The children enjoyed themselves trying Yoga for the first time, based on a Minecraft theme. As well as having fun, this gave the children the opportunity to improve their flexibility, their posture and core strength. Listening carefully to instructions was also a key factor.
Eleanor from REIMS Training spoke to the children about how to stay safe when Online. This was an excellent experience for P5P and it is hoped that the children will have learned a great deal about Online Safety.

P7T have been focusing in their literacy learning about William Shakespeare, and one of his most famous plays Macbeth. Pupils have been fascinated with the language and different themes Shakespeare utilises in this tragedy. Good vs evil, power vs desire, and the urge to resist temptation. They have loved investigating the different characters and the plot of the story, and have been really enthusiastic about what they think is going happen. Shakespeare uses language to the most expert effect, and brings the audience with him, grabbing their attention and sustaining their interest. The kids have loved the story so far, and I have thoroughly enjoyed bringing the story to life for them. Some great learning!
Both P6 classes had a fantastic time recently at their Viking trip in the Navan Centre and Fort, Armagh. There they participated in workshops to find out more about their World Around Us topic and even met two very vicious Vikings.
As part of the WAU topic Space, P5DK enjoyed using a saw, wood, glue gun and other materials to make a space mobile in groups of 3. The children had to plan what it would look like, make a list of materials they would need and tools. Here are some photographs to show the children making them and the finished products.
