  • Christmas Pyjama Party

    Published 21/12/22

    To promote positive behaviour we work towards earning Dojo Points in our class. Each term we set ourselves a target of how many points we think we can achieve by working together as a class, and we choose a reward that we want to work towards getting. 

    Our Christmas Challenge was to raise enough points to earn a pyjama day, during which we could watch a film and enjoy hot chocolate / tea, biscuits and goodies.

    Needless to say the children surpassed all expectations and smashed their target and enjoyed a very well-earned reward.

  • Battle of the Bands TT Rockstars Competition

    Published 19/12/22

    Key Stage 2 classes engaged in a very tough Battle of the Bands competition, during which each class worked frantically on TT Rockstars to see who could showcase their times tables knowledge best and answer the most times tables questions accurately.

    It was an intense competition and more than 250,000 times tables questions were answers during the tournament. Although holding 1st position for much of the competition, we concluded in 3rd place, following very closely behind P6CM and P7AV. 

    Credit to our class who worked tirelessly to the end, determined to do P6SS proud.

  • Spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear!

    Published 16/12/22

    P6SS visited The Fold Nursing Home today to share Christmas cheer with the residents. 

    The children sang a range of Christmas carols and then Niall told jokes, Caragh played the piano and performed a jig, Chloe did some dancing and Amy played her violin. How lucky and proud is Miss Sweeney to have such a talented bunch of children. 

    It was a truly heartwarming morning shared with members of our community and the children made wonderful memories to treasure for a lifetime.

    Each year we have our Key Stage 2 Carol Service in the church, and we invite our families and friends to come along and enjoy watching us perform. P6 performed "Do you hear what I hear" and our voices filled the chapel with a sense of calm and wonder. We did ourselves very proud today! 
     

    Have a listen to a recording of P6 singing our song. We hope you enjoy the performance.

  • The best way to learn is to bake!

    Published 29/11/22

    Our writing focus for this term has been instructional writing. We have learned about imperative verbs and why they are necessary, particularly in pieces of instructional writing, e.g. recipes, instruction booklet, manuals etc. 

    We needed to put theory into practice, therefore we made top hats and wrote a piece of instructional writing to reflect the method we used. 

    Fortunately, our methodology was perfect and the top hats were even better!

  • The present of a presentation

    Published 21/11/22

    As a keen historian, Conor has been extremely enthusiastic about our World Around Us topic, 'The Vikings'. Conor decided he would love to impart his very impressive knowledge about the Vikings onto his classmates by creating a wonderful presentation filled with facts and quiz questions.

    As a class we thoroughly enjoyed Conor's presentation and were very proud of the standard of work he produced!

  • P6 Trip to Ballydugan Medieval Village

    Published 09/11/22

    To conclude their study of The Vikings, Primary 6 children enjoyed a brilliant day at Ballydugan Medieval Settlement yesterday.

    The children were brought to the Longhouse, where the Jarl greeted them and talked about Viking life.

    The children then rotated around a number of hands on activities and demonstrations related to Viking life.

    To conclude the trip, they witnessed a performance of fight techniques and battles skills, demonstrated by the warriors before partaking in a Viking battle drill, taking on the real Vikings in a shield wall battle formation.

  • Digital Art inspired by David Hockney and Pablo Picasso

    Published 30/09/22

    The children learned about their perception of self and how we all see ourselves in different ways.

    David Hockney's 'Joiner Photography' aimed to give his work a dynamic that is not always present in a single photograph. We studied intricate photo collages and how they encapsulate a range of expressions over time, yet are seen together in one image. We then learned about how Pablo Picasso depicted expression and emotion in his work with the use of colour line. 

    Inspired by the work of Hockney and Picasso, we created our own 'joiner' portraits before digitising them to reflect the work of Picasso. 

    The children's responses to this project were wonderful, drawing carefully upon the elements of both artists.

  • Recreating Roald Dahl book covers

    Published 28/09/22

    Improving our ICT skills is just one goal that we have in P6SS this year. We have been introduced to Abobe Express and we loved using to modernise and recreate digital book covers for some of our favourite Roald Dahl books. The children produced incredible master pieces. I think we may have many digital content creators of the future in our class.
