We are coming to the end of our  second full week as the new P7’s. We are enjoying getting into a new routine and taking on some of the responsibilities of a P7 pupil, for example, corridor monitoring, P1 buddies and writing our speeches for the Captain roles. We have not stopped since we returned this term and are looking forward to  Dolphin House next week!

We were lucky to have a lot of parents come and visit us during the open afternoon. Miss Gunning had set us an ‘EGGCITING’ challenge where we had to work in pairs to design a contraption that would allow an egg to be dropped from a height without it cracking or breaking. It was brilliant! Some of our parents give us hints and tips and some parents were blown away by our ideas. There were two rounds in the competition to test each contraption. Miss Gunning dropped it from her shoulder height on to the black bag landing area in the playground, if the egg remained undamaged then it moved into the second round. The second round involved Mr Hardy dropping the egg from a higher height (his head). We found it tense but hilarious. Check out the photos of our completed contraptions below. A massive congratulations to Orla and Adam, our overall winners 😀
