Year 5/6 have had a lot of fun over the past few weeks making Viking shields and swords. Once created, pupils were able to write instructions on how they make their pieces in Literacy, before having a mock up ‘Viking raid’. I’m sure you’ll agree that we have some angry looking Vikings in our class!!

Our Eco Committee walked across to Artigarvan Hall to meet Iris and her helpers from New Horizons. Iris showed the children how to arrange and plant the plants and the children got busy planting. They had lots of fun and enjoyed a lovely treat afterwards in the Hall.

Y5/6 have really been enjoying our weekly sessions with Chris. 

This programme aims to educate our children on the importance of making healthier food choices and creating active habits.

This week, Chris taught us all about the different food groups and how much we should be eating of each one.  He also had a look in some of our lunchboxes to check we weren’t eating too many sugary foods! He was very impressed with our healthy lunches.

After each lesson, the boys and girls love getting outside to play some football with Chris.

Our term 3 topic is Off we go… so far we’ve been learning about the Artemis moon mission, what it’s like to be an astronaut and we’ve had a go at designing our own space helmets. Following this we discussed different types of transport. Outside, the children did a survey on the traffic passing the school. The most popular vehicle was a car and the children were disappointed that no bikes were spotted during the survey. Next up we will be going on a journey with Mr Gumpy and his car, stayed tuned for more updates!
