P5DK took part in their Shared Education project during November. The project initially looked at the similarities and differences that exist between themselves and the P5 children from Presentation PS. They then completed a series of lessons looking at different places of worship which included; St. Columba's COI, St Patrick's RC and a Jewish Synagogue. Here are some photographs to show you what they did during the 6 lessons.
P5DK have been learning how to complete a Numeracy activity on the SEESAW App. They were learning how to tell the time and instead of doing a written activity in their school book, Mrs Davison asked them to complete a task using the I pads. Here are a few photographs to show the children completing the task.
This week P5DK have been thinking about the different ways they and others can stay safe on the roads.
Here are some photos to show the fantastic Healthy Kidz programme that we have running this year in school. P5DK have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the lessons so far this year. Steve is a great instructor whom the children all look up to and learn so much from him each week.
On Tuesday 16th October P5DK travelled to the Ulster Museum in Belfast to take part in an Egyptian workshop and visit Dippy the Dinosaur. The children had a fantastic time getting to see a variety of different Egyptian artefacts and see the Egyptian Mummy 'Takabuti'. It was also very exciting to see the visitor the museum had on show - 'Dippy' the dinosaur. Here are some photographs to show what a great day they had.
