Today a lady came from Summerlee to speak to rooms 12, 13 and 14 on the dangers of alcohol. We took part in drama activities showing what would happen if we drank too much. Here is the video.

We also got to try on beer goggles and see how difficult it was to walk in a straight line and kick a ball when you’ve had too much alcohol.

The children in Rooms 12, 13 and 14 are learning all about electricity and have been carrying out various activities to make and measure electricity.

Last week, a member of the fire brigade came into school to teach us all about fire safety.

This is the kick of to our new interdisciplinary topic on the Victorians.

The boys and girls in St Patrick’s had the chance to try out the MAC Assault course. Everyone had lots of fun completing the course.

Today the children in Rooms 13 and 14 took part in an online field trip as part of the Tesco Farm to Fork programme. We had a few technical hitches because we were unable to view it on the smart board, but we could see it via a tablet.

We had the chance to see inside a working mill and we found out all about how oats are harvested to produce porridge. We took part in  this field trip with three other schools from across Great Britain. We really showed how we can communicate with others within and beyond our place of learning!

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!
