P5D celebrated World Maths Day today as they were away on a trip last Friday. They had a very busy day starting with Mathletics and Times Tables Rock Stars. Then it was into the school hall to complete lots of physical Numeracy activities. The day was finished by working in pairs to work through Numeracy challenges.
A super busy and exciting morning in P5D today as we had Orlagh in class working with the children on the ‘Our City’ project. Orlagh discussed with the children the differences between a village, town and city. They got to see how a city operates, jobs that are needed and businesses that are open.
P5D enjoyed a wonderful art workshop at the Armagh Museum that was run by Orlaith Cullinane. The children got to view the AE Russell exhibition and used it as inspiration to learn techniques to create their own 3D pop up artworks on the theme of ‘From the Sea’ using chalk pastels, paper folding and lots of imagination.
P5D enjoyed toasting, decorating and eating pancakes today. In Literacy they looked at instructions and wrote out how to make pancakes. During Numeracy it was time to calculate how much the toppings would cost for each pancake they wanted to make. Finally, in WAU they researched how countries around the world celebrate Pancake Day.
We were delighted to have Laurence from Hope Community Church again today, to lead our assembly. He spoke about: Contentment, Respect, Gratitude and Kindness.
Some of the P7 Digital leaders also spoke to us as part of our Safer Internet Day work that has been happening all week.
They talked about online scams, how to spot them and what to do.
This half term P5D have been learning about lighthouses and during technology they have used their knowledge of circuits to design and make lighthouses.
