On Tuesday 30th January as part of our World War 2 topic, P5&6 went to Armagh County Museum.  Here our guide Sarah presented us with a very informative program all about WW2.  

At the start we had some objects to explore, a wireless, bell, blackout curtains, ration book, scales and identity card.  We learnt about each of these along with trying on some gas masks, listening to sirens and exploring an evacuee suitcase. 

We then had the opportunity to create our own gas masks.  This was very fun.

To end our trip we completed the Daily Mile on the mall in the lovely sunshine.   

Check us out! 👀👀

 

 

 

Well done to Archie, Ella and Katy who have read 250K words on the Accelerated Reader program. What a great achievement, now aiming for 500k!

 

 

 

 

As part of the World Around Us topic of 'Ourselves', on Friday we thought about healthy smoothie recipes in Literacy.  We started by watching a video all about instructional texts, what they are and how we write these.  We then made a delicious Raspberry and Banana smoothie.  We then created steps and wrote our own recipes using all the information we learnt about these types of written texts.

Everyone agreed the smoothies went down a treat for a healthy breaktime snack.
