  • P6 Visit the Museum

    Published 16/12/25

    Primary 6 enjoyed an engaging trip to the Down County Museum enhancing their understanding of the Famine through historical artefacts and learning about the gaol, Victorian living conditions, roles, responsibilities and punishments. 

     

    The excursion also included a walking tour of English Street and exploring the history of the Cathedral - did you know that historical reports suggest an Earthquake in Downpatrick caused the roof of the Cathedral to cave in?! 🤯

    Primary 6 Trip to Dream Space at W5 Belfast 🖥️ 

    Our Primary 6 pupils had a fantastic day at Dream Space in W5 Belfast, filled with exciting STEM challenges and plenty of fun!

    In the first session, the pupils worked in teams to build the tallest possible free-standing skyscraper using only paper, straws, and cellotape. It seemed straightforward — until their towers had to withstand the power of an earthquake! Congratulations to Caoimhe, Clíodhna, Emily, Emily, and Ziva from P6SS, who built the winning structure. 🏆 

    During the second session, the pupils explored coding with Micro:bits, learning how to create flashing light sequences and even program their own rock, paper, scissors generators.

    Despite the rainy weather, it was a brilliant day of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork! 🌧️🏗️💡

  • Look In

    Published 10/11/25

    🔍 Let’s look into: P6CM 🔎

    P6CM are off to a flying start this half term! 

    From history to mindfulness, it's been a jam-packed few weeks:

    🌏 In WAU, pupils explored Ireland during The Famine with a brilliant online workshop led by Dr Hannah Gibson from Omagh Folk Museum—complete with real artefacts and even the smell of rotting potatoes! 🥔😷

    ✍️ In Literacy, they've been mastering adverbs and diving into procedural writing, identifying key features like pros!

    ✖️➗Maths has been all about speed and accuracy with times tables via TTRockstars, now powering up their written and mental calculation skills! ⚡🧠

    🌸 In Religion, creativity bloomed as the class made beautiful flowers for our Garden of Remembrance display, to remember our loved ones who have died.

    🧘‍♂️ And we’ve just launched the Aware NI Paws B Mindfulness programme—a 6-week journey into calm, focus, and wellbeing.

  • Natural Disasters

    Published 24/10/25

    To complete their Natural Disasters topic, P6CM investigated earthquakes looking at their causes and impact. They discovered that engineers are now designing buildings that can withstand an earthquake.  The pupils then worked in small teams to see if they could design their own structure. There was lots of collaboration, discussion and evaluation going on as many different designs were tried. Finally, their structures were tested on jelly to see if they would collapse. There are definitely some future engineers in this class as some very solid structures were created. The children also learnt how to react in class if an earthquake strikes, by participating in an earthquake drill. Well done P6CM.

  • Maths Week

    Published 17/10/25

    P6CM had lots of fun this week celebrating Maths Week. The children really enjoyed designing and making maths games for the P3 children and loved the opportunity to play the games with the P3 classes on Thursday. The mild weather this week gave us the opportunity to take our problem solving skills outside and investigate numbers within our environment, lots of mental maths skills were required. The highlight for the class was having the students from Lecale Trinity Grammar in for a maths workshop. Many areas of the maths curriculum were investigated in a fun, engaging way.
