Last week we read the story 'Oliver's fruit salad'. Our tummies were rumbling at the thought of eating the delicious, sweet fruit so we decided to make our own. First we created lists using commas, selecting the fruits we would like to put into the fruit salad. On Monday we made our fruit salad and enjoyed them together. We tried new fruits and looked forward to our favourite fruit- strawberries and bananas! We will post some photos soon of our delicious salads and our fantastic writing too.
The Y5-7 Shared Education Project got off to a flying start with Years 5-7 learning about fractions and decimals using lego. They also enjoyed building the tallest towers they could.
This week we had our first outdoor play session along with Mrs Kane's P1/2 children. We try to do this on a weekly basis as it helps to improve the transition for the nursery children whenever it comes to September. They really enjoyed playing alongside the older children and some even managed to find a familiar face. We will aim to do outdoor alongside Mrs Pollock's P2/3 class well on the alternate week.
Year 5/6 have had an incredibly busy week this week! We started off with some drumming practice with Ronan to perfect our performance piece for the show on Thursday. On Tuesday morning we had our STEM event at the Sollus centre, which you can read about in 'other news'. Then on Tuesday afternoon we had our first practice on stage at the Alley Theatre. Wednesday and Thursday were full days spent practising our dance on stage for the dress rehearsal on Thursday afternoon. We even managed to get a little maths revision fitted in in between dances on stage!! We got a real buzz being on stage with an audience of around 130 people. We have worked so hard for the show and now we can't wait for the big performance at 7pm tonight! The show is sold out! Hope to see you there! Here are some pictures from the last few days.
On Tuesday 20th February we had our latest Stem Aware maths event with Bready Jubilee PS and St Mary's Cloughcor. Our multiplication skills were challenged through games of 'Back 2 Back', 'Multiplication War' and 'Multiplication Bingo'. We thoroughly enjoyed having the chance to get to know more about our team mates from the other schools.
On Tuesday 6th of February we started the maths challenges with STEM Aware. We were put into our groups which we will stay in for the remainder of the programme. This will give us the opportunity to develop close friendships with the other children in our groups. We started off with some lego multiplication then we were set a challenge to build the longest bridge using lego. Whichever bridge was able to hold the most weight was deemed the winning bridge. We had great fun with this and there were some very interesting techniques used.
On Tuesday 20th February, year 5/6 took part in their latest STEM event with Bready Jubilee PS and St Mary's Cloughcor. Our multiplication skills were challenged through games of 'Back 2 Back', 'Multiplication War' and 'Multiplication Bingo'. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the children in the other schools and we are starting to develop some close friendships.
In Nursery we couldn't resist having lots of fun in the snow. We wrapped up cosy warm with our coats, hats, scarves and gloves along with our wellies and headed out for some fun. We really enjoyed trying to throw snowballs at the adults and we made a great attempt at making a snowman.
On Thursday 8th January both pupils from the Nursery and Primary School were given permission to break some schools rules. The nursery children had the option of breaking one, two or all 3 of the following rules:
- Wear no school uniform
- Have crazy hair
- Come into Nursery late
The children had lots of fun taking part and even the staff in Nursery managed to break all 3 rules. Well done everyone!!
Year 2/3 watched the story of Smartie the Penquin. We discussed all the problems he had using his new Ipad.
We all decided that we had to ask for help rather than press buttons and get into a bigger computer mess.
It is Smart to 'Ask'
