Month: February 2020

In preparation for the Euro Quiz, we had a practice quiz in class. I was very impressed by Primary 6’s enthusiasm and knowledge which they demonstrated during the quiz. We have been focusing our studying on capital cities, famous landmarks and the shape and position of countries on a map. Well done to all. It was a very close call. Our winners Sophie and Oscar will represent St. Mark’s at the Euro Quiz.

On Thursday before the February weekend, Primary 6 participated in a handball tournament which took place in St. Luke’s High School. The event was organised as a cluster transition event in which all the Primary 6’s in the St. Luke’s cluster took part. This was a great opportunity for children to integrate and get to know children from St. John’s and St. Thomas’ Primary who they will join in high school. Our childrens behaviour and participation in the games was excellent. A great time was had by all.

Our science topic this term is electricity. The children have enjoyed learning about the components  which make up an electrical circuit. We have also had practice drawing circuit diagrams using the correct symbols and terminology. This week the children had the chance to experiement creating a circuit by using a Lemmon battery. A couple of groups managed to make a buzzer ring by using the lemon to generate electricity. 🍋💡
