Primary 5 recently had a very enjoyable 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 and play in the closely located Stormont Park afterwards. Take a look through our picture gallery to see how the children got on:
This week, both P2 classes went on a trip to Quality Time in Banbridge. We had such an amazing time. As soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted by Natasha, the owner of Quality Time and we knew we were in for an exciting morning.
Firstly, we entered the wonderful outdoor play area and our lovely dry morning suddenly turned into a Winter wonderland. Can you believe that we had snow in June? (see pictures). Next we went into 2 groups and half of the class were brought into the workshop room while the other half of the class got to explore and use their imaginations around the topic of pirates and water in the indoor/outdoor area.
During the workshop the children had hands on experience playing at a number of stations such as investigating ice, spraying clouds with coloured water, mixing primary colours to make secondary colours, weighing, small world pirate play, marbling etc. We even got to explore live tadpoles. It was absolutely wonderful as the pictures show. Meanwhile in the main area; the boys and girls enjoyed playing in the role play area which had been transformed into a hospital. They also got to explore more in the topic of water by brushing pictures of teeth with toothpaste, washing babies in the bath, playing in the outdoor kitchen etc. They were also treated to a beautiful, healthy snack of fruit, cheese, breadsticks, pancakes, water or milk.
If you haven’t visited this hidden gem, it is a must, you will not be disappointed.

Recently both Primary 5 classes enjoyed the "Our City" Young Enterprise day.
The children learnt all about the various components needed to build a city. They identified a wide variety of buildings and what purpose each had.
The whole day was a most enjoyable experience and the children ended the session by designing and producing their very own city.
