We began by researching images of winter trees and we looked at tree diagrams to find out about the different parts of a tree. We talked about the varying length and thickness of tree trunks and branches and worked on reflecting this within our art work. To create a winter scene, we used cotton bud printing to create white snowflakes.
Today we took the binoculars we made and went on a bird hunt around our school. We saw a robin, starling, blackbird and pigeon. We also saw the daffodils and crocuses starting to grow.
P7MM and P7L started their week with a Sentinus Activity delivered by Peter. We were tasked to design and build bridges using paper and masking tape. Our bridges were tested for strength using 5-10 litres of water attached to the bridge by a hook. Some very creative designs and great team work.
P4KE enjoyed a great day learning all about the Belfast Blitz and making an Anderson Shelter, with their friends from Presentation Primary School.
P5D are working hard this half term to design and make an iMovie linked to the WAU topic ‘Energy Sources’. As part of the WAU topic they have been looking at how we can save energy both in school and at home. On a planning board P5 worked in groups to plan what they would record, who would record it and what they would say. Once the planning boards were complete they have started to record in various locations around school. When all recordings are compete they are now able to start creating the iMovie. Here are some photos to show what they have been doing.
