We all had so much fun playing outside today in the snow!
All of the year 6’s enjoyed their first session of shared education at Strabane Academy on Monday. The boys and girls all participated in rugby alongside Bready and Cloughcor PS. We can’t wait for our next session.
The boys and girls have all been enjoying ‘Charlotte’s Web’ in class. We all thought of different food items for Wilbur the pig and used adjectives to describe these. Some children described them in a very appealing way and some sounded completely revolting! We then designed and created a menu for Wilbur using Microsoft Word. The boys and girls learnt how to insert a border, use bullet points and insert a picture. Check out some of the amazing menus. What would you choose to eat? 🤭
Mrs McClelland’s class finished their ten week block of swimming lessons in Riversadale Leisure Centre yesterday.
Today the boys and girls have received their certificates to celebrate how far each child can swim.
This class will have a second block of swimming lessons later in the school year. We can’t wait to see how much you will improve over these lessons.

We started learning about length this week. Children are confident in estimating and measuring in centimetres and metres. We engaged in fun activities where we measured things in our classroom and parts of our body using rulers and tape measures. Today, we went outside to measure the length of some dinosaurs using trundle wheels. The largest one we measured was the ultrasaurus which was 30 metres long! Check out our photos.
What a fantastic effort that was made by our children, staff and parents today for World Book Day. The children were allowed to wear pyjamas or a book character costume and the effort put in was amazing.
Well done to each of you. 😁
Last Friday was a very exciting ‘Feel good Friday’ in school. We all had a scone and hot chocolate for break. It was also Christmas jumper day. We all paid £1 to wear our jumpers and all money is being donated to ‘Save the Children’. Some children even made their own Christmas jumpers.
We hope you enjoy our Christmas play! Sing along to all our songs 🎵🎄🧑🎄
We have been learning how to calculate change in numeracy and today we played a fun version of the popular game monopoly. We worked in groups of 4 and the first person to reach 50 points won. Check out our winners! We have a very competitive bunch in year 5/6 😋
Every Wednesday we go to Mrs Kane's classroom and we have great fun doing art with her.
We have been using lots of different materials to create a beautiful Autumn picture. To begin with, we talked about creating a pathway. We experimented with drawing the lines at different angles to achieve the correct look. Next we needed to draw a country house, full of lovely details such as windows and plants. Using chalks, we managed to create the look of a leafy path by smudging the colours together. Then using crayons we completed the sky and the house. By mixing autumn colours on a sponge we managed to achieve the look of autumn trees. Finally we added trees to the pathway, and their shadows using charcoal.
Take a look at our fabulous Autumn pictures, aren’t they amazing?
