As part of our Space topic, P5 went to Armagh Planetarium. This fantastic trip, right on our door step, had so much to offer the boys and girls. We started in the dome room and were blasted into space, we took a tour of the moon and then on to each planet. The imagery was fascinating, the questions and facts explored were out of this world.
Next we moved on to the engine room and created our very own rockets, after this we were free to explore the exhibitions. The pupils had many highlights from the trip, from creating black holes in the interactive playground to watching their rockets fly into space.
A fantastic trip had by all.

Today - Thursday 10th October is World Mental Health Day. With the help of Gary from Core NI, primary 5 took part in a live lesson all to do with keeping fit, staying active and looking after our Mental Health. It was a fun filled 30minutes workout for all.

Our World Around Us topic this half term is all about 'Rainforests'. On Friday we used Just2easy, Jit5 to create a piece of art depicting the Rainforest. We then took our own photograph and hid ourselves among the trees and animals.
These beautiful creations are now on display in our classroom and we are having fun trying to find each other hiding in our rainforests.
Today P5 took learning outdoors. We used all our knowledge of numbers we have been learning over the past month and went out on this beautiful Autumn day to find some numbers. Mrs Ewart hid them all over the playground, we had a challenging job finding them. Once we found them, we had to record them in the correct box on our clipboard sheet. We had to sort them from largest to smallest, find the multiples of 10, sort them into odd and even and we even had to round them to the nearest 10. It was lots of fun and we were so engaged in our activity.
Check us out as we searched all around.
It was great today to get out and have our PE lesson in the sun. We have recently purchased a new PE Scheme, CORE NI. Primary 5 loved the activities and had lots of fun.
This week we celebrated Anti Bullying Week 2024. We took part in a live lesson with the BBC. This years theme was 'We choose Respect'. We had great fun completing all the activities and creating fantastic Acrostic Poems with the word Respect.
Check us out at work and our socks. 🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦
As part of our World Around Us topic we have been creating Rainforest Art. Last week we created these Rainforest scenes using oil pastels. We enjoyed smudging, and adding texture with this medium. We think we have created pretty class masterpieces.
Check us out.
On Friday we decided to create a Rainforest in a jar. We used old glass jars, soil, a few pebbles and stones and planted some seeds. We are eagerly watching to see if anything will grow. We also can't wait to see the water cycle in the jar, the water (liquid) changing to gas (water vapour) and how it never will disappear. We are learning in action and having fun as we bring the Rainforest to life in the classroom.
Check out our photos of us at work and check back soon to see if they are growing.
Over the past few days, P5 have been exploring numbers. We have been working with thousands, hundreds, tens and units. We have been able to create numbers using our Base 10 resources and also drawing these to represent our numbers.
