We travelled to the Palace Stables in Armagh to learn more about life during World War 2. Many of the children dressed as Evacuees and this added to their enjoyment. We visited Mr Heaney in his kitchen. He was impressed that so many of the children had remembered their gas masks! He took us to the Anderson shelter and we all sang Run Rabbit Run. Next we met the GI captain who instructed us in marching and drilling. Some of us need a lot of practice!! He also taught us how to work out a coded message. Finally we went to the school room to make our Identity Cards and Evacuee labels. The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Many congratulations to our recent winners. Yesterday, in our Celebration Assembly, Harry, Oscar and Katie were awarded Teacher Monthly Certificates. Our stars of the week were Brett and Jara who joined our class on Monday and have been super pupils. The children also were so proud of their achievements in Mathletics, especially Oscar and Ollie who now have Platinum Certificates.
Today we also had fun researching hedgehogs and in art and craft we started our Blitz pictures and our Evacuee figures.
Please see a letter regarding a full day of strike action next Thursday 18th January.
Congratulations to all our recent Stars of the Week, Healthykidz Stars, Teacher’s monthly award winners, GTBG winner and Mathletics certificate winners. A special word of congratulations to Ollie and Oscar who have gained GOLD certificates. Excellent effort boys.
This week we have been working very hard on our Digital Art. Here are some examples of our work.
