This week we have been speaking about technology for our Future Topic. We all had a turn of making Dot and Dash (our programmable toys) move and make sounds using an app on the ipad.

Students looked at various sign language this month and then created the symbol for ‘love’ with their own hands and some paint for Valentine’s day! It was great to see their creativity come out !!

Our children watched a theatre production called “Hope” on Thursday afternoon. The show was all about dealing with conflict and how people can be forgiven for their actions. They were so inspired that they wrote their own scenes, raps and songs( in their free time) and performed them for the rest of the class.

This week may have been short but we’ve had lots of fun!

On Thursday we made beautiful Mardi Gras masks with Miss Dezell using lovely gems and shiny paper, we were very excited to take them home today.

We started to talk about our new topic – The Future! We all had some great ideas about what we would like to learn about and were thinking about robots a lot! Someone mentioned that they wanted a robot that would tidy their room for them, don’t we all?!

We were very lucky to learn about St. David’s day at the P5/6 assembly today, we thought their dancing was excellent!

Looking in to next week, we have our trip to Belmont Picture House on Wednesday, we can’t wait!

Have a lovely weekend!

Outdoor Learning started this week for P1/2 on a Thursday afternoon. We were lucky with the weather and the children really enjoyed themselves.

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 were visited by the Countryside Classroom on Wheels this week. We learned lots about the agriculture industry and where some of our food comes from.

P1 and P1/2 had a visit, this week, from a fire crew with their fire engine. The children got to look around the fire engine and even climb up and have a seat in it! Some wanted to try on the fire fighting outfits they brought with them.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of primary 2! We had a nice day thinking about the people we love and creating some beautiful cards!

We also had a great time watching the afternoon nursery at assembly, I think we’ll be singing the pancake song for a while!

We finished the week in our favourite way, with a little dressing up and some arts and crafts!

Enjoy the break 😁

Primary 1 have been exploring tally marks this week. We have enjoyed using our new skills to take surveys in and around our school.
