HARVEST AND HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS IN OUR CANTEENS!

There's been plenty of Halloween and Harvest fun in primary school canteens right across Northern Ireland over the past couple of weeks!

The celebrations were all about enjoying some delicious food too! Our kitchen teams served up Monster Meatball Marinara for Halloween, while schools celebrating Harvest enjoyed a hearty Beef Stew with Crusty Bread.

We visited St Patrick's Pennyburn to join in their Halloween celebrations, and what a day we had! Monica and her kitchen team had the canteen decked out with our Lunch Bunch Halloween decorations, and the place looked spooktacular!

It was great to see the effort that had gone into making the day enjoyable for the children, and just how much fun everyone was having.

Make sure you have a look through our photo gallery, which includes plenty of pictures from our visit to Pennyburn as well as celebrations at other schools.

Keep an eye out for Poyntzpass Primary School, where Harvest was a real whole-school occasion! The school choir sang, and the Young Farmers' Club invited some local farmers in for lunch.

And at Waringstown Primary School, the Primary 2 pupils got involved by helping to plan a special Harvest-themed menu for the canteen, celebrating some of the wonderful produce of the season.

A big thank you to Monica and her team at Pennyburn, and to all our kitchen teams who put so much effort into these celebrations!

💡 Forty-five GenAI Champion teachers from across Northern Ireland travelled to Google in Dublin last week to explore the potential of Gemini Pro licences for administration, planning, and teaching and learning.

The GenAI Champions are currently supporting C2k/EdIS with the roll-out of Copilot and Gemini licences. As part of their training support, the Champions explored effective use of Gemini’s latest additions, how to support schools in their adoption of GenAI, and engaged in professional discussions on the role of the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Educators (AI CFT) to ensure a human-centred approach to adopting new technologies.

💻 Along with hands-on workshops facilitated by the C2k eLearning Team, attendees heard inspiring insights from Grace Kelly; Google Head of Digital Transformation UK and Ireland; Andrew Caffrey, Canopy CEO; and Damian Harvey, Interim EdIS Programme Director, who highlighted how a recent pilot across NI schools showed that Gemini empowered educators, drove inclusion, and improved digital literacy among pupils.

There was also a Gemini Champion Showcase led by teachers Katy Lynas Craig, Nicole Donnelly, and Michael McCann. Working across Nursery, Primary and Post Primary respectively, these teachers presented real-world classroom applications of Gemini such as creating custom stories, building interactive math games, and condensing complex source materials to pupil-friendly infographics.

🤝 Thank you to Google for hosting this extremely beneficial day of AI learning and collaboration.
