Latest News - Shared Education

2nd Feb 2024
It was our first time going to Presentation Primary School and we were so excited! P3WA had a fantastic time reacquainting themselves with the P3 children at Presentation. We played games to find out a little more about each other, we watched the story of ‘The Three little Pigs’ and took part in a carousel of activities related to the story and we learnt a song that included some fantastic air guitar performances!

We travelled to Presentation PS this week to meet us with our friends once again. We started with ‘Find a Friend Bingo’ before heading to the classroom to learn about the experiences of Evacuees in WW2.  The children ‘packed’ their suitcases, made Evacuee figures and listened to music from the Glenn Millar Band. We finished off with a parachute game. We have enjoyed our Shared Education sessions this term and look forward to meeting up with our new friends again in Term 3.

Today we walked to the People’s Park to join with our friends  from Presentation PS once again for a fun day. We enjoyed many activities including dance, rugby and basketball. We also went for a walk and Emily found a fairy door. We had a great day.

We welcomed our friends from Presentation again this week for our third, and sadly, last Shared Education lesson this week. Continuing with our theme of WW2, our topic was ‘Evacuation’ and the children learnt about why and how children were evacuated, their thoughts and feeling about this and how their lives changed. They wrote fabulous acrostic poems and finished off by making evacuee figures to take home. The children thoroughly enjoyed this lesson and are looking forward to meeting up with their new friends again, hopefully in the not too distant future.

We welcomed our friends from a Presentation for our second Shared Education lesson. This week we learnt about air raids and  the Belfast Blitz. We also constructed our own Anderson Shelters. We worked together really well and had lots of fun.

This morning we welcomed our friends from Presentation PS for our first Shared Education day. Our lessons will be based on our WAU topic WW2. After playing some ‘Getting to know you’ games, we discussed and shared what we already know and what we’d like to learn about WW2. Then we did some research to complete a timeline. We finished off with story time and some singing. We all had a great day.

Today, P7L welcomed Presentation Primary School with open arms. First we all got to know eachother by playing a (very funny) Bingo game. After that, we got to work on learning about 'algorithms' and 'programs'.

After some well deserved lunch, we followed our own step-by-step guide on how to fold a paper aeroplane. We obviously had to put these paper machines to the test in the hall, seeing which one would float the furthest.

A very succesful and fun, first day. See you again next Wednesday.

Thanks to all of you who donated to this charity before Christmas. On Friday 17th December we all wore our Christmas jumpers or festive outfits.
We raised a phenomenal £735.40 so many thanks. The cheque was handed over this morning to Rebecca who came into school to represent this very worthy charity.
