Primary 4C did a fantastic job leading their assembly to mark the end of Anti-Bullying Week. They enjoyed sharing messages about the importance of kindness and including others, reflecting this year’s theme: “Power for Good.” Their thoughtful words reminded us all how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Well done, Primary 4C!

In preparation for our World Around Us topic, "Life in the Recent Past," which includes the war years, Primary 4 made a visit to the Palace Stables in Armagh for the day steeped in the 1940's! We started off with an interactive discussion about how WW2 actually started, which was very informative. The classes were separated and went to different activities. One was an interactive information session looking at the contents of an evacuee's suitcase and learning about what life was like in homes during the war.
Another station was into a 1940's school room. Here we made our identity cards and personal labels which would have been with us at all times on our evacuation.
We also met "Sergeant Balton," the GI soldier from Texas. He told us what his job was like and how he ended up in Northern Ireland. He also helped us to decode some secret messages. In another room, we met the evacuation officer. He told us all about how and why evacuation took place. He also told us about the importance of "black outs" for homes and air raid shelters to keep us safe from bombs. We even visited an air raid shelter in the grounds of the Palace Stables. He made some of us wardens, who kept the rest of the class in order.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading back to school. This day has really made us excited for all that we will be studying in World Around Us!
