On Tuesday 16th January P5D had a visit from the education team at NI Water. They came to talk to the boys and girls about the need to conserve the water we have and try to look after the environment by not wasting water and only putting three things down the toilet. They were given a booklet about the water cycle, a sand timer to try and encourage them to have a 4 minute shower and also a tag they could put on the water stop tap at home.
You will be aware from the weather forecast that we are expecting a cold spell for the next few days. This will include ice and possibly snow.
Please take care when travelling to and from school this week; particularly when walking on footpaths.
Pupils should have a coat and if possible, gloves and hats with them this week.
Technology investigation this half term is to build a working lighthouse. P5D have started the process of using a variety of materials to make a lighthouse that has a working lightbulb and switch. The photos show the progress so far. More photos to follow when they have used wires, batteries, bulbs and switches to make a circuit that lights up the bulb for the top of the lighthouse.
