We enjoyed the Safer Internet Day Activity set up by the ICT team and Digital Leaders this week. We had to go around the school, scanning QR codes that were situated around the school, read typical messages that may appear whilst we are on the internet and decide if it is a scam or not.

This month we focused on 'People Who Help Us'. We were delighted to welcome lots of exciting visitors to Nursery to tell us about their job. We had the police, a nurse, firefighters and the optician in. We have been making beautiful art work for Valentine's day. Outdoors, we have been busy exploring the garden- digging in the sand, mark making in the teepee and creating some tasty food and making potions in our mud station.

We had a visit from the 'Confucius Theatre'. They come to Northern Ireland, every year, to celebrate Sir Robert Hart and his service to China. They put on a great show and we created a 'blow' painting.

In class, we created Dancing Dragons. These are smaller versions of what you would see during the parades in China when celebrating the New Year.

In Literacy we have been completing comprehension questions on bears, sorting words into alphabetical order and making sure our letters are formed correctly.   We are working hard in Numeracy lessons looking at ways to make 8 and 9 using cubes.  We have really enjoyed learning all about Henri Matisse in Art and made a collage picture in his style with brightly coloured shapes. We also made pop up cards during structured play to say thankyou to Mr Frizzell for coming to our class. During our internet safety lessons we were able look out for scams!

This morning we enjoyed a visit by Orla from Young Enterprise. During our session, we discussed what makes up our community, other facilities we might like to have in our community and the important people and jobs that add to our community. We also learned how important our taxes are in paying for the services we take for granted such as medical care, education, rubbish collections, leisure centres, etc. We finished off the session by working in groups to design our own communities and what we’d like in them. The children thoroughly enjoyed their morning.

The boys and girls looked at ways to boost their self esteem and were encouraged to look for the positives in all situations. The children also discussed how to understand their emotions and to express their feelings to others in a healthy and positive way.
