P3WA thought about celebrations from around the world and learnt about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We learned about rangoli patterns and the significance of light and lanterns.
In Art, we are learning all about lines. We used lines are used to draw trees, we are becoming fine young artists with new language all about lines!
And, of course, we always follow instructions for PE with coach Steve.
See what we can do!
P5D had lots of visitors to class this week. It started on Monday when Mr Frizzell was asked questions about road safety and parking outside the school. On Tuesday Ciara and Gwen from the PSNI and PCSP talked to the children about road safety, answered questions they had prepared and took the children out to the front of the school to measure the speed vehicles were travelling and looking at how vehicles were parked. On Wednesday the children used the iPads and took part in an Adobe live workshop to create road safety posters. By Thursday it was time to use all the information gathered to write a newspaper report about road safety outside Hart Memorial. Finally, on Friday, the children read a comprehension and answered questions.
We watched a demonstration today which showed us how digestion works in our bodies.
We weren’t sure about the final product 😊
Today we enjoyed a trip to watch the Ulster Orchestra perform a special schools’ concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. This was a fantastic opportunity to hear live music and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. We were introduced to the different sections of the orchestra and listened to music based on the theme of ‘Our Wonderful World’. The children’s favourite piece was ‘The Bare Necessities’ and the percussion section playing on Dustbins and saucepans was also enjoyed by all. We also joined in at the end of the concert to sing the classic song, ‘ What a Wonderful World’. Unfortunately recording and photography was not allowed during the performance but here are a few pictures of our day out.
We have been taking part in lots of activities this week, for Road Safety Week.
We have been learning the importance of being dressed brightly so motorists can see us, especially in these darker evenings.
We took a walk outside to remind ourselves of how to cross the road at the lights, safely.
Don’t we all look amazing in our hi-vis vests?
