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 in p2/3 we have been learning about why we wear poppies at this time of year. We also learned about what the colours of the poppy mean then we created our own poppy collages.
P2/3 enjoyed a visit from Environmentalist Lynn Greer who talked to us about different forest animals and how they hibernate for the winter. Did you know that bats wrap themselves up in their wings to keep warm and hibernate in trees? Hedgehogs snuggle up in a ball in the autumn leaves to hibernate. Their hearts only beat twice a minute when in hibernation and they wake up in Spring. We enjoyed making our own leaf crowns. Have a look!
Today P2/3 had the first of our Mandarin Chinese lessons by Sun. We learned all about the Mid-Autumn festival which is being celebrated now around the time of the full moon. The Chinese people celebrate this festival by eating ‘Moon cake’. We got to decorate our own. Have a look!
Today p2/3 had the opportunity to listen to a talk on recycling by Yvonne from Derry/Strabane council. We learned about all the different materials which can be recycled in our blue bins and what the recycled materials can be made into.
Who said there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo?
We had fun making masks of the different characters in our topic book ‘The Gruffalo’. Have a look!
Today the children from P5/6 and P2/3 walked to Artigarvan Park for the morning. We had great fun playing football, parachute games, skipping and playing on the apparatus. We even had a visit from the ice-cream van before we made our way back to school.
Well done to all the children who participated in Sports Day. As always, competitors were strong resulting in a few trophy ties! We are extremely proud of everyone who took part and perservered to reach the finish line in the races.
