This week the pupils in Mr. Campbell’s class, were learning about floating and sinking as part of their topic work. We predicted if an item would float or sink. Some of the items sank and some of them floated. The last item we used was an orange, but it was very unusual as it floated with its peel still on but sank when it was peeled. Do you know why?

We had the most wonderful visit from The Ulster Orchestra this morning! It was such an informative session about the different families within the orchestra and Nigel, Cillian, Ralph and Helen played their stringed instruments to some popular tunes from well known movies. We loved our morning finding out all about different instruments, how they make sound and some children got involved in making music with the musicians. A super morning! Thank you for coming to our school.
