Primary 5 had an exciting and educational trip to Parliament Buildings at Stormont, where they had the opportunity to learn all about how laws are made and how Northern Ireland is governed. During the guided tour, the children explored the impressive building, including the Assembly and Senate Chamber, and discovered the important work carried out by Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).
The pupils asked thoughtful questions and were engaged as they developed their understanding of democracy and decision-making. A highlight of the day was experiencing firsthand where debates take place and imagining what it might be like to represent their community in the future as they took on the debate of, ‘Should school uniform be banned?’
Well done to all of Primary 5 for their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm throughout this memorable visit.

Primary 5 recently visited Tayto Castle. The children enjoyed the experience of seeing how crisps are made from potato to crisp. They had a tour of the factory and were able to sample a range of the products made within the factory.

Our Primary 5 pupils will continue to carry on the important role of Reading Buddies for our Primary 1 children in Term 3. This successful initiative brings older and younger pupils together to share the joy of reading while developing essential literacy skills.
During each session, the Primary 5 pupils read a variety of engaging stories to their Primary 1 partners. They proudly model strong reading skills by focusing on accuracy, fluency and expression, helping the younger pupils to understand how good readers bring stories to life. The Primary 1 pupils always listen attentively and are clearly motivated by working alongside their older reading buddies.
The programme continues to be hugely beneficial for both age groups. Our Primary 1 pupils gain confidence, enthusiasm and enjoyment in listening to stories, while they develop their own understanding of books and storytelling.
For our Primary 5 pupils, the experience is especially valuable. Acting as reading role models helps them to build confidence in their own reading abilities, deepen their understanding of texts and strengthens their communication skills. Supporting younger children also encourages responsibility, leadership and kindness.
The Reading Buddies programme continues to be a wonderful example of learning together as a school community. We are extremely proud of our Primary 5 pupils for the care, effort and enthusiasm they show and we look forward to continuing this rewarding experience in Term 3.
