The boys and girls in rooms 13 and 14 received a delivery of yummy porridge and a variety of toppings this morning. We had the chance to try a pot of porridge along with the toppings of our choice. Tomorrow we will be taking part in a virtual field trip along with three other schools as part of the Tesco Farm to Fork programme. We will learn all about where oats come from and the process they go through to get to our homes.
Today Joe Bradley came to our school and taught us some more Gaelic football. We had lots of fun playing a game!
The children in Room 14 have made puppets with moveable parts, inspired by their novel study “War Horse” by Michael Morpurgo.
Today we learned how to use a protractor to measure angles. We have a video and pictures to show how we did it.
Today, the children in Rooms 13 and 14 made radio and TV adverts for their new Rainforest Theme Parks. Have a look at some of their videos.

We made radio adverts to advertise the opening of our Rainforest theme parks.
As part of work on compass points, we were also learning how to draw maps. We were given the compass point location of various places in the town. We had to use this information to draw maps of the town with the different buildings in the correct locations.
We had to place the school in the centre of the town with a park and college to the east. South east of the school, we had to put a garage and there had to be a farm and hospital to the north east. There is a church in the west of the town, with a restaurant and lake to the north west and shops and a car park to the south west. We had to put a swimming pool in the south and a train station in the north of the town.
Here are some of our maps. Have a look and see how well we managed.
We have been learning about how plants adapt to their surroundings and have made comic strips about it.
This week Primary 6/7Â and Primary 7 have been learning about compass points. We learned to work out the location of different places and to describe their locations using compass points.
Today we were out in the yard using chalk to draw 8 point compass roses on the ground. Then we worked out the location of different places in our local area and we marked them on our compasses.
