Congratulations to the children who received certificates for their great work during todays Celebration Assembly. Super effort!
Today the children rotated around various activity areas to help reinforce sounds we have learned. They had great fun recognising and making cvc words using playdough, writing lists of cvc words, matching pictures to cvc words, choosing letters to match to initial sound of picture and playing cvc games on the ipads. Well done everyone!
The second day of our Shared Residential has been brilliant. The children have been treated to a day of fun and fellowship with Presentation Primary. The day started off in the Croi, a space set aside for reflection where the children started their day looking ahead. Children, then got to finish painting their masks, made yesterday. The weather has been fantastic and with free time given throughout the day and between activities, pupils have been integrating, playing football and playing games. It’s been great to see the children together. This afternoon, pupils had the chance to talk to the Corrymeela volunteers, situated all over the world where they asked questions and learned why they would come to Northern Ireland to serve and learn. Tonight, the children are having their disco! A really great second day!
Seventeen children from P7MM have enjoyed a two night residential to Corrymeela on the North Coast. When we arrived on Monday we were given a warm welcome by the Corrymeela volunteers and our leader, Andy. That afternoon, we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine down at the beach where we had to get creative and build boats using pebbles, stones and seaweed. We also had a treasure hunt at the beach. On the walk back up to the beach, some of us were lucky enough to spot two seals in the water! That evening, we played some team building games and got messy making masks, ready to decorate on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, we painted our masks and learned more about our own and others’ culture and identity. We also got the opportunity to learn more about all the volunteers who come from all over the world. After dinner on Tuesday evening, everyone danced the night away at the disco and enjoyed some time playing pool and table tennis in the games room. All of the children were so respectful during our evening worship on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the children stripped and made their own beds ready for the next group. We reflected on our time at Corrymeela and had some time to take in the beautiful views before getting on the bus, ready for home!
P7 pupils have arrived safely with our Presentation counterparts to Corrymeela. The weather has been brilliant all day as we have got settled into our new surroundings. The children have been taking part in ice breaker activities and had a lovely dander down to the beach. The children have been well fed, and have been having lots of fun playing. It really is lovely to see everyone getting on so well. A great start made!
The children had lots of fun engaging in the exciting activities this month.
The children enjoyed using chalk pastels while drawing a Spring plant. They looked closely at the flower and leaves and included lots of detail in their fabulous work.
Today both P6M and P6H took part in an orienteering competition held at Armagh Palace Stables.
Olivia performed a Ballet solo on 23rd April 2019 in Newtownards and out of a group of 20 girls she placed 2nd. Very well done Olivia we are very proud of you.
