of children in school is at its highest for quite a long time, so things are looking up!
Here's to a great year ahead!

Welcome Back!

2010-08-28T07:04:00.003+01:00

The summer is over, school is back and the sun is shining - typical!
No, seriously, it is great to be back and I am looking forward to Tuesday to welcome everyone back for another year. We had a great year last year but this year will be even better!!
It is great to see our numbers increasing again and showing confidence in our school.
See you all on Tuesday - remember we finish at noon!

Have a great holiday

2010-06-30T10:54:00.002+01:00

It has been a great year!!
The children have all worked hard and we have improved our overall results from last year - particularly in maths.
We have a great school and I hope you agree - our parent survey results would certainly agree!
Thanks to all the parents, teaching and non-teaching staff and, of course, the children.
Have a great holiday and see you all on 31 August
Thanks for your support throughout the year.

Leaver's Assembly

2010-06-24T15:23:00.002+01:00

We had lovely morning at our Leavers' Assembly. I was really encouraged by the great turn out of parents and friends as we said goodbye to our P7 children and a few Nursery children. The P7 children reminded us about their favourite memories of school and then the P5 - P7 children sang to us. We then had a cup of tea and a few tears were shed as parents looked back with fond memories.
We wish all the children well as they leave us and look forward to new ones joining us in September.

Sport's Day 2010

2010-06-10T21:49:00.002+01:00

Summer Fair

2010-06-04T09:09:00.003+01:00

M and Ds Fun

2010-05-26T06:24:00.002+01:00

What a great day the children had at M and Ds in Glasgow! They all behaved really well and had a great time - after a LONG journey there!! The weather was good and many tried rides that their parents wouldn't go on!!!
Look at the photogaphs to see what happened.

Fairy Tale with a Difference

2010-04-22T06:24:00.002+01:00

The children who were involved with the recent production of "The Wizard of Oz" went to Glengormley High School for an interactive workshop with Hullabaloo Theatre Company, along with pupils from Hillcroft Special School. They had a brilliant day and were a credit to the school. Well done to them all.

The wicked witch is dead!!

2010-03-20T06:50:00.003Z

I can't believe that it's all over!
Our final peformance of the "Wizard of Oz" was outstanding and I think I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber in the audience!!
Once again, many congratulations and thanks to the children for all their hard work and they were all stars of the show.
Remember that photographs and a DVD of the performance are available to buy from the school Office.
Memories have been made that will never be forgotten - the joy and privilige of teaching!!

We're off to see the Wizard....

2010-03-18T22:42:00.002Z

To say I am proud of the school is an understatement!!
Tonight we had the most amazing production of the "Wizard of Oz". The cast, scenery, props, sound, music and the atmosphere proved to be a most memorable night in the history of the school. The audience loved it and many are coming back for another night tomorrow!!
Well done to all the children who performed their hearts out and made memories for us all! Lots of parents were in tears for all the right reasons!!
Congratulations and well done!!

Wizard of Oz

2010-03-05T08:44:00.002Z

The excitement is building as we now start to sell the tickets for the "Wizard of Oz". The children are working really hard and we hope all will be ready in time for the show!! Please support the children and come on one night (or both!!). Spread the word, as this is a great publicity and selling point for the school.

Half Term

2010-02-09T18:44:00.002Z

Can you believe it...... half term again!

We finish on Friday and we return on Monday 22nd February. It has to be said though that the staff are in for training on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and so only get two days off!!

We're not complaining though!!

Inter-School Road Safety Quiz

2010-01-29T10:22:00.002Z

Once again we were represented well at an Inter-School event. This time it was a road safety quiz held at Ballyearl. Our team - photo on the photograph link - took part well and I was proud of the way they handled themselves in this competition. Well done to them.

Positive Policy!

2010-01-19T14:02:00.002Z

We are updating our Positive School Discipline Policy and would love your input! I am attaching our draft policy to the bottom of the website home page and if you would like to have your input, please make any comment and either email your suggestions to me or print out a copy, write your suggestions on the policy and post to me asap.
This is your chance to get involved in policy making in the school.

Open Day

2010-01-12T17:25:00.003Z

We had a great day yesterday - lots of parents and potential parents came to look round the school - both in the morning and the evening. The PTA had a great spread for refreshments and the atmosphere was relaxed and informative and there was a great buzz around the school. I really enjoyed it and I think others did too??!!

Back again....

2010-01-05T11:43:00.002Z

It's good to be back - even if it is freezing!!
I am just very glad we have no burst pipes - so far!!
It is good to see all the pupils returning ready for a good term's work.

Have a GREAT holiday!

2009-12-17T16:29:00.001Z

I hope everyone reading this has a great holiday and enjoys the break from school!!
See you all in January!!

Hillcroft here for a Christmas Special

2009-12-14T20:24:00.002Z

It was a real pleasure to welcome some young people from Hillcroft School up for a special Carol Service. Our children performed well and the pupils and staff from Hillcroft seemed to enjoy the morning. Well done to all and do look at some photographs on the main photograph page.

Carol Service

2009-12-14T06:15:00.003Z

Don't you love Christmas?

Last night was a superb evening with every pupil involved in our annual Carol Service. We were really well supported and had nearly 300 people at the service - not bad for a school of 143 children! All the children performed brilliantly and it was a pleasure to be able to hand over cheque to the Scott Osprey Wheelchair Fund from the PTA.
Thanks to everyone for a great night.

Football

2009-12-13T07:54:00.001Z

Once again the football team played really well at another of the inter-school competitions at the University of Ulster at Jordanstown. We won 2 matches and lost 2 (narrowly!).

The boys represented the school well and I was vey proud of their playing and behaviour. It was great also to have some parents with us to cheer on the team.

Choir Sing at the Mill

2009-12-13T07:50:00.001Z

I am a really proud Headmaster!

The choir were singing for the Mayor at Mossley Mill for the annual Carol Service. We were asked to take part and we, as usual, did brilliantly!!

Well done to everyone!

Adult Literacy Classes

2009-12-12T07:37:00.002Z

The Northern Regional College will be starting an adult Essential Skills Literacy class on Mondays, starting on 11th January 2010. This is for parents , but also anyone from the local community who would like to develop their English skills. The class will run from 11am - 1pm. Please phone the school if you are interested in joining as there are a few places left.

Football at UUJ

2009-12-12T07:31:00.002Z

Well done boys!

Group from the choir sing at Hillcroft

2009-12-02T20:30:00.000Z

It was a pleasure to be at Hillcroft tonight to take part in the Community Interactive Evening. We had a small group from the choir singing and adding festive spirit to the event and they did really well. Well done to them - see the photographs on the website.

P2/3 Spanish Assembly

2009-11-28T21:02:00.001Z

It was a pleasure to have about 10 parents of P2/3 children attend our assembly taken by this class. Speaking and singing in both English and Spanish it was really impressive. Thanks to Rhina, our Spanish Assistant, who takes the P1 - P4 classes weekly. Also thanks, of course, to Mrs. Tweed, Mrs Cullen and all the children.

Open Day

2009-11-26T08:04:00.000Z

Please note that our Open Day is 13th January 2010 - and NOT 14th January 2009 as was published last week in the local paper! They published the advert from last year. However the correct one was inserted in the papers today so spread the word - 13th January 2010. Further details will follow.

Tell the world........

2009-11-25T12:02:00.000Z

It's the time of year again when we look ahead to next September and the new pupils who will be coming to Earlview. We want to really publicise the school and so if you feel you can help in any way to distribute leaflets or anything else to get our name out there, please let me know!
If you are involved in clubs or societies around the area and could put up a leaflet, let me know and I will give you either an A4 poster or A5 leaflets which could be given out. Please help us to keep the school name high on the agenda!

Corridor Wall Displays

2009-11-25T12:00:00.001Z

I have taken some photographs of corridor wall displays to let everyone see what the inside of the school looks like - these are only some of the displays on show. See if you can see your child's work?

Tree Planting in the Estate

2009-11-24T15:47:00.000Z

Football Fun

2009-11-21T06:25:00.000Z

Well done to the boys who went to the University of Ulster at Jordanstown for an inter-school football fun day. They all played really well, behaved really well and were a credit to the school. There will be another of these days in December when the real competition begins so we look forward with excitement!!

Mrs Scott Leaves us

2009-11-16T09:59:00.001Z

It was with real sadness that we said goodbye to Mrs Scott on Friday. She has been appointed to another school in Co. Down - closer to her home. We wish her well and thank her for all the Special Needs help she has given over the years. We will miss her chat and lovely manner with all the children.

After School Day Care Rockets!!

2009-11-10T15:17:00.000Z

The After School Day Care is going from strength to strength! Yesterday we had 20 hours of daycare and today we have 21!!
Long may it continue!!

Recycling in Full Swing

2009-11-09T19:09:00.000Z

We are now recycling clothes, shoes, towels, blankets and sheets. Please place them in the yellow Clothing Bank in the car park at any stage. These will be collected at regular intervals and the school will get money depending on how much is inside!!

Old mobile phones, Ipods and laptop computers can also be left in school for recycling and again the school will benefit from each one recycled.

Please help us raise funds in this way!

Aluminium Cans for a Wheelchair!

2009-11-09T19:04:00.000Z

We are delighted to be able to help one of our families to raise funds for the purchase of a new wheelchair for their son. Jessica Osprey's brother, Scott, needs a new special wheelchair to make life a little bit easier for him and we delighted to do our bit to support the family. Please leave all your aluminium drinks cans in the green bin in the entrance hall to be collected by Scott's mother. If you feel you would like to donate money to this worthy cause, please speak to Mr. Smyth who would forward details of how to do so.

Have a great holiday

2009-10-24T06:29:00.000+01:00

We had a great few days here in school - the Harvest service was a great event and the Fancy Dress Day yesterday was amazing! We raised £100 for the charity Heartbeat - so thanks to all who supported us and gave a donation. Enjoy your week off school and see you all on 2nd November.

Amazing

2009-10-18T19:46:00.000+01:00

I think it is amazing that there have now been over 10000 hits on the school website! It is great to see it being well used and I love it!! Any ideas as to how we could improve it??

Website messages

2009-10-10T06:41:00.000+01:00

Just realised that six messages to the website had been sent to the wrong email account for moderating and I didn't see them - until today!!
That is the reason that they took so long to appear on the site!
Sorry about that!

Harvest Celebration

2009-10-09T16:24:00.001+01:00

Don't forget to put our Harvest Celebration in your diary - Thursday 22 October at 9.15am.
We would love the hall to be filled with parents and friends of the pupils to come and enjoy our thanksgiving service. At this service we will be handing over our shoe boxes to Blythswood - I wonder will we get 100 boxes??!!
It's always a great service so please try and come.

Anti- bacterial Gel

2009-10-07T19:55:00.000+01:00

We have recently put up an anti-bacterial gel dispenser at the front door. Feel free to use this as part of our on-going drive for a healthy school. Remember that the Government insist that the best way to avoid catching swine flu is thorough washing of the hands in soap and warm water. All our toilets have this and we encourage our children to do this frequently throughout the day. Please reinforce this with your children at home also.

Mr. McQuillan comes back!

2009-10-06T16:30:00.001+01:00

It was a great pleasure to welcome back our former Principal, Mr. John McQuillan, to speak with the P5/6 class. They had asked that he come to help them with some of their class work. It was great to see him.

It's a Boy!!

2009-10-02T11:34:00.001+01:00

Many congratulations to Mrs McKeown on the birth of their first child - Jude Jonathan McKeown. We wish them all well and hope that they all get lots of sleep and rest!!

Margaret Johnston Retires

2009-10-01T18:06:00.001+01:00

We had a great morning today when we welcomed back Margaret Johnston into the school. She had been a major part of Earlview for eight years while she worked as a Lunchtime Supervisor and a cleaner. Unfortunately, as she has been off for over a year now on ill health, she has had to retire from her posts. We miss her sense of fun and her infectious laugh about the school and it was lovely to hear it today!!

We wish her well in her retirement and hope she has many long and happy years - and we also hope she calls in from time to time to see us............

Computer tests next week!

2009-09-24T15:48:00.001+01:00

All the P4 - P7 children will be sitting INCAS Computer testing next week. These Maths and English tests are completed by all children of this age throughout N. Ireland and will give each child a Reading Age and a General Maths age. Parents will be told the results of these tests at the Parent/ Teacher interviews in October.

RAIN in Earlview

2009-09-19T07:40:00.000+01:00

During this year all the Primary School teachers will all be involved in a R.A.I.N. Project (Raising Attainment in Numeracy). This will involve training in maths teaching and also getting time out of class to work with groups of their children with the aim of pushing the children to a higher level of attainment. This should be a great help to many children. We''ll see in June 2010!!

Adult ICT Classes up and Running

2009-09-18T09:18:00.001+01:00

It was great to see the two adult Essential Skills ICT classes up and running in school yesterday. There was a great buzz around the ICT Suite and all the adults seemed to enjoy it! It is great to see the school being so widely used by the community.

Still on their best behaviour!

2009-09-15T06:47:00.000+01:00

I am giving out more awards for great behaviour and working hard than I have done for some time. It is great to see such a good attitude to work about the school throughout all classes.

Adult Computer Class starts

2009-09-08T11:48:00.001+01:00

There will be a meeting of all who put their names down for any of the adult classes in the school on Wednesday 16th September at 9.30am. This will be to sort out who goes to which class.

The adult Computer Class will then start on Thursday of next week - 17th September - at 9am. However since 39 people have registered I'm not quite sure where everyone is going to go! We will get something sorted though. There will be at least two classes 9 - 11 and 11 - 1pm so we'll see what happens!!
Great to see such an interest.

Class Newsletters

2009-09-04T06:24:00.001+01:00

Hope you like the new class newsletters. The idea is to keep you informed about what is going on in your child's class so you can help them with the topics they are covering in school. Sometimes it is hard to get information from your child about what is actually happening in the classroom!!

Toilets

2009-09-04T06:21:00.000+01:00

If you have been in school leaving your child to the After School Day Care, you will have noticed work going on in the toilets in that area. We are putting in disabled facilities and eventually hope to re-new all the toilets throughout the school.

What a day..........

What a day today was - the canteen staff told me that everyone in the dinner hall had said "please" and "thank you" for their meal!
I also gave out two awards to older children for excellent work in class and the children have been exceptionally well behaved around the school!
On walking throughout the day I sensed a great attitude of work by all the pupils (and teachers!!) - well done to everyone!

Day one over

2009-09-01T22:58:00.000+01:00

It was a great day - lovely to see all the new P1 children, some new pupils throughout the school and some of the Nursery ones also. They all seemed happy once they got settled in. School was looking well and there was a great buzz of excitement around the place.

Ready to go......

We are now ready to go.
Looking forward now to the new term - hope you are??!!

Nuts

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCHOOL AND NURSERY ARE NOW NUT FREE ZONES AS WE HAVE A CHILD WHO IS SEVERELY ALLERGIC TO NUTS

The Parent Room

Remember that the Parent Room is for you - the parents!!

It is open 9am - 3pm and has free internet access, a large screen tv and free tea and coffee on tap!

Come in and get a bit of space and even read this blog when you are there!!!

Enter the school through the main front door, let the secretary or Principal know you are going to the room, turn right and it is through the double doors at the end of the corridor. ENJOY AND USE AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE.

Don't get left behind!

Want to keep on learning? The Northern Regional College could be running classes in Earlview in English, Maths and Computers. Speak to Mrs Carson or Mr Smyth for details as soon as possible. Lots of people have already signed up so join in the fun!! This is for anyone - even if they have no connection with the school, so spread the word!

Numbers going up!
