Recently Primary 5 have been taking the opportunity to utilize the sunshine as best they could by getting outdoors for their Forest School Activity.  Everyone worked superbly in their small groups to identify the rivers of Northern Ireland and create a name frame from a wide variety of natural resources.  Mrs Williamson and Mrs Peacocke were SO proud of the final results and also by the very positive comments made by the children.  They all expressed enjoyment of the outdoor activities and definitely know their Northern Ireland rivers!  Well done everyone.

Primary 5 recently enjoyed their Minecraft Numeracy Task.  They have been revising Perimeter and how they can use an equation to find the Perimeter of shapes.  The children were tasked to build their own shapes using the Minecraft App with specific Perimeters.  Everyone participated in this activity and enjoyed working in small groups.  We hope to be able to use this App again to help us with our topic of Area in Term 3.

Primary 2 recently enjoyed a fantastic beach day! We played in a variety of areas outside in the lovely sunshine before coming inside to a special seaside themed snack.  We then got creative and made our own seaside desserts to bring home, they looked so yummy!

We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch up on the Muga and then came back down to the classroom for some ice-cream and dancing. A brilliant day from start to finish!

This week in Forest School the P4s were learning about area. Each pupil was given a leaf and had to decide on something to cover it's surface with. After some discussion, the pupils were then given cubes (standard unit) to make the measuring of the leaf's surface area easier. 

The next challenge was for the children to cover the surface of a larger space with items they found around them. Some groups then used string or sticks to create their own squares for counting.
