This week at STEM we worked on 2D and 3D shapes. We used matchsticks and play-doh to create 3D shapes such as cubes, cuboid, prisms and pyramids. We were then set a challenge to build a structure using marshmallows and at least 10 cocktail sticks that would be able to withstand an earthquake!
Well done to everyone who entered our Easter competition. As always, the standard of the items made were outstanding. Mrs Craig and Liz had a very tough job judging the work. Everyone enjoyed visiting the hall to look at everyone's creations.
Congratulations to all our egg hunt winners. Everyone had great fun searching for the eggs, all well hidden by our enterprise helpers! There was a little treat inside each egg for every child and one egg contained the winning golden Jewel for a prize!
Winners were as follows:
Nursery - Nathan
P1/2 - Sophie N
P2/3 - Ross
P3/4 - Destiny
P4/5 - Sarah
P6/7 - Lauren
Year 5/6 have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a range of Easter activities this week. They ranged from Easter egg hunts to creating our Easter egg competition masterpieces.
We had a visit today from Mr Jim McCool who performed his interactive Celtic Yarn-Spinning show.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
P5/6 met again with Bready Jubilee and St Mary's Cloughcor on Tuesday to continue our maths activities with STEM Aware. We worked on tally charts, frequency charts and bar graphs. We particularly enjoyed creating a human bar chart to show eye colours of all the children in our STEM group. Out of 133 children, we found out that 31 had blue eyes and the least common was grey with only 6 children. We used this information to create our own bar charts when we got back to school.
We also used tape measures to measure the size of our feet and our height. We went on to measure our hand span and found out that the hand spans of the teachers in the room were exactly the same as their heights but the hand spans of the children weren't the same as their heights. Do you know why this might be?
This week in French, we have been learning how to introduce different members of our family. Have a look at our video.
Check out our latest half term disco photographs. Another successful P.T.A organised event. Thanks to everyone involved and to parents for your continued support.
