Well the boys who participated in the Buckley Cup Competition at Loughgall Football Club on Friday 27th May 2022. A great day out was had by all. Behaviour both on and off the pitch was excellent! A special mention goes to Ben Woolsy who won the Most Promising Player Award! Great stuff Ben!!!
MUSFA Girls’ Football Tournament 2022
The girls from P6 & 7 competed in the MUSFA football tournament at King’s Park PS in Lurgan on Friday 13th May. The team played matches against: Mullaglass PS, Hart Memorial PS, Orchard County PS, King’s Park PS and Maralin Village PS. The girls played extremely well and thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon away from the classroom. A special mention goes to Brooke Cordner who had an outstanding performance as goalkeeper.
P7 Shannaghmore Residential Trip 2023
The P7 pupils enjoyed a very active residential trip to the Shannaghmore Centre outside Newcaste Co. Down from 24th – 26th April 2023. The pupils took part in bouldering, adventure walk, high ropes course, archery, orienteering and beach walk. They also had a video night as a treat on the Tuesday night. In many cases pupils overcame their initial fear in order to meet a challenge head on and achieve a personal goal. Well done all of you!! The pupils were accompanied by Mr. Hall, Mr. Clyde and Mrs. Heatrick.
Shared Education 2019-2020 P1/2
The P1/2 class in Richmount PS met their friends from St John’s, Eglish PS for the first day of their Shared Education programme. All the children enjoyed a fun-filled day at Cheeky Monkeys Adventure Playground in Newry. Even Mrs Gamble, Mrs Greer and Mrs Black had super fun!
P4/5 RNLI Lifeboat Station in Newcastle
The P4/5 class along with Mr Clyde, Mrs Wilson and Mrs Heatrick, visited the RNLI Lifeboat Station in Newcastle as part of their work on Seas and Oceans. The children toured the station, met the crew, watched some real-life rescues off the Newcastle coast on DVD, tried on the gear and safety equipment and climbed on board the All-Weather and Inshore Lifeboats. Each child received a badge, pencil and activity sheet on the completion of the tour.
After the tour we walked into Newcastle and enjoyed lunch in KFC. The children enjoyed spending their money in the Bon-Bon sweet shop and after that Mr Clyde treated everyone to ice-cream in Nugelato. A great day was had by everyone and the children were praised on the excellent behaviour and good manners everywhere they went.
Shared Education 2019-2020 P7
The P7 class at Richmount PS had a very successful introductory day to their Shared Education programme. The P6/7 class travelled from St John’s, Eglish PS for an action-packed day of ice-breaker activities, team challenges and sports’ tournament. Mr Clyde and Mr McKenna would like to thank Karol McQuade who helped lead the day. Pupils integrated very well together and enjoyed spending time chatting over their lunch. The P7 class will travel to St Johns next Friday (14th Feb) for day 1 of their STEM activities focused on the topic of Flight.

THE BIG WATER BUS VISITS RICHMOUNT!
The members of the school Eco-team arranged for the Water Bus to visit P5/6/7 at Richmount on Friday 6th March to give pupils a better understanding of the water cycle, where our water comes from, how our water is cleaned and purified and most importantly, how we can conserve water in the home and at school.
WORLD BOOK DAY
The pupils and staff of Richmount Primary School celebrated World Book Day last Friday by coming to school dressed as a character from a book they selected. A boy and girl were chosen from each class as the ‘best-dressed character.’ Book-themed literacy was the focus in each class throughout the day.
Many thanks to all pupils and parents for the fantastic effort with many fabulous costumes on display!
P7 Class Present Cheque To Air Ambulance NI
On Thursday 14th November Colleen Milligan, fundraiser manager, visited Richmount PS to chat to the P7 class about the work of the Air Ambulance NI and receive the donation from their recent coffee morning held in school. Pupils were given the opportunity to ask her questions and find out what their £730 raised would be used for. The class would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all their sponsors, supporters, suppliers and pupils for their generosity.
