What’s happening at Forge next week?

On Thursday, we were invited to attend the Carson Awards at malone_college.

The Carson Awards are awards for the Arts and invites entries from KS1-KS4 children and young people in the areas of Art, dance, music and film media.

We were absolutely delighted to be awarded a Special Award for Parental and Community Involvement for the whole school art exhibition ’The Best Part of Me’.

One of our P5 children also received a special prize after entering the competition to design a card to represent her view of Integration. Her design was made into a real card and was also framed for her.

Thank you to the Carson family and the family of Brian Garrett for sponsoring these awards and giving the Integrated sector a chance to enjoy all that is so good about it.

Yesterday we celebrated Irish Maths Week at Forge 🧮

After a special maths assembly with Miss MacKenna, the children took a tour round NI with themed maths challenges linked to each county.

However, from the photos, it looks like buddy time in the forest was the real hit of the day! Older children buddied with younger children, including the Pre School to complete a maths trail.

What an amazing day 😀

What happening at Forge this week?

There’s plenty going on as usual!

🧮 On Wednesday we celebrate Irish Maths Week with a tour around Northern Ireland. Each year group will focus on an area of NI during their day of maths activities and classes will ‘buddy up’ for a maths trail in the forest.

🎃 Homework this week is a creative one for all! Can you make a monster out of recycled materials? We can’t wait to see the creativity our children always bring to these challenges!

Today was Sports Day at Forge - lots of athletics, fun and good vibes!
A huge thank you to Mr Migan - I think we can all agree his planning and ex*****on was faultless and ensured that all children felt included and successful!
Thank you to Natalie and the PTA for tea, coffee, buns, ice pops, orange slices, sound system and all your support…there are so many things we just couldn’t do without you!
Thank you Keith - your compère skills were truly legendary and really added to the happy atmosphere!
Thank you also to Wellington College Belfast for the use of your pitch - we were truly blessed to have this space!
The children had a ball, parents and families spent some time in the sun and I’m sure everyone will sleep well tonight!

Today we returned to school after yesterday’s early closure, and we couldn’t be prouder of the children. We approached the challenging issues currently playing out in our society openly and honestly, using our integrated ethos and anti‑bias curriculum to guide us. We listened to the children’s thoughts, fears, and questions, and we reassured every single one of them that school is a safe place for them to learn, talk, and be heard.

In our wonderfully diverse community — where many families have been personally affected or deeply frightened — the children showed extraordinary maturity. They spoke about racism, about the danger of tarring whole groups of people with the same brush, and about why violence and hatred must always be challenged.

Their compassion, clarity, and courage remind us exactly why we do this work. We are so proud to be preparing these young people to take their place in society, and to shape a future rooted in understanding, fairness, and respect.

We are really looking forward to the Birthday Fair on Thursday 6-8pm.
It will be a wonderful night and we have loads planned!
Please remember to bring cash.

Buns can be dropped of at school on Thursday morning or just before the fair.
Thank you so much for all your support!

The forecast is saying it will clear and be dry so let’s keep hoping for that.

See you then!
