Primary 2 have enjoyed learning about water and pirates in Term 3. Recently both Primary 2 classes had a full day of Pirate fun! The children came to school dressed as a pirate or favourite character from the story of Peter Pan, there was a lot of excitement. Each class heard pirate stories and sang pirate songs. Everyone got to make two pirate items, a pirate hat and a hook. They then made a yummy beach trifle! For snack the children enjoyed a pirate break including pirate boat fruit, plain biscuits and sea water juice (blue juice). After lunch it was time to search for treasure and every child got to find one gold chocolate coin. Throughout the day face painting was offered, you can imagine we had lots of pirate beards for home time!
Everyone had such a wonderful day.

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.

Primary One children recently had a day they will never forget. Thank you to Pilot Captain Adrian Knott and Cabin Crew member Christine!
The children came to school dressed for a flight to the sun. They checked in with their passports and luggage. Christine gave them boarding passes and the children went through security and into the departure lounge. Captain Knott shared lots of information about aeroplanes and his job before we boarded the aeroplane.
After take off the chijdren relaxed and enjoyed an in flight snack served by Christine and some P1 members of the Cabin Crew. Captain Knott landed the aeroplane safely and gave us all Log Books and gliders - it was a really special day as you can see from the photographs - enjoy!

As part of our Farm Topic, Primary One went to the village butchers to investigate what meat comes from a pig. Trader D showed the children various pork cuts including a pigs trotter! We brought some cocktail sausages back to school to cook and eat – they were delicious!
Thank you Trader D and thank you also to Mr McKittrick who accompanied us on our walk to ensure we crossed the road safely. We enjoyed every part of this investigation!
