P2LM had Morgan, Bert and Ted came to visit from Mrs McClelland’s house. It was so lovely to meet them and hear all about them. Bert is over 40 years old!
We wrote sentences describing the look and feel of each bear and picked our favourite😊
We brought our favourite teddy bears into school and told our friends all about them. We then completed a piece of writing and drew a picture.
See if you can spot Mrs Heare’s very old teddy in some of the pictures! 🐻😀
Today P7s had some very special visitors from the Confucius Society in the University of Ulster. Today is Chinese New Year, which the the children have been learning about as part of our Robert Hart and China.
We learned about the origins of Chinese New Year; the monster Nian. Some of the children got to dress up in a dragon costume and a panda costume. We learned how to say Hello and Happy New Year in Mandarin. We also listened to some beautiful music on traditional Chinese instruments - have a listen to the videos below. Finally, we were given individual mask packs so that each child could decorate their own mask! Everyone really enjoyed the morning!
We brought in our favourite teddy bears to school. We had so much fun learning about each teddy and telling our friends all about them.
Mrs Heare brought in her very old teddy called Donald who is 42 years old. See if you can spot him in the pictures!!!
These marvellous mathematicians have done it again for another month with earning great awards when completing Mathletics points.
We have bronze and silver awards every month and these P3 children keep impressing me with their incredible results!!
Congratulations everyone 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️
P4S recently travelled to the Palace Stables in Armagh for an educational trip to extend their knowledge of WW2, our present World Around Us topic. Some of the boys and girls dressed up as evacuees and they really did look like children from the 1940s. Firstly we made identity cards (to ensure there were no spies in our party 😉)and evacuee labels. Then we learnt more about food rationing. After that, we visited Mr Heaney in his war time kitchen. When the siren went off, he and Air Raid Warden, Cole, led us to the Anderson shelter. Finally we met Sergeant Willis, an American GI, who taught us how to drill and send coded messages. The children thoroughly enjoyed this experience of war time life.
Today we enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Palace Stables in Armagh. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about World War Two. We even made our own identification cards and went down into an Air Raid shelter! Well done to everyone who dressed up today as an evacuee. You all looked the part!
P2LM brought their teddies to school today, we could all describe our teddies and had a teddy bears picnic! 🧸
