Year 6/7 tried out some experiments with different salts to grow some crystals. The different salts used were Epsom Salts, alum, and table salt mixed with boiling water and food colouring. Each group then wrapped a pipe cleaner up and attached some string so that the pipe cleaner could dangle in the mixture. They left the experiment overnight and produced some amazing crystals. The boys and girls have also completed their instructional writing on how to make crystals. A great bunch of scientists in Year 6/7.
As the most popular time to read seems to be bedtime, the pupils and staff at Artigarvan P.S decided to come to school in their pyjamas for World Book Day 2020. The teachers each chose a book that they would read in their classroom and the children could pick which story they would like to hear. This was a huge success and children loved hearing stories like 'The Gruffalo' and 'Stick Man'.
Year 7 were delighted when Mrs Patterson arrived with her special delivery of hoodies for Year 7. They all look so well and we wish them well for their last few months in Primary School.
We had a lovely treat on Friday when George Murphy visited our school to sing some songs and rhymes with the children from Nursery up to Year 7. We joined in singing songs like “She’ll be coming round the mountain” and “Tell me ma”. It was a fun morning for our Feel Good Fridays in school. We hope George will come back to visit again.
All those pupils who were Stars of the week before half term had great fun at the Principal’s party this week !
Well done everyone - Mrs Harper is very proud of you all!
P7s went to the hall in Artigarvan to enjoy badminton coaching with Naomi - it was great fun and we look forward to our badminton tournament in a few weeks.

Baby Joanna and her Mummy visited today for our theme of communication. We talked about how babies communicate and looked at Baby Joanna's body movement and gestures. We learnt that nursery rhymes are very helpful to language development and we presented Baby Joanna with a beautiful nursery rhyme book made by all the boys and girls in Year 3/4.
On Saturday 29th February it was the final of the ‘Couch to 5K’ very kindly organised by Joeanne Kerr. Twelve ladies were out in some of the worst weather conditions over the past six weeks and everyone at Artigarvan P.S would like to say a huge WELL DONE and THANK YOU for your dedication and for supporting our school and nursery. On Saturday families and friends were invited to join in for a family walk after our twelve superstars had taken off on their run. The weather forecast for the weekend wasn’t pleasant and we thank those who came out to join the walk and thankfully the rain stayed away for the duration of this event. Everyone could enjoy refreshments after in Fox Lodge and we would like to thank Nicola and Laura for helping with this as well as all the parents who provided scones, pancakes and treats to eat. It was a brilliant morning and together an amazing £787.50 was raised for Artigarvan Primary School and Community Nursery. A huge thank you to Joeanne and her helpers for organising this event and thank you everyone once again for your support.
Today, P5/6 were learning about instructional writing. They helped Miss Moore make some tasty treats to celebrate Pancake Tuesday and then wrote their own recipe to try at home! Who knew literacy could be so tasty?
