On Monday we were able to enjoy a visit to the toy museum in Armagh. This gave us an interesting insight into the difference between old toys and new toys. We were able to play with all of the old toys on offer and even make some of our own.
Today we had Mrs Shields in for a visit to show us all of the old toys she had at home. The children really loved hearing about all of the different toys and comparing them to the ones we have now.
The boys and girls had a wonderful afternoon using bulbs, switches, wires, batteries, bulb holders and battery holders. They had to use the equipment to build circuits and test to see if the circuits were complete or incomplete. Lots of fun was had trying to get the lightbulbs to light up.
Our new topic this term is Bears and we were able to write down some facts we already knew on our KWL grid. We then discussed what new information we would like to know bears. The first two bears we looked at closely were the Panda and the Polar bear. We wrote about the Panda bear and displayed our work in the corridor for everyone to see.
We can’t wait to learn more facts about the other six species of bears. Have a look at our work so far, we are so proud of it!
The children recently explored tessellation during Numeracy. They used the template of a lizard to create a wonderful tessellating pattern. Well done P6!
Following our reconstitution, our new Chairperson is Mrs Heather Mallagh-Cassells and our Vice-Chairperson is Rev Darrin Thompson.
Our governor for Safeguarding and Child Protection is Mrs Clare Proctor.
