We have all really enjoyed our topic this term all about bridges. This week we learnt all about the forces that make a bridge so strong - compression and tension. We done lots of fun practical activities to see just how these forces work.
Our class has been so busy and we are so lucky to be involved in so many exciting events. Two lovely lads from the Nerve centre came to deliver an animation workshop with our class. We used the apps green screen and iMovie to create our own dumbo movie. It was such fun and we learnt loads. We were at an advantage from our last animation workshop and remembered lots of what we learnt and were able to apply it to this workshop.
Lucy visited our school and went round all the classrooms delivering a super fun workshop tailored to each age group. From food detectives, fit factor and smoke busters, to staying safe in the sun, she really did do a great job of covering it all. Staff and children learnt all about looking after their own health in school and at home.

On Tuesday it was our last day with the sweet project. We had a lovely celebration day where we showed off our boxercise skills and received certificates and prizes.
Everyone really enjoyed this experience and we are very lucky to have been part of it.
Ballymagorry Centra were so kind to donate pancakes to the school last week. Year 5/6 had so much fun choosing their toppings for their pancakes and getting stuck in. Y6’s were super lucky and had two pancakes. During shared education we made healthy pancakes with fruit.
This year the slogan, "Together for a better internet", is a call to action for all stakeholders to join together and play their part in creating a better internet for everyone, and especially for children. The main message this year is based around consent.
Our whole day was spent learning all about what exactly consent is and how we can be safe online.
We watched videos, played quizzes, created cyber superheroes and made posters.

We are so sad to see Liz leave us. Lots of tears today from everyone. Such an amazing lady and we are all so blessed to have known her. Such a fun day had by all today.
We had so much fun this afternoon playing outside in the snow! Making the most before it turns to slush!
Our class are so lucky to be involved in such an amazing programme - Roots of empathy. It was Baby Ralph and mummy Victoria’s 4th visit to our class and we just can’t believe how much he has changed. Ralph is such a happy baby and he just loved when we talked and sang to him! We noticed so many changes in Ralph. He can sit for very short periods of time on his own and he can roll over. We always give Ralph lots of encouragement and praise when he does different things for us.
We talked about the different feelings and emotions that Ralph could and could not (yet) feel. We agreed that Ralph maybe won’t have some feelings like embarrassment but could feel jealousy and even anger. It’s ok for baby Ralph to have all these different feelings!
We can’t wait to see baby Ralph again. Maybe then he will have some teeth!
