  • Celebrating World Autism Awareness Day

    Published 31/03/23

    Today we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day..

    We learned that the United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day to "highlight the need to help improve the quality of life of those with autism so people can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society." We learned about inclusion and how to be more kind and inclusive in our everyday lives, both in and out of the classroom and we discussed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 

    To celebrate as a school we had a colour party and our colour in P6SS was green. We all dressed in green and brought in green coloured snacks to enjoy. 

    In P6SS, we are proud to be different and proud of each other.

  • Progress Update: Rainforest Dioramas

    Published 27/03/23

    We are currently working in groups to produce dioramas of the four layers of the rainforest; the emergent, layer, canopy layer, the understory, and the forest floor.

    We have researched the vegetation, climatic conditions and animals that make up each layer, and now we are putting our knowledge into practise to bring the rainforest to our classroom. 

    Stay tuned for updates about our finished masterpieces!

  • Lá Glas: Primary 6 performance 'Shamrock Beat'

    Published 16/03/23

    To celebrate St Patrick our patron saint and as part of our Lá Glas celebrations, we performed 'Shamrock Beat' together with P6CM. Our goal was to try to get the whole school to dance with us and thankfully our camera lady captured us succeeding in doing so. The hall was bouncing as every class in the school joined us in dancing our hearts out. Well done Primary 6!

  • Full STEAM ahead with the Sphero Robots!

    Published 03/03/23

    We were very excited to get our hands on the brand new Sphero Robots today. 

    The Sphero programmable robots helped us to learn fundamental STEM concepts through play-based learning and group challenges. We had great fun familiarising ourselves with the Sphero app as we developed our spatial awareness and teamwork skills, while linking in with our Numeracy topic Time, to see who could record the fastest times moving the Sphero's around the obstacle courses.
