  Mon 05 Feb 2018 Mr McKane
  The team at the Irish Golf Expo are delighted to launch their brand new #GOLFORALL initiative, part of which sees every school in Northern Ireland allocated with 50 X FREE FAMILY TICKETS to Ireland's largest interactive golf event, which is taking place on the 3-4 March at the Titanic Exhibition Centre, Belfast.
  
  The giveaway is designed to introduce more young people to the game of golf, with the event boasting some great activities to help the next Rory McIlroy to catch the golfing bug.  From free kids lessons to the infamous washing machine challenge sponsored by media partner Q Radio, there really is something for all ages and abilities.
  
  For the first time a large scale Family Fun Day will be on-site to complement the golfing activities, guaranteeing an action packed and exciting family day out for all involved.

• Operation Christmas Child 2017

  Tue 28 Nov 2017 Mr McKane

  "A small shoebox can have a big impact. What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out of it is eternal."

   

  Operation Christmas Child sends shoeboxes full of presents to children all over the world to let them know they are loved and not forgotten. At Dundonald Primary School, our pupils have been very generous and have donated hundreds of items to help fill shoeboxes. 

  

• Peter Pan comes to Dundonald Primary for a 'flying' visit!

  Tue 28 Nov 2017 Mr McKane

  On November 24th, Peter Pan, Wendy and the rest of the gang joined Primary 1-4 in the assembly hall for a special pantomime with lots of singing, acting and dancing. All around the school you could hear booing and hissing at the merciless Captain Hook and victorious cheers for Peter Pan! Primary 1-4 had lots of fun! 

   

   

  

• Children In Need Day

  Fri 17 Nov 2017 Mrs Sloan
  It was a "Spotacular" day on Friday 17th November as pupils and staff participated in a variety of spotty fundraisers for Children in Need. To name a few, P1 held their annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic, there were funky feet strutting their stuff in Primary 2, a jokeathon in Primary 5 and Miss Ellis' P7 class crowned champions; creating the longest line of 10p coins.
  We thank everyone for their efforts in helping us to raise a grand total of £1062!
