Thank you to Donna from Sustrans for another fantastic lesson today. Mrs Kane's class and Mr Campbell's class took part in another important lesson, learning about being bright and safe during the darker winter nights. The children learnt about the importance of what colours are best when we are travelling in the evening and at night.
Thank you Donna
Pupils from Year 5,6 and 7 took part in a football blitz in Strabane. Pupils from 5 other primary schools also attended, the teams were made up of students from every school. Each team played 4 games. We had lots of fun! Well done to the winners and a big thank you to everyone at Sion Swifts for allowing us to take part in such a fantastic programme.
Everyone looks so well!
We had Constable Lorraine visit our school today from the PSNI, talking to our KS2 children about some important topics. Lorraine talked about the importance of not talking with or playing games with strangers online, and not sharing personal details or photos with anyone online. We also discussed the dangers of carrying prohibited items and how to keep ourselves safe from peer pressure. The children all enjoyed the visit - thank you Lorraine!
As part of our topic, we have been learning all about mummification during ancient Egyptian times. We used a tomato for our ‘body’ and followed most of the steps for mummification.
1. We washed our body
2. Removed the inside of the tomato (the organs)
3. Covered it in natron salt to preserve.
We will observe how our tomatoes change over time and compare them with a tomato that has not been mummified!
Well done everyone! Another busy week for all our shining stars!
