We have had such a great first day at Tanagh. We completed the low ropes course and team activities in the forest, and then spent the afternoon kayaking and swimming in the River Dromore. We finished the afternoon activities with the mud slide before showering and getting ready for a delciious dinner. Later on, we will go for a walk through the forest.
With some nicer weather this month, we spent a lot more time outside. The children were very keen minibeast detectives- naming them, looking for them in our garden, under flower pots etc. There were lots of opportunities for mathematical development- talking about their colours, counting their spots, looking for patterns- eg a stripy bee, a spotty ladybird, ladybirds being symmetrical. We also carried this into our indoor play- using paint, junk materials and dough to make minibeasts.
The following policies have been added to the school website for consultation:
- Art and Design
- Numeracy
Consultation is an important aspect of policy implementation whereby stakeholders have the opportunity to contribute to procedures and provision within an particular area of school life.
Please take some time to read the policies and provide feedback using the form on the same web page. The feedback will go directly to Mr Frizzell only. All feedback is helpful, even if it is just to say 'I agree.'
To access these policies, go to 'About Us' tab on the school website and then 'Policy Consultation.'
The above policies will be up for 2 weeks from Wednesday 29th May 2024.
Thank you.
Please arrange holidays for times of school closure as holidays during term time cannot be authorised.
Thank you.
P3 are still investigating the topic of BREAD. They have enjoyed mixing ingredients together, blending and moulding dough and then adding to the frying pan. Tasting was one of the best parts.....
No bake bread was a REAL FAVOURITE!
During ABL they used drama skills in the role play bakery, numeracy problem solving skills at the games table and baking games on the iPads.
To end this week the children enjoyed tasting a crisp sandwich with the Portadown famous Irwin’s Bakery NUTTY KRUST loaf.
Pleas enjoy browsing our photos full of fun.
This term our topic has been ‘Sun, Sea and Sand’.
We have thoroughly enjoyed learning about travelling to different countries, investigating what the term “waterproof” means and hearing the story of Rainbow fish. Our classroom has become a ‘sea’ of beautiful art work and we particularly enjoyed making the rainbow fish from clay and adding shiny paint to make them look extra special.
