P6
Chapter P6: The day the characters came to life
If you walked into the P6 classroom today, you might have thought you’d accidentally stepped into a portal to another world! To celebrate World Book Day, our pupils ditched their school uniforms and transformed into an incredible cast of heroes, villains, and adventurers.
The effort put into these costumes was truly “novel”!
P6 go full Viking
The sounds of battle axes and dragon-headed longships have filled our classrooms this week as P6 fully embraced their inner Norse warriors. As part of our Viking Topic, we took a break from the history books to get hands-on with some serious shield-making!
Forget cardboard and glue—for a moment, the P6 classroom felt like a bustling workshop in 10th-century Scandinavia.
P6 are Putting their best foot forward
If you’ve heard some rhythmic thumping and energetic cheering coming from the hall this week, don’t worry—it’s just our P6 superstars mastering the art of Scottish Country Dancing!
We are thrilled to welcome our fantastic guest tutor, Ruth, who has been putting the classes through their paces. The energy levels have been through the roof.
P6 are making a splash at Omagh Leisure Centre
Our P6 pupils have traded their school shoes for goggles and swim caps as they dive into their weekly swimming lessons at Omagh Leisure Centre!
Whether they are seasoned swimmers or just getting their feet wet, everyone has been diving into the deep end (metaphorically!) with a fantastic “can-do” attitude. It’s been a joy to see the progress being made each week.
Mental Maths Mayhem - Spring
Shared Ed Science fun
Back in time for P6 at the Folk Park
We had a fantastic day at the folk park learning about what life used to be like and enjoyed seeing the different houses people lived in. We emigrated all the way to America on the ship and found out what life would have been like on the ship. When we landed in America we saw things such as pumpkins and turkey which would have been a huge surprise to those who emigrated. P6 love animals and the turkey and the donkey were firm favourites. Several members of staff at the folk park commented on how well behaved and engaged they were, well done P6!
Mental Maths Mayhem
To keep our mental maths skills sharp we played a variety of games including board games, Times Tables Rockstars and Hit the Button. We are so competitive and loved trying to be the fastest table! Keep up the good work P6.
Keeping Healthy
Nicola from the IFA has been teaching us how to stay healthy as part of the Safe Food programme. We have learnt all about hydration, sleep, screen time, physical activity and nutrition including the Eatwell plate. We loved getting the opportunity to play some football too!
Volcano Fun
P6 pupils had a great time creating their own volcanoes. They used a plastic bottle as a base and added Paper Mache to build it up into the shape of a volcano. Once the shape was formed they used their artistic skills to paint realistic lava dripping down the sides. Finally P6 used vinegar, baking soda, food colouring and fairy liquid to make their volcanoes explode!
Shared Education w5 trip
We had a great day at W5 in Belfast with our friends from Roscavey Primary School and St Colmcilles Primary School. We worked together in groups to code Microbits and Sphero Indis. It was so much fun, we love using technology!
