Back in September / October of Term 1 our school participated in the London Mini Marathon Event which entailed covering a distance of 2.6 miles over a specified period of time.

We are thrilled to have achieved this as a whole school.

Dear Parents

Anti-bullying (Alliance NI) week begins on Mon 16 November with this year’s theme being ‘United Against Bullying.’

As well as several in class activities on Monday 16 November we will be joining schools all over the UK to spread awareness of Anti-Bullying by wearing odd socks to school (with normal school uniforms).

We are also aware that Friday 13 November is Children in Need Day. Therefore, we plan to celebrate Children in Need Day on Monday 16 November by wearing odd socks.

If you wish to make a donation to the Children in Need charity, simply send the money into the class teacher on Monday 16 November and we will pass all donations on to the BBC Children in Need appeal.

Kind regards

Remembrance 2020

Today saw a very different Remembrance Day within school.

Even though we couldn’t come together in the Assembly Hall, the children were able to sing a hymn and listen to the Remembrance Assembly via their Interactive Whiteboards. The significance of the Poppy emblem and the day itself were explained.

Primary 7 Mrs Sloan’s class came to the village War Memorial to place the school’s wreath at the base of the clock tower too. The oldest boy and girl from the school placed the wreath on behalf of the school.

Primary 2 had lots of fun making tasty pumpkin biscuits. We made orange icing and decorated our own biscuit using lovely sweet treats. The best part was taking them home to eat.

Primary 7E Displays

Details: Category: Primary 7; Published: Friday, 16 October 2020 14:29

Primary 7 have had an extremely busy and enjoyable first half of Term 1. As we finish for the Half Term holiday we thought we would show you some of the things we have been working on.

The class have been busily researching and preparing their presentations on various aspects of life in Japan. Japan is the focus of their World Around Us study on the developed world. The children chose topics such as Japanese food, sport, school, culture, technology and fashion.

They have been busily designing and painting their Japanese fans as part of their detailed study of Japan. As you can see they're definitely Fantastic!!

The children have been enjoying the topic and have already found out a great detail about the Japanese culture and city life in Tokyo.

BEES ARE AMAZING!!

Did you know, there are about 25,000 types of bees in the world, with probably more species awaiting discovery?

Were you aware that most species are solitary, that males cannot sting, and that collectively, they help to pollinate an estimated one third of all the food we eat?

Primary 7 have been learning about bees and how we can help them...

The class have enjoyed learning all about bees and how important they are as well as designing honey posters and labels! It definitely has left them buzzzzzzing especially when we spent a morning enjoying honey on pancakes and toast!

Mrs Erskine's class also finished their compliments of one another. The finished display certainly looks well and is a highlight of our PDMU studies. Please see pictures of all of our displays below.

Primary Seven - World Around Us Studies

Details: Category: Primary 7; Published: Monday, 12 October 2020 14:38

This term, Primary Seven have been connecting with electricity! We have been working in partnerships to construct a simple circuit, adding a switch and a buzzer, and then making our own version of a sensor pad.

We also have been learning about Victorian Transport and have discovered the history of the sailing ships which crossed the world in the 1800's to deliver wool to Australia and then to return with expensive cargo of tea. We have been composing diary entries of a sailor working on one of these ships and then have been using ICT to present and display our work in the classroom.
