Year 7 girls were involved with a project "Little Girls with Big Goals" in which they took part in two workshops. They learned all about 'Great Woman who had changed the World' and were inspired to be involved with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) by Nicky and Nicola from Allstate. Now the girls have a new mantra- Set your goals and don't stop until you get there!
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.
Last week our class put on a fantastic performance of the Christmas nativity story. The children did us proud as staff but I am very sure that our parents were as proud watching their little one on the stage. Each child put in so much effort and were all bright shining stars. Well done Nursery :)
Today in nursery we had a special visitor called Stuart. He is a policeman and he came to talk to us about his job and he reminded us that police officers are there to keep us safe. He talked to us about how to stay safe when crossing the road, riding our bicycles and staying safe when we are in the car. The children had lots of fun trying on his coat and hat and he showed us all the different things that he carries on his belt everyday to work.
Today we had a visitor from Donal McGovern who is an optician from Strabane. He shared with us the importance of eating lots of vegetables to ensure our eyes are healthy. He told us what happens when we go to the opticians and that we do not need to be afraid. We looked at what our eyes look like inside and we had some fun trying on his 'special' glasses. Even the big people in nursery had some fun!!!!!
This week we explored number names. We played some games were we had to find the matching number within a busy picture. We looked at the numbers that end with 'ty' and the numbers that end in 'teen.' With the parents we investigated the welsh numbers and how they have been devised. Believe it or not they make more sense than our numbers within the English language. Go and investigate this for yourself.
Year 7 designed and made their own electrical moon buggies with Mrs Doherty. They enjoyed making electrical circuits with motors and testing out their designs.
Last week Y6/7 learned all about Diwali, festival of light. If you want to find out more follow the link below.
