We hope you like our Christmas Art? Especially our Christmas tree! 

We went to Stranmillis University Colleges’Panto. It was Aladdin. 

All the staff were terrific! Thank you for helping us! 

We really enjoyed the show and meeting the stars afterwards! 

Thank you to Gala from  Ulster Wildlife for visiting P5. We went outside and collected leaves and did leaf rubbings. 

We came inside and looked at different birds, animals and leaves. We then planted spring bulbs. 

We were very lucky to have such a great team from BT come to volunteer in our school sensory garden last week.

They pruned overgrown hedges, washed windows, scrubbed algae from walls, cleared moss from paths and lifted up a mountain of leaves.

We are so very grateful for the time and energy that they have invested in our school.

If you would like to volunteer to help us keep on top of the maintenance of this valuable resource, please get in touch.

Last half term our topic was Food for Thought. We didn’t get to the farm then but hurray we got today. 

We loved the soft play area, the farm animals and the cuddle animals. 

We took part in the Toothbrush Challenge. We stained our teeth and then brushed them to look for plaque build up! 

We sang this is the way we brush our teeth as we cleaned the giant set of teeth. We enjoyed using the mirrors. 

A huge thank you to the InvestNI team of volunteers who came to school yesterday to tidy our sensory garden.

The team, facilitated by Business in the Community, helped clear moss of paths, prune the willow arch, weed, deep clean our greenhouse and much more.

Without volunteer teams like this freely giving their time, there is no way at all we could maintain such a valuable outdoor resource for our school.

Thanks Again

Mr Maxwell

As part of our Food for Thought topic P5 visited Malone House. We are learning about how food gets to our table. So we tasted some of the tastier treats that are made from wheat.

We also looked at the changes in the park. We saw the changes in the trees, pine cones and conkers.

The Parliament Buildings Beekeepers came to school and told us all about saving bees and beekeeping. 

They showed us their hive, beeswax and best of all their honey. We sold the honey at The McMillan Coffee Morning. 

In P5 we made smoothies with Mrs Carberry.
