Reading Buddies - Room 2 and Room 14

We are having fun every Tuesday spending time with our reading buddies!

P1 R3 love our P5 R8 reading buddies!

Every Tuesday afternoon, P1R3 look forward to reading our favourite books with our P5 reading buddies. We wish it was Tuesday every day! :)

P1 R1 Term 2a- 2020. Arctic Adventures

We have had a great start to 2020 in P1! We have enjoyed learning about Winter at home, and in Polar lands. Role playing arctic animals is one of our favourite things to do during play, and one day we made hot chocolate to hep us keep all warm in the cold months! The P5s come down to read with us once a week now, so we look forward to seeing our ‘Reading Buddies’ each Tuesday, and like to say hello to them if we pass them in the corridor too! Meanwhile we are getting better and better with our letters and numbers… we’ve started to build our own words now, and are beginning to add numbers together.

Girls Hockey Tournament

The girls hockey team took part in a friendly tournament at Strandtown Primary on Thursday. The two teams put in a number of great performances and really enjoyed themselves. Both teams had a taste of what it was like to play on grass which was a first for everyone! We played matches against Strandtown, Gilnahirk and Penrhyn. The A team put in some great performances, winning a couple of games and the B team fought hard despite not having a goalie. A special mention to Beth Harper for having a go in goal and making a couple of great saves! Well done to both teams!

P4 V E Day Celebrations!

 Last week P4 finished off their WW2 topic with their V E Day celebrations! We had a great day, skipping, playing old games, singing some of the songs from that time and even using enjoying some rationed chocolate and sweets! Take a look at some of our great evacuee outfits. We also enjoyed a visit from Gillian Spence, Mrs McKeown’s granny who lived just outside London during the war. She shared her memories of rationing, the air raid shelters and being evacuated.  

P1 R3 enjoy making and drinking hot chocolate! :)

P2 Explore Holywood

As part of our new topic, ‘Our Town’ we visited Holywood and recorded some of the shops, building and offices we saw on our walk.  We went to Tesco Express to buy some items and we used the self-service tills.   

P2 enjoy practical maths!

P2 Room 18 went into Holywood and visited Tesco

P3 have enjoyed learning about positioning, both inside and outside of the classroom.

'Pack Up Your Troubles' P4 WW2 Trip to Castle Ward

P4 had a great day on Wednesday on their trip to Castle Ward. They went back in time to May 1945 the day after the war was over and met different characters including Agnes the land girl, Polly the Cook and Sadie the Nursery maid. They learnt about life for Margaret and John the evacuees who were evacuated to Castle Ward during the war. They planted beans as part of the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign, played with old toys in the nursery, packed the evacuee’s suitcase and came across some usual war time recipes in the kitchen including vinegar cake and carrot cookies! It was a fantastic day out and we would like to say a big thank you to all the parent volunteers who came along! ~

Christmas Crackers!

P7 spent the morning making some Victorian Christmas crackers.

Inside is a Christmas treat and a festive joke:

What do snowmen ride to work on? Icicles!

Why does Santa have three gardens? So he can ho ho ho!

What do elves in love eat for breakfast? Mistletoast!

What do elves learn at school? The elf-a-bet!

P7 Christmas Treat

P7 had a great time watching Elf followed by lunch in Pizza Hut. Big thanks to all the parent helpers and the PTA for making today possible.
