We have been doing lots of sorting in class. Questions we think about are: what’s the same, what’s different? This helps us to choose a way to sort the items. The children have been sorting by shape, size and colour.
On Tuesday we had some visitors from Strabane Academy. 3 GCSE students came along with their teacher Mrs Donaghy to teach us some Spanish for European Language Day. We are now able to say some common phrases in Spanish as well as different countries in Spanish.
All the boys and girls loved learning Spanish. Gracias Strabane Academy 😁
This week we’ve been learning the rhyme ‘Humpty dumpty’. We decided to think of a rescue plan to prevent any more eggs from smashing. The children came up with some ideas as to how we could protect Humpty Dumpty. Some of the ideas were quite elaborate, using bouncy castles for the egg to bounce off. As we couldn’t get our hands on a bouncy castle, we thought of materials we could wrap the end in. The children came up with water, cotton wool, pasta and sponges. We took the eggs outside and predicted which material we thought would be best. Finally Mrs Kane dropped the eggs and the children decided wether it would a good material to use or not. We had so much fun!
Well done to this weeks stars of the week

A huge well done to our children and parents who took part in our ditch the stabilisers session. Now to keep up the hard work at home, watch out for them cycling around the village!
Our topic this term is 'A time to rhyme'. To begin, we have been learning the nursery rhyme Miss Polly had a dolly. The children have enjoyed reciting the rhyme and sequencing the pictures. In class our play activities have been based around the nursery rhyme to extend our learning and knowledge. The children have a fantastic understanding of how to look after children who are feeling unwell, they have been sharing their own experiences of when they've felt sick and have used this to play doctors and nurses in our role-play area. Our school nurse paid our class a visit to explain how hospitals and doctors can help us when we are sick. The children brought a doll or teddy to school to care for it, they applied bandages and plasters and some 'doctors' were on hand to make important notes and administer medicine if needed. What a busy time we've had!
Well done to everyone this week. Keep up the hard work.
