A lot of work and commitment has been shown by the girls during lunchtimes to practice and they did so well to perform in front of so many people 👏🙌

Image result for assembly clipartWelcome back to Deerpark Primary School and our final term of this session. It is great to see everyone after our two week break.

We talked about our special visitors coming into school next week to see what it is in Deerpark Primary School. Our visitors will be visiting classes and meeting with children, parents and staff throughout the week.

Primary 1W talked about their exciting afternoon yesterday experimenting and playing with the milk crates as part of our new loose parts play equipment. Jake E and Connor were able to explain that they used the crates to stand on and try to reach the branches of the trees. Ross explained that he worked with others to build a den for Rosie the cat. Mrs Bernard explained that sadly we had to buy anti-vandal paint to protect the storage shed from people climbing and standing on the roof. It is already buckled but we are hopeful that the anti-vandal paint will help prevent this from happening again.

Welcome back and Happy New Year to you all.

 

This is going to be a very busy term with lots of fun learning taking place. Some of the classes were able to share their contexts for learning during our assembly.

Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 will be developing enterprise and skills for life through Mycro Tyco.
Primary 4 are learning about being Fit for Life and Primary 3 are learning about water, capacity and science topics.

Primary 1R, 1W and 2 have yet to share their contexts for learning. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it.
