A very mucky, funny, wet and adventurous day was had by year 4/5 and 6/7 in Extreme Adventure!! A day to remember for all of us !! :)
The children and staff had a fantastic day at Leisure Land, in Redcastle, for the Primary 1, 2 and 3/4 end of year school trip.
Today P2/3 had 2 ladies from Derry City & Strabane District Council doing a 'Bridges' workshop with them in class.
First they showed us lots of lovely pictures from the area in the council and we identified and discussed them.
There were lovely pictures of bridges - 7 large ones in this area in total - and the children shared their knowledge and experiences of the bridges.
Then as a team we worked together to build a bridge from cardboard and everyone's pole structure was taped together before a road way was put across the top.
And guess what!!?? We were all able to walk across the bridge - even Mrs Harper!!!
Struggling to think of a little something to give on Father's Day?? Why not have a look at what the Enterprise have made. Stocks are limited so first come first served! Items are priced at £5 each.
Hand made Father's Day cards are priced at £1 each....that's a bargain!!
Take a look at some pictures from our Sport's Day. What a great day of sporting achievement and most of all, fun was had by all.

Happy meal will be served in canteen at 12 noon. Children free to go home after dinner. Fun Day begins at 2pm until 5pm. Have a great Day everyone!!
As you know the Primary 1 children have been learning about food this term. To help this theme come to life and seem more purposeful the Primary 1 and 2/3 children were taken on a trip to Asda. Greeted by our lovely guide Matthew we were taken on a tour of the supermarket and given access to some special areas including the bakery and the checkout desk. The children had a wonderful time and have documented their trip through photos they took on the school ipads.
The Year 1 pupils have been learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly and have created a butterfly garden habitat.
Continuing on with our food theme, the children have been exploring the work of Guiseppe Arcimboldo. Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books. The children have used a variety of two and three dimensional materials to create their own Giuseppe portraits. You can see for yourself the results are amazing!
This term the Primary 1 children have been learning about food. Most recently we have been exploring fruit and vegetables from other countries. In class the children had the opportunity to investigate these unusual foods. We used our senses to examine their smell, look, taste and touch.
