We had a visit today from Mr Jim McCool who performed his interactive Celtic Yarn-Spinning show.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
This week we were playing instruments keeping a steady beat, playing fast, slow, loud and soft. We had to follow instructions too, we tried head, shoulders, knees and toes- some children found it hard to do the actions to this song when the music played faster. We had great fun today!
Year6/7 made beautiful pop-up flower cards and photograph frames to give to their mums on Mother's day.
Last week our school participated in the Feet First Families Week. Each day a specific class were given the option if they wanted to walk/cycle to school from the local Presbyterian Church. On Friday it was the Nursery boy's and girl's turn and we had a fantastic turn out. During our Nursery day, we were able to go out to the playground and show off our skills on our bikes and scooters. Well done to everyone who participated last week.
We had lots of fun singing and dancing with Jo Jingles today. we had to listen carefully to the songs as they gave us instructions to follow.
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 school we are participating in an event called Feet First Families. The children have been asked to walk to school each morning from the Presbyterian Church hall. Each class have been assigned a day to bring in their bikes or scooters and we encourage all children to participate in some way if possible.
On Monday, the staff were delighted with the effort made by parents and families as we had over 50 children walk up to school. This was a fantastic turn out and let's hope we keep this up for the rest of the week. There might be a prize for the class with the most number of children who walked and also individual prizes for the children who managed to walk to school every day.
Here are a few photos of everyone setting off on our first morning.
