On Tuesday 23rd April P5D had Tracy and Ruth from Danske Bank in Portadown to talk with them. The boys and girls all learnt about what it means to have a budget, the difference between needs and wants and how we can use the bank. Thank you very much to the ladies coming into school and working with the boys and girls, they all throughly enjoyed the morning. 

We were very privileged to have Stuart Reid in school to speak at the KS2 assembly. Stuart motivated everyone with his enthusiasm for reading books and writing creatively. The children had so much fun, whilst also gaining superb knowledge from our visitor.

Our principal, Mr Frizzell led our assembly today. He brought a cake along but got a surprise when he cut into it! We realised that what is inside is very important.  

He spoke about the word ‘integrity’ and the importance of having a strong sense of honesty.

We sang a lovely new song, Store up good in your heart. 

P5D visited W5 on Thursday 11th April and had a fantastic time. They got to take part in a “Fizz Bang Pop” workshop, explore all the exhibitions and challenge themselves on “Climbit”. Here are some photos to show what a wonderful day everyone had. 

During term 2 P5D have been learning about what Jesus did during Lent and Easter. All pupils used what they learnt to create a poster about Easter. The posters were judged and here are the winners. It was also lovely to make some Easter buns and decorate Easter eggs before finishing this term.

After Easter, Drama club will continue as normal; however, only pupils who have attended Drama Club up until now can attend as parts have been given for performances.

The WAU topic for P5 this half term was Our World. During the last WAU lesson the boys and girls got the opportunity to play games and put together jigsaws all linked to the topic Our World. 

The WAU topic in P5 this half term is Our World. P5D have looked at the continents, countries and seas around the world. Over the last two weeks they have been learning about famous buildings that are around the world. They used charcoal to draw them. Can you identify any of the pictures the boys and girls have drawn? 

On Thursday 7th March P5D had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day. Have a look at the photos of the plates they decorated. It was such a difficult decision to pick the best dressed and also who had decorated the winning plate. Congratulations to the girls who were picked by Mrs Giffin and Mrs Eakin. 

P5D enjoyed completing a workshop online using iPads. They had to try and recreate their AR book front cover using the Adobe Express app. Here are a few examples to show what they achieved. 

On Wednesday 28th February P5D had two very special visitors in class. Mrs White brought her dog, Bobby into visit P5D. Bobby had a lovely afternoon walking around the room and getting lots of attention from everyone. P5D learnt about how to look after a dog, what we need to do to keep a dog happy and how to stay safe around dogs.
