Today we walked to the People’s Park to join with our friends from Presentation PS once again for a fun day. We enjoyed many activities including dance, rugby and basketball. We also went for a walk and Emily found a fairy door. We had a great day.
We welcomed our friends from Presentation again this week for our third, and sadly, last Shared Education lesson this week. Continuing with our theme of WW2, our topic was ‘Evacuation’ and the children learnt about why and how children were evacuated, their thoughts and feeling about this and how their lives changed. They wrote fabulous acrostic poems and finished off by making evacuee figures to take home. The children thoroughly enjoyed this lesson and are looking forward to meeting up with their new friends again, hopefully in the not too distant future.
We welcomed our friends from a Presentation for our second Shared Education lesson. This week we learnt about air raids and the Belfast Blitz. We also constructed our own Anderson Shelters. We worked together really well and had lots of fun.
This morning we welcomed our friends from Presentation PS for our first Shared Education day. Our lessons will be based on our WAU topic WW2. After playing some ‘Getting to know you’ games, we discussed and shared what we already know and what we’d like to learn about WW2. Then we did some research to complete a timeline. We finished off with story time and some singing. We all had a great day.
This morning the members of the choir went to Tesco in Portadown to sing with our friends from Presentation. We sounded great.
Today, P7L welcomed Presentation Primary School with open arms. First we all got to know eachother by playing a (very funny) Bingo game. After that, we got to work on learning about 'algorithms' and 'programs'.
After some well deserved lunch, we followed our own step-by-step guide on how to fold a paper aeroplane. We obviously had to put these paper machines to the test in the hall, seeing which one would float the furthest.
A very succesful and fun, first day. See you again next Wednesday.
Thanks to all of you who donated to this charity before Christmas. On Friday 17th December we all wore our Christmas jumpers or festive outfits.
We raised a phenomenal £735.40 so many thanks. The cheque was handed over this morning to Rebecca who came into school to represent this very worthy charity.
Pupils and staff were treated to a wonderful afternoon spectacle of song, dance and piano playing from the participants of We've Got Talent 2019. A fun afternoon had by all. Many thanks to Asda for supplying drinks and snacks, many thanks to Steve and Paul from Healthy Kidz for judging and many thanks to Paul for supporting acts with their music. Many congratulations to all participants, but most of all, well done to the winning act Aimee and Megan for their winning act of Irish Dancing. The winners take home the big We've Got Talent trophy, with each performer taking home a trophy! Everyone also got a forty pound gift voucher for Sketchers. Brilliant! Inspirational stuff all round!
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.
