This month, Irwin’s treated us to a selection of delicious breads. We enjoyed discussing and exploring the different textures and smells. They were all so tasty! Then, we became bread experts, writing non chronological reports about bread from around the world! iPads and highlighters were used to assist with our research. In music, we got creative with Chrome Music Maker, making songs to go with our very catchy bread song! In art, we explored with watercolours learning new techniques. In numeracy, we were busy problem solving and loved using mirrors to assist us with symmetry. As usual, we had loads of fun celebrating Mathletics, birthdays and Walk to School Week. Check out our photos to see all the fun we had.
Congratulations to all our Teacher Certificate, Mathletics Certificates and Walk to School Week winners. A special word of congratulations to Oscar and Ollie who are now on Epic level in Mathletics and well on their way to becoming legends.
Our final morning was spent on the climbing wall, archery and playing frisbee golf.
We have had a fantastic time and the Tanagh staff and leaders have been fantastic!
We are hoping everyone is ready for an early night tonight😴😴. We certainly are! 😅
Day 2 in Tanagh, another day full of fun even though the sun didn't always show up. We went orienteering and had a battle with bow and arrow. We ate some lovely goujons for lunch. After, we took to the water again to go canoeing. Cold water did not bother our P7L! After dinner we went outside to explore the local forests and see what plants and bugs we could find. We finished the night with some karaoke. Another great day with some (very) tired pupils.
We have had such a great first day at Tanagh. We completed the low ropes course and team activities in the forest, and then spent the afternoon kayaking and swimming in the River Dromore. We finished the afternoon activities with the mud slide before showering and getting ready for a delciious dinner. Later on, we will go for a walk through the forest.
With some nicer weather this month, we spent a lot more time outside. The children were very keen minibeast detectives- naming them, looking for them in our garden, under flower pots etc. There were lots of opportunities for mathematical development- talking about their colours, counting their spots, looking for patterns- eg a stripy bee, a spotty ladybird, ladybirds being symmetrical. We also carried this into our indoor play- using paint, junk materials and dough to make minibeasts.
