On Tuesday 10th October, Nigel and Alys from the Ulster Orchestra came into school to perform a concert for P5 and P7. The children learnt all about the different instruments that make up an orchestra and enjoyed listening to Nigel and Alys playing a variety of different pieces of music. Some children then got the opportunity to play instruments and be the conductor. Here are a few photos to show what the children did.
What better way to finish off our week on learning all about the letter ‘P’, than with a class party? All week the children have been party planning and making lists. We have been busy writing invitations during literacy, writing about our ages in numeracy, designing birthday cakes, party placemats and party hats during play-based learning and yesterday we decorated biscuits. Today we put up balloons and set our tables for eating our party food. Then we had lots of fun playing party games and revising our sounds. Learning is fun! Today was a fantastic celebration too of how well our children have settled in to Primary 1!
