The whole school wore Christmas jumpers today with donations going to the Save the Children charity. A big thankyou to all those who donated.

Tuesday 1st December was a day of celebration in our class. We had November certificate winners, November Good to be Green raffle winners and Mathletics winners. Well done to you all!!
The whole class have been working extremely hard since half term on increasing the amount of time they spend reading. Everyone was given a points target during the first week of term that was to be achieve by December 18th, when we get our Christmas holidays. Each book the children read is worth a certain number of points, so the more they read, the more points they’ll earn!! Once they reach their target, children get to choose a special prize.
So far, we have had two children who have met their target within just three weeks!! Well done, girls, and enjoy that homework pass!
During Term 1A, P7MM learned about Rainforests. The children really enjoyed finding out about these amazing places. Here are some photos of the creative work we did during the topic.
Since the children returned to school at the end of August, they have been enjoying three Healthy Kidz sessions a week with Coach Steve and Coach Jamie. Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed improving their fitness levels through fun, engaging activities.
P7MM took part in a very informative workshop led by Eleanor from REIM Training Solutions on Internet Safety. The theme of the workshop this year was our Digital Footprint and how we can ensure that we make this as positive as possible.
We celebrated World Book Day on Thursday 5th March. All classes had to decorate the classroom door for the event. We chose ‘Where’s Wally?’ and it looks fantastic!
We completed activities throughout the day linked to one of our favourite authors - David Walliams.
A great day!!
On Tuesday 3rd March, we visited the Ulster American Folk Park as part of our famine topic. During the trip we heard about the stories of the characters in Under the Hawthorne Tree, our class novel, and how they coped with the famine. We saw what it would a typical house and school house would have been like in 1845. We also walked through a typical Irish village with shop fronts. We then took a journey to the New World, America, on a ship and experienced what life would have been like there. All in all, a great day!
