We had a fantastic day visiting the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh as part of our topic of the Famine. It brought history to life!
We were able to see what life was like in famine times and heard the story of emigration to America in the 19th century on the ‘coffin ships’. It was amazing to go around the different buildings and see how they were in those times. The weather was kind to us too😊
The children took part in a variety of Internet Safety activities to encourage them to be responsible online but also to know how to deal with cyberbullying. The class Digital Leaders led a lesson with related activities.
A fantastic spread of creations on show in P7MM for the school’s World Book Day competition!
The literacy team chose a winner from each class.
Congratulations to Elissa-Rose who won with her Hungry Caterpillar📖🍏
Well done to the boys and girls who dressed up for World Book Day. The children did an amazing job at creating book characters out of either a potato or empty toilet roll holder. P6 spent some time today in the computer zone researching interesting facts about their favourite author. They then created a poster to share with their classmates.
We had some fantastic book character costumes worn today in Primary 1 to celebrate World Book Day! Each child was invited to bring their favourite story book to school today and we enjoyed a lovely reading time on the carpet before drawing our favourite character. We also designed a book mark to bring home. Lots of boys and girls entered the school’s Book Character competition, decorating a potato/toilet roll tube to look like a book character. Well done to everyone who entered and a special congratulations to Vilte, our prize winner!
Well done to all children and families for making such an effort for World Book Day 2023. Congratulations to our Prizewinner and those who were highly commended.
The world belongs to those who read! 🌎📚
Today, James from the AMMA centre came to teach us how to add sound to Book Creator. We based our books on the Blitz. The children recorded their titles and poems with sound effects. They had great fun doing this and it was great for them to be able to add their own art and literacy work in a digital format.
We welcomed some well known book characters into our room today. See if you can guess who visited! Also, the children were very creative in their ‘decorate a spud’ and ‘decorate a toilet roll’ competition. The winner was Paulina, who made a fab Max, from the Hodgeheg.
