At Bushmills Primary School the day does not end when the bell rings.  We offer Extended Schools to all children in Primary 1 to 7. 

Extended schools provides children with a safe environment to develop their creative, social and physical skills.  As a healthy eating school each child is provided with fresh fruit and water as an afternoon snack.  Each day children are provided with a variety of activities to enhance their Numeracy and Literacy skills in a relaxed manner through games and ICT.  To encourage physical fitness a wide selection of physical activities is also provided on a daily basis.

This term Primary 3, 4 and 5 have been enjoying developing their sense of rhythm in Fun with Drums workshops taken by James Hamilton.  Primary 6 and 7 have been exploring the world of Film on a Friday afternoon when they get the chance to be film critics, choosing films from a wide selection and then reviewing the films they watch.

Boys in Primary 4-7 have been getting to know the rules of Tag Rugby, while children in P1-3 have been developing their skills with Fundamental Movements.
