Year 6 created shadow puppets based on the story 'James and the Giant Peach' and learned all about light, transparency and translucency. They wrote their own scripts and performed their shadow plays for their Year 2 reading buddies.

Year 5 have combined their knowledge of the Ancient Egyptians, human organs, circuits, 3D shape and procedural writing to create these amazing Egyptian Operation games. If the tweezers touch the tinfoil whilst you're removing an organ, the nose lights up!

Our school Open Night Video 2017. Please watch and pass on.

Year 6 wrote stories about the creatures found in our pond, then took their Year 2 reading buddies to the pond and read them to them. As you can see from the pictures, they put a lot of effort into their work.

We had some interesting visitors from Macedonia in school yesterday. In partnership with NICIE, they are visiting Northern Ireland to find out about integrated education and were really impressed by all of our boys girls.

This video of Year 2 doing their Autumn Leaves Dance is perfect to brighten up a dark, cold Monday evening.

All of our school community is invited to attend this exhibition in The Ulster Museum which charts the history of integrated education.

There was lots of Halloween fun at Lough View today! Thank you to the parents' council who organised a really terrific disco. Have a great half-term everyone!

Yesterday Key Stage 2 had a really interesting assembly from local author, Jan Carson, who told us about how she became an author, how she first got published and how to keep our imaginations alive. Then she held some really enjoyable workshops for the Year 6s who did some lovely creative writing.

The football team still smiling yesterday despite a narrow defeat at Moneyreagh. Well done for your good sportsmanship boys!

Today we are extra proud of our Year 6s who loaded up all of our Storehouse donations and brought them to the Storehouse warehouse, where they sorted them into categories and packed bags to help feed over 50 families in Belfast. This was an excellent opportunity for the children to see how much thought and organisation goes in to running a charity such as this and it does not just stop with donating some food. It also enable them to put into action one of our UNCRC articles, 'All children have the right to nutritious food'. Many thanks to Alan Carson who made this trip possible and thank you to everyone in our school community who donated food.

Congratulations to Hannah and Karis who represented Lough View at the Swim Ulster Schools' Cup Gala on Saturday 21st October. With almost 500 swimmers, it was a very busy meet and both girls swam very well with PBs in their races. Well done girls!
