K’nex Competition
Nathan and Rebecca travelled to the final of the K’nex Competition at South Lake Leisure Centre, Craigavon.
They were up against 25 other schools and their task was to design and create a ferris wheel. They came 7th overall. Brilliant work!
To finish the day we got to enjoy a Science Show.
Primary 7’s had a fantastic day at Colin Glen Activity Centre. We went on the Bull Run through the forest and then the zip line through the trees! It was lovely catching up with last years Primary 7’s!
Feel Good Friday
Today, Tom came in to celebrate his first birthday with us! What a special treat!
On Wednesday 15th March, 4 Primary 7’s took part in the K’nex Competition at the Royal School Armagh.
Their task was to design and construct playground equipment with at least one piece being able to rotate or move.
Jack and Lily put together a fantastic football pitch, swing set and roundabout.
Nathan and Rebecca made a wonderful climbing frame set with attached slide and roundabout.
Both teams were brilliant and Nathan and Rebecca scored second highest and will go on to represent school in the final competition! Well done to you all!
Waste Week
On Wednesday 8th March, Noel from Arc 21 talked about how we can recycle our waste. He brought in a 'Bag for Life', a pen, a cuddly toy, children's plastic toys, jigsaws which have been all recycled. We made badges and a bookmark from waste paper. It was a great morning.
World Book Day 2023
On Thursday 2nd March, we celebrated World Book Day. We brought in our homework which were our illustrations from a favourite book. The teacher displayed the illustrations and the we had to guess which book they came from. The teacher was very impressed with our creativity and drawing skills.
Next, we swapped books and were given a little time to read our new book.
We watched a programme on BBC Teach which celebrated World Book Day and this year, it had the theme of encouraging us to rewrite a familiar story but then add our own twist.
Finally we listened to the introduction of a new book by Lenny Henry "Book of Legends" - one of the highlighted authors for World Book Day 2023
We listened to Mrs Miskelly's favourite children's poem by Michael Rosen - "Chocolate Cake". It was very funny!
Pancake Tuesday- Yummy! Is one pancake ever enough?
We had loads of fun completing our Santa Daily Mile. We dressed for the part!!
