Primary 5 have recently been working on Perimeter in Numeracy. They have identified the basic equation for Perimeter and have been experimenting with a variety of dimensions using Minecraft on the iPad. The children have then presented their findings in the Pic Kids Collage App to demonstrate their understanding of Perimeter. The children have enjoyed this task and showed excellent skills in the Apps they were expected to use. Some of the pupils extended their learning to demonstrate and present Area as well! Take a look at our gallery to see how the children got on and to view some of the finished projects:

Primary 5 Enjoy A Visit To Parliament Buildings

Details: Category: Primary 5; Published: Thursday, 20 June 2019 10:47

Primary 5 recently enjoyed a visit to Parliament Buildings, Stormont. They were given the opportunity to visit the Great Hall and the Assembly Chamber. The children were able to take part in a debate on 'the advantages/disadvantages of school uniform'. Everyone took part and contributed to the discussion, the comments were interesting! The children were then expected to take their vote on the debate and had to make a choice of 'for' or 'against' by walking through a particular door to be counted. They thoroughly enjoyed this exercise! Afterwards the children were then given the opportunity to take part in a voting ballot, four pupils were chosen to represent various laws. Their job was to convince everyone that their law was the best. The children were then given a ballot paper from 1 to 4 and were asked to place their vote into a ballot box. The votes were finally counted and the results announced!! Mrs Peacocke and Mrs Williamson both agreed that they may have a few budding politicians in Primary 5! The children enjoyed a picnic in the closely located Stormont Park afterwards. Take a look through our picture gallery to see how the children got on:

Also, one of our P7 pupils was put forward for the 'Best Kept Pupil Achiever Award' due to her work on our School Eco Council and Eco related activities and initiatives over the past number of years. We are delighted to announce that our entrant won this award, which had some very tough competition.

P4 Visit Clandeboye Estate

Details: Category: Forest Schools; Published: Thursday, 20 June 2019 10:09

Primary 4 had a fantastic day on Tuesday 18 June as they travelled to the Clandeboye Estate to become 'Clandeboye Nature Rangers.' When we arrived we had our break, and then walked to the Forest School area. Here we were treated to a range of games and activities. We started off playing a bird calling game, followed by a bug hunt. After this the boys and girls were put into groups of three and created nature pictures.

Next, the pupils were separated into three groups, and worked through stations including creating wood cookies, making smores at the camp fire, and then free time around the Forest School area.

This was our first time visiting Clandeboye, but it certainly won't be our last!

Primary 2 enjoyed a fun-filled day at Seapark beach. The weather stayed dry for their visit and the children played games, played in the sand, collected shells and had a paddle in the sea. They even waved to an aeroplane flying overhead. Take a look through our photo gallery to see if you can spot the plane! After our picnic, we fed the seagulls and waved goodbye to the beach. The children had a super day and enjoyed a visit from the ice cream van - yummy!

Primary 2 Enjoy A Visit From RNLI

Details: Category: Primary 2; Published: Wednesday, 19 June 2019 23:35

Primary 2 recently enjoyed a visit from the RNLI. Paul taught us how to stay safe at the beach and in the water. The children learned that they must always 'Stop and Think' and 'Stay Together' when near the water. They also heard a wonderful poem about 'Flea', the dog who got into trouble in the water!

The children all learned a little rhyme to help them stay safe ...

I will NEVER ... go near WATER ... without an ADULT!

We practiced how to float 'like a starfish' and Paul encouraged us all to try this with an adult as a special homework!

The four most important things children should remember when they are around rivers, lakes or the sea:

1. STOP and THINK

2. STAY TOGETHER

3. FLOAT

4. CALL 999 or 112

A huge thank you to Paul and the RNLI for delivering such an important message to Primary 2.
