This week has been short and sweet but we have still managed to squeeze in a lot of learning!
On Wednesday we learned about the life of Mother Teresa who was recently canonized as a Saint. We then used our knowledge to write a biography of her life and illustrated this with a story board to show some images of the main events. On Wednesday it was also International Day of Peace which linked really well with Mother Teresa as peace was one of her aims. To celebrate International Day of Peace we did some activities including making a collage of a peace sign, researching what the UN do, a peace breathing mindfulness activity and finally we watched a video which had a really good rap in it! You should watch it too:

On Thursday we celebrated our recent achievements at our monthly achievement assembly. It was great to see what everyone has been getting up to across our school! After the assembly we went to the infant hall to help P1M at their structured play stations. We had lots of fun and can’t wait to do it again! Check out our photos to see what we got up to.
Today we had fun meeting new people and planning our learning for the year in our committees. Keep a look out for lots of exciting things coming up linked to committees throughout the year. Finally, we enjoyed our second swimming session at James Young High School with Mr McCurdy. We focused on building up our fitness in the water by repetitive lengths and also practiced our floating skills!
Have a good weekend!
