Last week we were exploring 3D shapes. We played lots of different games, practical activities and watched videos and learnt songs. We made 3D shapes using cocktail sticks and mini marshmallows, played connect four (monster shape version), looked at nets of 3D shapes and then created and designed our own. Just look at our pictures to see how much fun we had!
We all had great fun on Wednesday in our wonderful Christmas jumpers. We had a competition where we had to design our own Christmas jumpers then we had fun with photo props and got some lovely Christmas photos. We then danced the afternoon away during our Christmas disco. We hope you like all our photos!
Our choir treated us to a few songs in our last assembly before end of term. They have been singing their little hearts out and spreading the Christmas cheer. They have been out and about as well, visiting Melmount Manor, Mums & Tots and the Tuesday Club. Well done, we are extremely proud. 😇😊
Well done to all our wonderful designers, Liz had an extremely difficult job judging.
Today all of P6 and P7 came together to do some work with Izak 9. We all worked in groups and solved problems based on multiples and prime numbers. Some questions were tricky but we all helped each other. Mrs Doherty even taught Mrs McClelland a thing or two!
We have been so busy in P5/6 which is why we have been so quiet updating all our lovely parents with our news. A couple of weeks ago we had an animation workshop delivered by the nerve centre. We learnt all about how movies are made and then we made our own movie using a green screen based on Disney’s movie ‘Small Foot’. It was all very exciting and we all had lots of fun.
Today we wore odd socks to school to raise awareness for Anti bullying week. In assembly we watched a short video about having respect for other people. Our odd socks were worn to represent that we are all unique, we definitely saw some really unique odd socks today.
Today we had a workshop all about identity. We learnt all about fingerprints and how everyone's is completely different. We discovered which type ours was in a really interesting activity. We also tasted lots of different foods. The tomatoes didn't go down so well!
Y6 enjoyed learning new skills with children from Bready and St. Mary's Cloughcor PS. Watch out for the sharks lurking under the colourful rainbow sea!
Last week our class started Pushkin workshops with Frank Galligan. In groups we created a verse for a school eco song to the tune of Bob Dylan’s hit single ‘Blowin in the wind’. Frank encouraged us to think about issues affecting our world and animals that are being affected.
This week we travelled to Melmount Nursing Home where we performed our song to the residents. Throughout the afternoon children had opportunities to chat with the residents and Frank told us all many funny stories and read some of his favorite poems to us which we really enjoyed.
