Reading books was never so appetising. As part of their activities during World Book Day 2012 our Primary School pupils had the tasty challenge of identifying books by the foods associated with them.

During the special anniversary celebrations of the Authorised Version of the Bible pupils of Kilskeery Independent Christian School were delighted to visit a special exhibition of Bibles hosted by Omagh Free Presbyterian Church. We want to thank the kind congregation in Omagh for the generous gift to each child of a copy of the Word of God.

KS2 pupils in Kilskeery have been studying topics in French this year. Recently much fun was had when a déjeuner français was held one Friday lunchtime. As well as practising French conversation around the meal table, the hungry and excited pupils sampled some French dishes. Favourite new tastes included oeufs durs, sardines, pain au chocolat, brie and camembert, baguette and a tarte aux pommes. Even the washing up was fun that day!

The pupils of our Christian schools have long been interested in and supporters of missionary endeavours. Every day and every week pupils are encouraged to pray specifically for missionaries and their needs in different parts of the world. Over the last couple of months, we have had enjoyable visits from Miss McAfee, Principal of the Christian School in Kenya, and Rev Wesley and Mrs Graham, missionaries to Nepal.

Our pupils listened with interest to accounts of different cultures and spiritual needs in Kenya and Nepal. It is the earnest desire of our teachers that from the ranks of our pupils there would be many others called and used in the service of the Lord.

During the Easter break some excited pupils in Mrs Wilson’s KS3 English class received letters confirming that poems they had recently written and submitted in the Young Writers competition, Past Poets – Future Voices, were to be published this term. The subjects and style of writing were the pupils’ own choice and ranged from poems about pets to poems about family and seasons. As well as seeing their successful work in print, the pupils will be entered in the next round of the competition to select winners across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Well done to the budding poets and their inspiring teacher!
