PRIMARY 5 ARE OFF TO CAMP
Today was an exciting day for our Primary 5s as we headed off on our very first camp trip! The buzz on the bus said it all — everyone was full of excitement and ready for adventure.
When we arrived, our first challenge was making our beds. There were a few tricky duvet covers to tackle, but with teamwork and determination, everyone rose to the occasion! After working up an appetite, we enjoyed lunch together before heading off for our afternoon activities.
In the afternoon, we took part in crate climbing and low ropes. Both activities encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and, most importantly, work together as a team. There was lots of cheering, encouragement and celebrating each other’s successes — fantastic teamwork all round!
After a well-earned dinner, we wrapped up the evening around the campfire. We sang songs, played games and toasted marshmallows while sharing plenty of laughs.
It was the perfect end to a brilliant first day, and everyone is looking forward to what tomorrow brings!

Primary 5 have had a busy and exciting start to the week!
On Monday and Tuesday, we began our STEM space project, focusing on improving our spatial reasoning skills. We took part in two fun, active and hands-on maths lessons where we explored axis, lines of symmetry and reflections.
In Religion, we learned about the Feast of St Brigid, which takes place on the 1st of February and links to Our Lady & St Brigid’s, our parish church. We then had a go at making St Brigid’s crosses, which proved trickier than we expected but very rewarding.
We also enjoyed movement breaks and outdoor learning with Ms Nelson.
In science, we investigated sinking and floating, using our reciprocal reading skill of predicting to think about what might happen to different objects before testing them out. We then recorded our answers on our worksheet.

This week has been full of wonderful learning experiences!
In literacy, the pupils explored stories through sensory activities and working on building their phonics skills using songs, visuals, and hands on resources. Everyone worked really hard on recognising sounds and practising blending at their own level.
In numeracy, we focused on practical, real – life maths. The children enjoyed counting activities, matching numbers, and exploring shapes through play based tasks. We used concrete materials and visual supports to help build confidence and independence.
We made great use of our outdoor learning session too with Ms. Nelson. The class loved exploring the school grounds, taking part in walks and engaging in activities that encouraged communication, teamwork, and problem solving. Being outside really supported regulation.
During P.E. we worked on gross motor skills, balance, and coordination through fun, structure games. The pupils enjoyed moving their bodies, practising taking turns and celebrating each others achievements.
We’re so proud of how well everyone engaged this week – lots of smiles, enthusiasm and great progress all round. 🙂
