Model Building
As our current topic is ‘Inventions and Inventors’ we have been learning about the Wright brothers and the creation of the first plane. We have built our own models and painted them! They look great!
Literacy Week - Library visit
Today we visited, the newly refurbished library. We looked at fiction and non fiction books. We put authors names in alphabetical order. We all got to borrow a book to bring back to school.
World Book Day
Today we came to school dressed up as a book character. We look amazing!
Practical Maths - Area - using non standard units,
Today we had maths stations placed around the room. The children had to work out the area of different shapes using non standard units such as post it notes, cubes, units and counters. We also worked out the area of our hand. We found out whose hand had the greatest area. We had a busy morning!
Christmas in the Past
Today we went to Newry and Mourne Museum to complete a workshop on Christmas in the past. We learnt so much and got to play with toys from the past. We finished our visit by making Christmas decorations.
3D Shape Fun
This week our focus was 3D shapes. We had to make 3D shapes, identify properties, sort and name 3D shapes. Look at those happy faces learning!
Today we were exploring household items that were used in the past. We had many giggles at what some people thought the items were. After we went up to our school museum to look at lots of items from the Mill, WW1 and WW2.
Today we went for a walk around Bessbrook. Mrs Laverty was the tour guide and told us lots of information about Bessbrook in the past. We took photos of familiar places in Bessbrook and wrote on what they used to be.
In I.C.T we have been typing a poem about ‘Back to School’ on the laptops. We also had great fun using and exploring on google maps, on the iPads, to explore Bessbrook. Some people even found their house!
In art we have been looking at the work of Paul Horton. An artist from Birmingham. He often has heart smoke or clouds in his pictures as he loves his home and feels safe there. Our imitations are going to look great when they are finished!
