We have been having a Polar Express week in Primary 2!!

On Monday, our classroom had turned into a train and the children all came into school in their pyjamas! The P2 staff were dressed as train conductors, waitresses and chefs or in their pjyamas too! We had hot chocolate and cookies onboard the Polar Express and listened to the story. All week, our literacy and numeracy were based upon the story and we wrote our own version of the Polar Express.

Primary 7- Zero Waste Champions Programme

Details: Category: News; Published: Friday, 29 November 2024 12:00

This year we are very excited to be a pilot school for the Zero Waste Champions Programme. Their vision is to educate and equip young people to become change makers at this crucial time in the Climate Emergency. The programme aims to embed the Circular Economy in schools across Northern Ireland, providing young people with knowledge about the Circular Economy and designing waste out of their schools.

This week Primary 7 Mrs Humphrey’s class welcomed representatives from Northern Ireland Resources Network and Ostrero (a Scottish based Circular Economy organisation) into school.

The pupils were introduced to the term Circular Economy and discussed their knowledge and behaviour with regards to waste reduction. They then took part in a practical session designing and creating a bag using scrap materials. The creativity was wonderful to see and all pupils were really engaged in the task. They are now looking forward to the next workshop which will take place in Term 2. Please view more images below.

In P2, our children have been learning about 'Wonderful me'. We have learned about our faces and bodies and what our skeletons look like. We learned about our 5 senses and about our families. We enjoyed making pizza faces using healthy food. We have also been learning about 3d shapes and enjoyed eating pringles from a 'cylinder' container and having ice-cream in a 'cone' as a Friday treat!

The boys and girls in Mrs Carpenter’s P4 class, have been working hard over the past few weeks preparing for their Anti-Bullying assembly. This year’s theme was 'Choose Respect' and with the help of our friends ‘The Respectables’ they reminded us of how we can show respect, by what we say and do. The children had lots of fun performing their short play in front of the whole school and Mrs Carpenter was very proud of all her pupils. Please see images below.
