Welcome

✨ LSC Weekly Update ✨ 📚 Literacy We have been working on word building and exploring rhyming pairs. 🤖 ICT We enjoyed programming Bee-Bots and developing our ICT skills through presenting, making and sequencing top hats 🧁 🔢 Numeracy We practised counting using pancake toppings, explored doubling (ducks and multiples of 10), and worked on our 2 times tables using Numicon. 🌿 Outdoor Learning We investigated area by covering a surface outdoors, using practical, hands-on learning. 👏 A fantastic week full of fun and learning!

🌟 A Week of Wonders in P7M🌟 ✍️ Mythical Masterclass We went digital for an online creative writing session with Kevin Moran, the Irish author of ‘The Doomsday Club’. Kevin shared his top tips on cultivating novel ideas, with a special focus on bringing creatures and characters from Irish mythology to life. 🥐 A Sensory Trip to France Our Jumpstart writing took us on a trip to a picturesque French market. The children did a great job incorporating all five senses to create vivid, descriptive pieces that made us feel like we were really there (and very hungry for croissants!). 🧱 Numeracy Detectives We’ve been sharpening our logic and spatial awareness this week: • The ‘All Change’ Challenge: Developing problem-solving skills using visual diagrams. • Volume Investigation: We got hands-on with 3D shapes, discovering multiple ways to construct different structures while maintaining the same volume. 🐣 Springtime Buddies P7M showed great leadership during Buddy Time, helping our P1 friends with a cute Spring craft. It was a lovely way to help the younger pupils kick off their new topic, ‘Spring on the Farm’. 💭 Still I Rise We completed our third session of the Still I Rise program, focusing on the important topic of consent. We are incredibly proud of the children’s maturity, communication, and respectful participation in these workshops.

Our P6 netball team represented the school today at the local schools' Netball NI Blitz held in Down Leisure Centre. It was a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to test their skills in a fun, competitive environment with other local schools. A huge thank you to Netball Northern Ireland for organising such a great event!
