Ballymagorry Centra were so kind to donate pancakes to the school last week. Year 5/6 had so much fun choosing their toppings for their pancakes and getting stuck in. Y6’s were super lucky and had two pancakes. During shared education we made healthy pancakes with fruit.
Children in Year 4/5 receiving certificates for becoming anti-bulling ambassadors. They received training from the Diana Award along with Mrs McClelland and Mrs Harper.
We look forward to them sharing their ideas with us in school and going their very best to keep our school happy and full of positive behaviours.
With the last spell of wintery weather, we decided in nursery it was time to make some vegetable soup. The children helped to chop up the vegetables using scissors and knives. They learned lots of new vocabulary about the different vegetables that they were chopping. The children really enjoyed taking part in this and the next day we all had some for our snack. Every child tasted it and some children liked it more than others.
Mr Wright is our music tutor who comes every Friday.
The children receive tuition using a variety of musical instruments.
Have a look at this sample of their work.
Colleen our very own school crossing patrol lady received a highly commended certificate recently for her on going commitment to road safety. Mrs Harper nominated Colleen for the excellent job she does here in school.
Davy Jackson from Road Safe NI came to the school to present her with the award.
Well done Colleen!
On Tuesday we talked about the importance of making sure an adult watches and monitors the apps that we use on our ipad/ tablets. We enjoyed playing on our class ipad and linked it up to our interactive whiteboard for everyone to take part.
Last week Jack Frost spent a few days with us in Artigarvan. It was only fair that we were able to go outside and have some fun, both the little people and the big people enjoyed it!!
Today we celebrated Safer Internet Day and had lots of fun using our class iPads. We thought about how much time we spend online and decided that maybe it's a bit too long. In class, we played lots of games which we could play at home as an alternative to going online. Using a timer we were able to time how long we spent on the iPads and then move onto a different activity. The children thoroughly enjoyed doing Yoga in class, the link is attached for you to access this at home.
The theme this year was all about 'consent' and having a choice about what is shared online. Believe or not, some Year 1 children knew about posting videos onto Snapchat!! Our children have gone home with a very important message- WE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SHARE! Please consider this before posting online. Take a look at what fun we got up to today!
