We had a visit from two officers of the PSNI last week who told us all about Stranger Danger and Firework Safety. They also mentioned how electric scooters are illegal for those under 16!!!
P4S recently took part in an online lesson to improve their coding skills. The theme was ‘Space’ and we learnt how to make our astronaut and rocket move about on the space backgrounds. We then used our skills to animate a story with speech bubbles. We had great fun and learnt lots.
Today we took our learning outside. The children thoroughly enjoyed measuring natural objects in the outdoors. We measured twigs, stones, flowers and much more. Last week we also had fun using our number bonds to play a dice game. We used calculators too. We have come to the conclusion that ......... MATHS IS FUN!
Well done to Mia-Louise who won this month’s raffle. She chose a craft box, a great choice.
Today we travelled to the CAFRE Campus at Greenmount to learn more about Nature. We had great fun pond dipping (Taylon came very well prepared with his own net 😃). The children were so excited to find tadpoles with back legs, sticklebacks, blood worms, damsel fly larva and lots of other tiny water creatures. We then went on a mini beast safari in the wildlife garden, finding creatures such as spiders, slugs, wood lice and a rather beautiful snail. The children also made their way through the Beech Maze and found the sundial in the middle, complete with Roman numerals. We all had a brilliant time on our trip. A special word of thanks to the parents who accompanied us.
Both P4 classes had a wonderful sports day. All children tried their best! It was lovely to welcome parents back to our sports day after 3 years. Thank you for coming to support everyone!
Congratulations to all who made a great effort make healthy lifestyle choices and walk all or part of the way to school. A big well done to Christopher and Emily who won our class prizes.
Congratulations to Emily and Bobby, winners of the crown competition.
We all had a fabulous day celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
