Today Primaries 2 and 2/1 had a 1970’s disco to mark the end of their topic! Even Mrs Brown joined in with our disco and showed us her moves. We were all dressed up and we looked FANTASTIC! 

Lucas- We used lots of different dancemoves from the 1970s.

Emily- We played the corners game with a disco ball, flares, platforms and a record.

Adam- We played 1970s musical statues.

Ciaran- We did interesting dance moves from the 1970s!

Connor C- We had party snacks and juice.

We would like to share everything we have learned about the 1970s:

Matthew- We learnt that the first video game ever invented was called Pong.

Justin- People wore platforms and flares.

Harry- The names of the ABBA members are Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid and Agnetha.

Zac- We know that Camberwick Green and The Wombles are 1970s children’s T.V programmes.

Neve W- We learnt the dance from Saturday Night Fever.

Kaylan- John Travolta is the star!

Aoibhe- You can change the record player to different speeds. You can set it very fast and the voices sound funny and squeaky. When you set it very slow, the voices slow time and it takes a long time for the record to finish.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Hesketh. She brought in lots of different things from the 1970s including a record player, 1970s toys, Camberwick Green discs, lots of records, a disco ball and books from the 1970s.

We also want to thank all the mums, dads, grannies and grandads for helping us look super for our disco and for handing in 1970s memorabilia.

Mrs Dymock and Mrs Gibson

Cerys has achieved the next level in her Swimming lessons! Isn’t she a star? A huge well done from all the boys and girls.

Mrs Gibson

Primaries 2 and 2/1 were very lucky today! Mrs Hesketh was born in 1970. She brought in a record player and all her favourite records from when she was a little girl. We learned lots of new facts about our topic.

Mirin- You have to hold the records really carefully or they will get scratched. If they get scratched, they jump all over the place and we can’t hear them properly.

Aoibhe- We learned that it’s not just music. We can listen to stories too. Mrs Hesketh brought in the Peter Pan story for us to listen to.

Matthew, Christy- We listened to the Carpenters.

Adam- When Mrs Hesketh set the record player to 78, it was really funny. The voices were very fast and squeaky.

Cerys and Mrs Hesketh both brought in a disco ball! We decided to put out the lights, switched these on and dance to the records. We tried to dance like they did in the 1970s, with lots of special moves!

Yesterday, as part of our science topic ‘Living Things’, Primaries 2 and 2/1 learned about seeds and plants.  We know that plants, fruit and vegetables come from seeds.  We then planted our very own sunflower seeds which we will take home after they have grown a little.

Today in literacy we wrote instructions explaining how we did this and tomorrow we are going to be learning about the different parts of a plant and what they are for.

We know that a plant needs water and sunshine to grow.

We will post some pictures once we start to see some growth.  We hope our green fingers encourage them to grow!

A big thankyou to Michael Brennan who came into school today to give us a presentation about how our money will help the hospital in Ghana. He was very grateful of our donation.
