Our topic this term is called ‘Through the eyes of the child’ 👀👁
Lockdown has not stopped the year 5/6 pupils from working their socks off and getting stuck into this topic.
See for yourselves what we have been learning in the first part of this amazing topic. Enjoy 😊
We all enjoyed our Christmas dinner in the hall last week - it was delicious!
Thank you to all our lovely canteen staff.
Here is our video filled with just some of the fun, festive activities we have been doing this month. We have had so much fun, especially acting out our little comedy sketch. We hope you enjoy watching it.
Merry Christmas from Mrs McClelland, Shauna and all the amazing boys and girls in Year 5/6.
Last week brought many fun and exciting activities. On Wednesday we were about to start our scavenger hunt when we heard bells ringing in the car park! It was Santa! We all loved having a wee chat with him and some of us got our photo taken. We then enjoyed our tasty gold coins that we all found. What an exciting break time!
Last week we arrived to school to find presents underneath our class Christmas tree! We excitedly opened them to discover we now have lots of new, fun games to play during golden time. What a lovely surprise!
Some of the games we received were Monopoly, hedbanz, 5 second rule, connect 4 and the old classic, snakes and ladders!
We enjoyed playing these games On Friday and can’t wait to play some more this week before we finish for Christmas!
Look at the excitement on those little faces!
Last week we started our new class novel - David Williams ‘Awful Auntie’. Everyone is really enjoying it so far and we just can’t wait to find out what the family mystery is.
All of the boys and girls have had a lovely day for world kindness day today.
Our anti-bullying ambassadors created little baskets with random acts of kindness for every class. Every child chose one and had to carry out their act at some point throughout the day. Some children helped the teacher, gave compliments and some drew pictures or wrote notes for their teachers and classroom assistants.
We also created lovely kindness posters. Please check out some of the photos. They are just so beautiful!
Last week our Anti-bullying ambassadors had a meeting to discuss what we could do for World Kindness day. We decided it would be nice to send thank you letters and some pictures to Altnagelvin. We thought with all their hard work during this world wide pandemic they would like a little pick me up. We posted them on Tuesday and got a lovely phone call on Thursday to thank us and to tell us how much they meant to all the staff.
Today we had such a lovely surprise when a lady called Nicola who is a theatre nurse came to our school to thank us in person ! She even brought us all treats! What a lovely gesture :)
We are just so delighted that our letters brought a smile to someone’s face.
Remember in a world where you can be anything - BE KIND!
We have been learning how to change the tense of verbs in literacy. Today we played a memory game where we had to match the correct present, future and past tense.
Is there any better maths lesson than one you can eat at the end?
This week we have been learning all about division.
We have shared sweets into equal groups and we have also used our sweets to learn about remainders.
We have linked multiplication and division and participated in lots of practical activities.
