Julie came into visit P5DK to talk all about dogs. The children took part in the workshop and learnt how to look after dogs and stay safe around dogs. Here are some photos of them enjoying the workshop.
The children in P5DK are enjoying learning all about life in Ancient Egypt. Have a look at some of the activities they have been enjoying.
P5DK spent the day celebrating European Day of Languages. The morning started with Mrs Somerville teaching the children some French. Then, they got out the atlases to discover the countries that are on the continent of Europe. They used the atlases to also look at the flags for each country and then coloured in the flags for all the countries in Europe. Next, Mrs Davison taught the children the numbers and colours in Spanish. Finally, the children got to taste foods from lots of the countries in Europe.
During Literacy this week, P5DK have been learning about homophones. They now know that a homophone is a word that sounds the same but is spelt differently and has a different meaning. Working in groups they played a homophones game.
As part of the measuring topic in Numeracy, P5DK had to calculate the perimeter of shapes. Having done this in class and with it being such a beautiful day, the pupils went outside to measure and calculate the perimeter of objects in the playground. They used metre sticks, rulers, measuring tapes and trundle wheels.
This was the first time P5DK got to use IZAK 9. They all had a throughly enjoyable Numeracy lesson trying to solve a variety of different problems. In groups the pupils worked together to listen carefully to Abacus and Helix. They then had to solve the problems using the cubes. Here are some photographs to show what they did.
P5DK had a wonderful afternoon in the beautiful sunshine. They worked with coach Steve to take part in a variety of different games. It was great to see them keeping fit, while having fun at the same time.
P5DK had a lovely afternoon with Laura from National Museums NI. She worked with the children on a new programme called ‘Museum on the Move’. This involved the children listening and watching Laura online and a series of video clips. She spoke to them about the topic ‘Home on the Farm’. The children learnt what life was like on a farm 100 years ago compared to life on a modern farm. Laura also delivered a box of real life objects that would have been used 100 years ago. The children got to hold and touch these items and work out what and how they were used. It was a very enjoyable and informative afternoon.
P5DK had a fantastic day! It started by the children wearing clothes to school that had numbers on them, then they brought in the activity they completed at home this week and got sponsored for doing it. Throughout the day they enjoyed taking part in a variety of different activities that involved numbers. Here are a few photos to show what they were doing.
Great to get down onto the field to practice all the different events that the children will be doing at Sports day next month.
