P5 at W5 in 2013

P5 at the W5 Crime Lab

P5 at the W5 Crime Lab

The P5s had an exciting trip to W5 today. They became forensic scientists for part of the day to solve the crime of the stolen computer. They undertook a crime investigation in the W5 lab using fingerprints, chromatography and fibre analysis to eliminate suspects.

The workshop reinforced their skills in investigative science including observation, recording, interpreting and evaluating results.

P2 Visit to Folk Museum

P2 enjoyed a trip to the Ulster Folk Museum. They visited the old town and enjoyed looking at how houses have changed, as part of their Houses and Homes topic.

They visited the farm house, baked soda bread, made straw crafts and washed laundry in the town through interactive workshops.

The children had a ride on an old fashioned bus and enjoyed exploring the old shops, houses and school.

The rain stayed away to give us a dry day and great fun was had by all.
