It was a great day in P6CM on European Day of Languages. The pupils dressed in the colours of Italy and discovered a bit more about the country, its language and its food. A busy day for the class as they also took responsibility for the tuck shop and did a fantastic job.
Well done everyone.
A huge thank you to Eimear from Golf Ireland who delivered a golf workshop for P6 and P7 today. The children had the opportunity to develop their skills in a fun and practical session.
Making the most of the good weather, P6CM took the learning outside to estimate and measure just how long the Viking Longships were. After estimating the length, they used trundle wheels and metre sticks to accurately measure out the longship. Obviously, the best bit was sitting in and rowing their ships.

Measuring
And the best bit!
We have been revising the properties of 2D shapes looking at names, sides, angles and symmetry. The children worked hard to investigate the properties and then worked collaboratively on puzzles and practical tasks to consolidate their learning.
P6CM have been investigating angles. They named the different types of angles and went on an angle search around the school taking photos. The photos were collated into Pic Collages. They went on to participate in a carousel of activities which involved labelling, sorting and measuring with a protractor.
Making the most of the sunshine, some of the pupils had the chance to go outside and use our new outdoor classroom. We have been looking at converting units of measurement, so we headed outside with our rulers, metre sticks and trundle wheels to put our learning into practice.
P6 enjoyed a visit from Allan from 'Wee Critters' on Tuesday 9th May. The pupils interacted with a variety of animals including a cockroach, snake and parrots. The visit was both entertaining and informative.
P6CM have been revising the identification and naming of angles. No better way to learn, than getting out and about identifying angles within our school environment.
P6CM celebrated Science Week 2023 by conducting a number of experiments and investigations.
P6CM were busy celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March. They wrote collaborative adventure stories, discussed their favourite books and created a charter on the rights of the reader, creating posters on the iPad to illustrate them.
