We said a very fond and emotional farewell to the incomparable Mrs Gillespie. After an incredible 42 years, today marked the beginning of Mrs Gillespie’s retirement.
She has been a dedicated and exceptional teacher and has taught over 1000 pupils. Her love of music has also shone through in the many plays, nativities and choir performances that she has directed over the years.
Mrs Gillespie is a much loved member of the Mossgrove family and the staff and children will miss her immeasurably! We wish her well for new adventures ahead. Happy retirement Mrs Gillespie!
Mrs Dickinson created this short video featuring our pupils, sharing their very special reasons for what they love about Mossgrove!
Our Primary 4 class had a very special day out at NVTV studios in Belfast. They got to take part in a production of ‘Storytime with Mr Hullabaloo.’ Their episode 'Farmyard Friends' is available to watch on You Tube.
TV stars in the making!!
