P3/4 have been learning French with Mrs Gregson. They have been practising their greetings and asking one another how they are feeling. Have a look at our video.
Today in p5/6 we continued our work on volcanoes as part of our explorers topic. We created paintings of erupting volcanoes. Have a look!
The boys and girls in Nursery were treated to a visit from a local PSNI Road Safety Officer. Stuart talked to the children about how to stay safe when crossing the road, staying safe in the car and staying safe when cycling their bike. He showed us all the different things he has to wear on his belt and we had a look at his uniform. We were very lucky to get to sit in the Police car and see the flashing lights along with the noisy sirens. Thank you to Stuart for taking the time to talk to the children. His message to the children was: ‘The PSNI are always here to keep you safe.’
Today we had a visit from our local vet, Lindsay from Parkview in Strabane. She brought a very well-behaved puppy with her too! We learned so much today about farm animals, pets and exotic animals too! Lindsay told us about the tools she uses to check the animals, they looked similar to those found in our doctors. The children asked fantastic questions at the end. Jonny wanted to know what the biggest animal Lindsay had helped was- to our surprise, she told us about how she had helped insert a micro-chip into an elephant which was with a circus in Strabane!
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!
We were treated to a nursery rhyme today in assembly by our little nursery experts! A lovely way to end the week.
Well done to all the children who attended typing club. Everyone worked very hard and received their certificates today in assembly. Thank You to Mrs Kane for all her hard work also.
Well done to our typing club children who received their certificates today.
Today was the last session that we had with Melissa from Jo Jingles. We have had lots of good fun over the past 6 weeks learning lots of new songs and using lots of different instruments. Thank you Melissa and Jo!
