Armagh County Museum
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.

Accelerated Reader Stars
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!
Smoothies
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.

WW2 Day
On Tuesday 19th, to finish our WW2 topic we had a special WW2 themed day. All pupils came to school dressed in period costume and many had created their own identification cards and gas mask boxes. They all looked the part.
We had a brilliant day from start to finish, we baked War Time Carrot Cookies, learnt the Lambeth Walk, took part in a science experiment testing the best materials for blackout curtains and also we had a surprise air raid alarm.
Great fun was had by all and we each thoroughly enjoyed this World Around Us Topic.
Rounding
This week we have been reviewing Rounding numbers. We have loved playing the practical rounding games in pairs. This has really helped us to focus on the numbers but also added some healthy competition!
