Our trip to the Ulster American Folk Park
Last Friday P5&6 had a very exciting day as they headed off on a trip to the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh. 🚌🚌
This was part of their Shared Education topic "Linen". They thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
To start, they moved back in time to life when the linen industry was at its height, they explored the weavers cottage and spoke with the farmer who grows the flax seed. They even got to pull some.
Visiting the blacksmith was a highlight but for some they did not like the smell of the horse shoes. Seeing the little houses from the past with such delight on their faces, history came alive for them.
After a short visit to the groceries shop, they then made their journey to America on a rather cramped ship with plenty of rats.🛳️🛳️
While in America they visited the Mellon homestead and realised how life was very different when people survived the journey to the "new world".
An excellent trip had by all.

Finding the Perimeter & Area
Today we took our Numeracy outside. We have been learning all about the Perimeter and Area of shapes and how to find these. Today, armed with our trundle wheels, we set off outside to find the measurements of the classroom, playground, timber trail and PE shed. We had great fun working in our groups to measure and work out our calculations.
Check us out.
Ordering Numbers
Our first full day back to school and we were straight into our Numeracy lessons on numbers.
Today we got to order 3 and 4 digit numbers with some even exploring 5 and 6 digit numbers. We all worked in teams to order our number cards and create number lines and squares on the classroom floor. There was lots of numeracy chat, key words used and questions asked. Problem solving in action and respect for each others abilities was shown. Every listened actively and succeeded.
Well Done P5&6

Smoothie Friday
This term our topic is all about 'ourselves'. Last Friday during literacy we explored recipes and created our very own healthy 'Raspberry and Banana Smoothie'. It was very tasty. We each got to try it for break time and record our recipe. We thought about our command verbs and made sure we ordered our steps correctly.
