Primary 2 enjoyed a fun-filled day at Seapark beach.  The weather stayed dry for their visit and the children played games, played in the sand, collected shells and had a paddle in the sea.  They even waved to an aeroplane flying overhead.  Take a look through our photo gallery to see if you can spot the plane!  After our picnic, we fed the seagulls and waved goodbye to the beach.  The children had a super day and enjoyed a visit from the ice cream van - yummy!

Primary 2 recently enjoyed a visit from the RNLI.  Paul taught us how to stay safe at the beach and in the water.  The children learned that they must always 'Stop and Think' and 'Stay Together' when near the water.  They also heard a wonderful poem about 'Flea', the dog who got into trouble in the water!

The children all learned a little rhyme to help them stay safe ...

I will NEVER ... go near WATER ... without an ADULT!

We practiced how to float 'like a starfish' and Paul encouraged us all to try this with an adult as a special homework!

The four most important things children should remember when they are around rivers, lakes or the sea:

1. STOP and THINK

2. STAY TOGETHER

3. FLOAT

4. CALL 999 or 112

A huge thank you to Paul and the RNLI for delivering such an important message to Primary 2.

Recently Primary 2 Miss Ervine's class presented their assembly on the topic of 'Houses and Homes'.  They showed us the different types of houses we live in and performed the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'.

The assembly taught us about the importance of building our lives on strong foundations and how we can do this by choosing to follow God and by showing  FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.

The class worked really hard preparing for their assembly and enjoyed performing it for the rest of the school.  Miss Ervine and Mrs McCracken were very proud of Primary 2!

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 our own apple core using card, lollypop sticks and string. A super day was enjoyed by all the children! J

Children from Primary 2 recently got busy with apples!  They stewed the Bramley apples with Mrs McCracken and then, together as a whole class, made the pastry, rolling out the dough and cutting a circle shape for the base and top. They used the stewed apple to fill the pies. Every child loved making their very own apple pie.

The only challenge was keeping it until home time!! J
