The eggs in our incubator are going to turn into chicks and daily we are looking at how they are developing using our ‘pretend’ life cycle set... but... what is inside the eggs you can eat?
We had a busy morning learning about the shell, the yolk and the white of an egg. We discussed what we could cook or make with eggs and finished of by making scrambled eggs and toast for snack. There were lots of helpers to crack the eggs, whisk the eggs, add a little milk before we finally got to eat them.
The experience was summed up perfectly by one child who commented “This is the best snack EVER”!
P3 had such an exciting time making their own recycled bird feeders to help look, after our garden birds at school!
Just take a look at how we listened, communicated in teams, followed instructions and worked together to make decisions and measure, cut and create!
We are a skilful bunch
Some budding authors in our class. We have been making our own books about ‘School in the Past’ using an app called Book Creator on the iPads.
Paula from Young Enterprise is joking us for 4 consequetive Thursday mornings to deliver a programme about our community. We are working in groups and having great fun.
We were very excited to be heading of this morning to W5. Our morning began by exploring and engaging in play at the various areas of the discovery room. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch in the H2O rooms before making our way to the Climb It zone. What an excellent day!
We enjoyed wearing or bringing something which was
yellow and/or green to school.
The children enjoy problem solving using the Izak 9 cubes. A fantastic Numeracy resource.
A group of six P7 pupils from both classes travelled to The Royal School, Armagh on Wednesday 20th March to compete in a STEM challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). Their challenge was to create a vehicle that would be expected to transport a load (a creme egg!!) safely down a ramp and a certain distance across the floor. The children were given a selection of materials to build their vehicle and had to design three potential vehicles before deciding on their final design. Although we didn’t win the challenge, both teams were successful in designing and building a vehicle that met the criteria of the challenge, and most importantly, they had lots of fun using their problem solving skills during the challenge. Well done P7s!
We really enjoy feeding our feathered friends. They really enjoy the fat balls and mixed bird seed we put out for them. there are lots of different birds who call our school grounds home, including robins, blackbirds and lots of sparrows.
