Apple Tree Project

 

Jeremy was back in school with us on Monday 9th April, this time to plant some apple trees. The apple varieties are old ones which have died out in Armagh and which this project is hoping to reintroduce in the area. Jeremy showed us how to prepare the ground and plant a tree.

Trocaire Campaign 2018

 

Well done to those P5 pupils who brought in sponsor money for the Dancethon and helped to raise over £190 for Trocaire. Their generosity and kindness is much appreciated!

Dairy Council  Food and Fitness Visit

On the last week of term Amy and Bronagh from the Dairy Council visited our school to talk to the P5 and P6 classes about food and fitness. They talked about different food categories and why we need to eat foods from them. They got all the pupils up to do some fitness exercises and songs. Each child then received a booklet to help them understand how they can get the right balance of food and fitness. This all ties in nicely with the Healthy Kidz programme which is taking place in the school at present.

Roots of Empathy

 

Our programme started this year on Wednesday 24th Oct when Mr Lee told the P.5 class what they would be doing this year and then showed them photos of the baby who would be their 'teacher'. This year's baby is called Seth.

Seth has visited the class 4 times in term 2.  We have been discussing safety and communication in class and have asked Laura to tell us how she ensures Seth's safety at home, and to describe ways in which Seth communicates with her. We have been singing nursery rhymes to him and have made a nursery rhyme book for him. 
P5 had a visit from NI Water to discuss the uses of water in our lives and the importance of water for our health and well being. Each child in the class received their own water bottle.

Primary 5 kicked off the whole school assemblies for the new school year with an assembly on rules. They discussed where rules can be found in everyday life and why rules are important. They then shared the P5 Class Charter with the other classes, showing them the rules our class have decided on for this new school year.

As part of our technology in P.5 we have been learning how to connect things using butterfly pins. We cut out parts of a skeleton, then joined them together using these special pins. This meant that we could make the skeleton parts move.
