Our pupils have had a busy last week of term!

The pupils have been learning to use visualisation to help them understand a text. All pupils found quotes from our recently completed class novel ‘The Butterfly Lion’. They then used these quotes to help them create a visual of the Butterfly Lion in our playground.

The pupils have been learning to link multiplication and division through the use of fact families.

The pupils have been learning to count from 0-20 in French. To practice our accents and reinforce our knowledge we played some games.

As pupils have reached 5,000 class points we are having a ‘Yes Day’ which all pupils are enjoying.

Happy Easter!

A big congratulations to Miss Higgins who passed her final 4th year crit this week! Miss Higgins will now go on to be a fully qualified teacher after the summer holidays.

All pupils will also be going home with a new book today.

A big thank you to the library committee for organising some amazing activities today!
