Latest News - Year 1/2

5th Jun 2023

Today 53 children from nursery and P1/2 went on our class trip to The Playshed. The first excitement was when they realised they were going on a double decker bus. 🚌 Firstly we got them all buckled in safely and ready for the road. 
At The Playshed, we had lots of fun running around the soft play area. Even the adults had some fun too 😉😉. We then had some sausages/goujons and chips along with ice cream for dessert. 🍦
We had time for some more play in the soft play frames before it was time to get on the bus and return to school. 🚌

The children behaved exceptionally well and each of them had a very happy face all morning. Well done boys and girls on a super class trip! 👍

P1/2 really enjoyed spending the afternoon on their bikes/ scooters. It was really great for Mr Henderson and Anne to see how well they can use them. They all used their bikes and scooters so safely.

P1/2 have been busy planting. Mrs Pollock very kindly gave us onions to plant. They really enjoyed digging the soil out and putting it into plant pots. 

This was our first time visiting the new outdoor learning area.

P1/2 has been hit by Christmas! It is great to see so many happy faces and they are so excited! We have even been visited by a naughty elf called Buster! (Even though Mr Henderson doesn’t like elves). Ask your child about Buster everyday to see what he has done. 

I hope you like the photos of our lovely class decorating.

All of our Year 1 children received a gift from the Education Authority's Education Library Service and BookTrust NI.

Every child in Year 1 received a Time to Read pack. The pack this year contains the book "We're going to find the Monster" by Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola alongside some top tips for reading together, a colouring sheet, spot-the-difference and a QR code to watch the story being read out loud.

Research shows that a child who reads for pleasure will do better at school, even in subjects like maths. Not only that, but if a family read books together, it's a great way to bond, talk about the day, and have a lot of fun!
