P4-5 thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Folk Park and seeing what life was like 125 years ago. We found the local history very interesting, especially the schoolhouse, where we practiced our tables on slates! All of us agreed that we are glad there is no cane now! It was particularly special to visit the Folk Park this term as our school is celebrating its 125th anniversary.
P4-5 visited the forest to hear about the McClintock family. We especially loved hearing the story about The White Lady. Mr Dennison made the story very scary and interesting! We wondered did this really happen?
The theme for Friendship Week this year was ‘The Power of Good’. We engaged in lots of class discussions to decide on what we would do to use our power of good in various situations. Mrs Foster challenged us to use our power of good to help others, she was delighted to see all our kind actions! Wearing odd socks helped us remember that we are all different and unique, something we should be proud of!
It was great to work with others in our Shared Education partnership to create a ‘Friendship blanket’. We enjoy making friends from other schools too.
Mental Maths Mayhem is so much fun! We worked in groups on various activities and games. A favourite with the class was the game ‘100’, they particularly loved the competitive nature of the game. P4-5 also had the opportunity to practise their problem-solving skills through a very interesting challenge called ‘Magic squares’.
P4-5 have been enjoying active sessions with Nicola from the IFA. We have been learning lots of different ways that we can keep our bodies healthy. Did you know that you should have at least 10 hours sleep every night? Every session ends with some football practice, which has been great at developing our ability to work as a team!
Pupils from Roscavey, McClintock and St. Colmcille’s travelled to Roscavey where they explored what makes a good friend.
One of the activities was that each pupil coloured a mosaic square that was joined together to make a beautiful blanket.
Thank to Mrs McPhillips from Roscavey PS who led this activity with the help of staff from the three partner schools.
