Primary 2 are having a ‘Polar Express’ themed week in school. To start the exciting fun-filled week the children came to school dressed in their pyjamas! We enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and cookies while watching the Polar Express movie. We wrote about the story and added marshmallows! All activities this week are based around the story of the Polar Express.

On Friday Primary 2 Boyce had the honour of leading the school’s Remembrance Day assembly. The class shared a powerful message with the whole school teaching everyone about the meaning of the word Remembrance and the significance of wearing a poppy.
Three children confidently explained what each part of the poppy represents—the red petals for the bloodshed in war, the green leaf for hope and renewal and the black centre for mourning and reflection. A poignant remembrance poem was read aloud, followed by a passage of scripture: “Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
The assembly continued with a performance of the song Battle Belongs, sung by all the children together. Five pupils also sang a special solo section.
Each child wore a personally crafted poppy made from flower petals, adding a beautiful and meaningful touch to the occasion.
A special thanks to all the parents who supported their children in learning the song and preparing their speaking parts. Every child was truly amazing—we couldn’t be prouder of them.

On Friday morning Primary 2 Mrs Munce's children had their class assembly. The children taught about harvest using the story of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.
This harvest time, the dwarfs had decided on a career change - they were going to be farmers! Snow White was hosting a Big Waringstown Taste-off show and needed her dwarf farmers to help gather vegetables.
With the help of her animal friends, they covered the vegetables in chocolate and had 2 contestants (Mrs McElhinney and Mr Gault) to taste each chocolate covered vegetable and try and guess correctly.
The children told the story of Joseph and how God had blessed him with the ability to interpret dreams. He gathered in and stored the harvest during the 7 years of plenty so there would be enough for the 7 years of famine. The children read some verses from the Bible and thanked everyone who brought in food for the food bank. They finished with a fun harvest song, featuring 3 soloists and a prayer. Thank you to all the children who worked so hard and performed so well this morning.
Psalm 67:6 says "The land has produced its harvest; God, our God, has blessed us".

Primary 2 travelled to Armagh Palace Stables today for our ‘Apple Trip’. We learned how apples come from the tree, to the factory, to the shops and to our homes. We saw how apple juice was made in the 1700’s and how to make apple potato bread. We made the life-cycle of an apple in the craft room and played lots of fun apple games! A super day which was enjoyed by all the children.

Primary 2 finished their 'Hedgehog week' by making their own clay hedgehogs. We moulded the clay and then used matchsticks for the spines and added eyes and a snout!
