Do you like my new front cover design? With January traditionally a time for new beginnings, I thought it was the perfect issue to use it for the first time. Let me know what you think.

This issue is jam packed with special offers - just look at the list below. Probably the most we’ve ever had.

Make good use of them - if you make New Year resolutions, resolve to use our local businesses whenever possible. You know it makes sense!

And remember to enter the Movie House competition three pairs of cinema tickets are up for grabs. Last year’s competition was really popular, with the largest number of entries for any competition I’ve run, and I’m expecting the same this year. If you’re not in, you cant win!

Until next time.....

CAIRNSHILL PRIMARY SCHOOL TERM DATES (excluding exceptional closure/training days): SPRING TERM 2015 Monday 5th January to Tues 31st March Half Term Monday 16th February & Tuesday 17th February SUMMER TERM 2015 Monday 13th April to Tuesday 30th June May Day Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2015 Spring Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2015 'Funsie in a Onesie' Day Many thanks to everyone who supported the 'Funsie in a Onesie' day. There was a huge variety of onesies on display from cartoon characters to animals and even superheroes everyone looked great!

More importantly, we will be able to pass on all your generous donations to the Cancer Fund for Children to support their work with families in Northern Ireland.

On Wednesday 12th November, an excited group of P6 pupils travelled with anticipation to the Navan Centre in Armagh. The purpose of the trip was to learn about life in Ireland during the time of the Vikings.

The children dressed as monks and used feather quills to write prayers of protection in the Scriptorium. Beautiful celtic designs were drawn on disks and it was fun to write names using the Runic Alphabet. A vicious Viking displayed his weapons and explained how Irish dwellings were raided and ransacked! We discovered interesting facts about slaves, home life and how animals were hunted. A guide taught us about the Viking hierarchy and allowed us to study some artefacts which could have been stored in a Viking time capsule. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out of school. We learned a great deal about life in Viking times and are looking forward to learning more!

NEWTOWNBREDA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION recently organised a very successful Crime Prevention Coffee Morning for residents in the area in Newtownbreda Library.

A very enlightening and informative talk covered the main ways to protect property and safeguard against bogus callers and Internet fraud.

The positive feedback from those in attendance has encouraged The Association to organise more events on various issues of concern to local residents MENCAP’S NEW CENTRE - SOD CUTTING CEREMONY Mencap in Northern Ireland’s dream of building a centre for children with a learning disability and their families, took a big step forward on 28th November when Derek Lewis, Mencap’s chair, cut the first sod at the official ground-breaking ceremony in Newtownbreda.

The £4.6 million centre will bring the therapeutic care, information and support that children with a learning disability and their families need under one roof. At its heart will be Mencap’s relocated Segal House nursery for 2 to 4 year-olds.

Mencap’s chief executive, Jan Tregelles, joined over 100 guests for the celebration, including children who attend Segal House Nursery, their parents, nursery graduates, major donors, Mencap supporters and staff. Three-year-old Gemma McKinley, who attends Segal House Nursery and Peter Livingstone, who was at the nursery in the early 1990s, ably assisted Mencap’s chair to cut the first sod.

The Mayor of Castlereagh, Alderman Jack Beattie and Brian Ambrose, chair of Mencap’s Big Step Forward public appeal also assisted in the ground-breaking ceremony.

The new centre is being designed and built by the Belfast-based company Mascott Construction who began the demolition of the old Newtownbreda Primary School in December to make way for the centre.

Pictured are: Peter Livingstone, who formerly attended Mencap's Segal House Nursery; Alderman Jack Beattie, Mayor of Castlereagh; Paschal McKeown, acting country director, Mencap in NI; Derek Lewis, Mencap chair; Brian Ambrose, chair, Mencap's Big Step Forward Appeal; Amanda & Gemma McKinley, who currently attends Segal House Nursery; Nicole Varney, Mum to Ordhran, who currently attends Segal House Nursery.

A big thank you to St Ita’s PTFA for packing the hampers and to all the staff for wrapping the hampers so beautifully.

John from St Vincent de Paul, pictured right with Mrs Gillespie and P6 pupils, collected the hampers for distribution within the parish and beyond.

St Ita’s Choir performed at the switch on of the Christmas Tree and Courtyard Lights at the Four Winds. Pretty in Pink Charity patron, Katie Larmour and Santa helped the choir with the countdown to the big switch on.

After the Choir had finished singing, Santa gave lots of lovely gifts to all the children. It was a lovely way to get everyone in the mood for Christmas!
