We had a very busy week this week in our class but still managed to squeeze in some fun maths activities to celebrate Maths week Ireland. We learnt lots of information out about Mrs McClelland when she gave us a range of different sums to work out which gave us answers about different parts of her life. We then got to do the same. We made ‘Figure me out’ posters for our classmates to work out. Can you spot anyone from their posters?
On Friday we went around our school on a maths trail. We had to answer a range of different questions which involved looking at number plates outside, looking at vent diagrams and asking other members of staff for information. We then got letters which spelt out ARTIGARVAN ROCKS! The boys and girls had great fun!
All the boys and girls had so much fun at the farm today. A massive thank you to Annie and Vinnie for a great, educational and enjoyable day.
Butterlope Farm is mainly a hill sheep farm with a variety of breeds but they also have calves, laying hens and sheep dogs. A kitchen garden and large polytunnel allows a large variety of vegetables to be grown for the family and farm helpers. The boys and girls enjoyed eating some of the grapes!
Check out all our amazing photos!
All the boys and girls are really enjoying our current topic all about farming. Mrs McClelland even finds herself learning interesting information from some of the young farmers in Y5/6!
One of our Y6’s kindly brought in some food that they feed their ewes and rams on her Granda’s farm. Alesha was able to confidently talk to the whole class explaining the different types of food and how often they are fed. She also was able to tell us how different types of food might affect the ewes milk supply.
Another pupil in Y5 brought in some photos of his dads farming machinery and was able to tell us how a seed drill sows barley. Adam loved showing us all the photos, especially his dad and the tractor photos. Proud son!
Well done!
Year 5 were kindly invited to Foyle College on Tuesday morning to take part in a carousel of activities. We made chocolate swizzles in home economics, played rugby and hockey in PE and learnt the parts of our body in Spanish class. We were also treated to a packet of sweets and a biscuit for break.
