Congratulations to all the Term 1 winners for Mathletics!!
This term the child in each class from P3-P7 had to work towards the highest points collection...........
Take a look at WHO were the Marvellous Mathletics Stars ⭐️ 🌟⭐️
P7 Teggarty travelled to Armagh on Thursday 9th December to avail of an opportunity to work with local artist, Orlaith Cullinane. Pupils had the chance to look around the local Museum exhibition - all about the creation of Northern Ireland. They were fascinated about the history of the creation of the state, particularly the different symbols and traditions mentioned. The Art workshop's focus was on the coinage used at the time - it took its inspiration from local farm animals. Pupils were tasked to make their own and created some unique specimens. It's safe to say that pupils enjoyed themselves. Have a look at their wonderful creations!
We’ve had great fun this week making a hand tree, dancing Santas, elves and reindeer. The children love our Christmassy display. Lucas suggested a collective noun ........ a sleigh of Santa’s 😀.
Congratulations to all our winners, including Lukas whose Mathletics points won him a special award for the term.
Lots of children wore Christmas jumpers on Friday to raise money for Cancer Fund for Children. Everyone was looking very festive!
Congratulations to our 3 star readers on reaching their Accelerated Reading targets for Term 1. Impressive work and well-deserved prizes received.👏👏👏.
Well done to Sophie on winning a prize from Ms Harrison, our Numeracy co- ordinator, for being the top scorer in Mathletics in P7MM.🎖🎖🎖.
The Healthy Kidz Star of the Week Award went to Aron this week for demonstrating great skill and teamwork during our hockey sessions. 🏑🏑🏑
Our topic this half term has been Happy Humans. We’ve spent this week learning about the heart and how it pumps blood all around our bodies. Today, we tested how four different exercises affected our heart rate. As well as having a really fun morning, we learned why our pulse increases when we exercise - because the heart is pumping blood around the body quicker than when we are resting! The hardest part for some of us was actually finding our pulse in the first place!!
Since we had no Healthy Kidz this week, P7MM got working on their hockey skills. The children learnt the basics of holding the hockey stick, dribbling and ball control. There was some great team work with pupils encouraging and cheering on their team mates, and even after just two sessions this week, we could really see an improvement in some of the skills. Well done all!
