Practising giving change can be so much fun!

It’s great to see everyone using items to help their learning.

We have been chatting about what makes a good learner and P3 came up with these ideas.

Can you think of any more ideas?

We have put together all our learning about materials to build a shelter for a toy and today we started this project.

We had to make a base and then choose materials for supports. Wooden sticks, plastic straws and paper or card cylinders were selected.

Then after careful consideration we chose a material for the roof, which was strong and waterproof. We discussed how to fix this on. Mrs Taylor was delighted to see different strategies being used, co-operation between friends and perseverance. Some of our toys are loving these shelters already. We will add more to them next week.

We pretended we were reporting on the Ascension and interviewing the disciples.

The disciples gave interesting views…many were shocked, amazed and puzzled.

On our journey to the library we took photos of how materials fit together.

We then tried to recreate these joins in school.

Bradley enjoyed showing us his Boy’s Brigade award.

We were very interested and asked Bradley all about the Boy’s Brigade.

How energetic we were! Today we enjoyed basketball, parachute games, gaelic football, dancing, walking, hockey, table tennis and football.

We all enjoyed a visit to Menzieshill library last week to exchange our books. Please remember you may return your book at anytime, just give your name and class.

When we were in the ICT suite, we enjoyed playing these games to reinforce class learning, and saved them as favourites so we could find them easily again.

Here are the addresses, so you can play them at home if you would like to:
