  • Our Visit to the Library

    Published 22/03/24

    Today we visited our local library here in Downpatrick. While some of us make regular use of this facility, we all learnt how invaluable this resource is. We first met with the lovely librarian who told us all about the purpose of a library and we were excited to learn that you can get more than just books here - you can get audiobooks, Microbits and attend the Chess Club. We were also very fortunate to have a tour of the archive collection and learn about the history of Downpatrick.

  • Celebrating World Down Sydrome Day

    Published 21/03/24

    Today we wore odd socks to school to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day- a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. As a school we chose to wear odd socks to start conversations; when people ask why we're wearing odd socks we can discuss Down Syndrome confidently. In class our focus today was to learn about Down Syndrome and how we can promote inclusion both in school and in wider communities.

  • Cricket Tournament

    Published 19/03/24

    All of our Primary 6 children were very lucky to have had cricket coaching in Term 1 led by coaches from the Northern Knights. 

    We used our time with the coaches to understand the rules of cricket and then develop our skills in fielding and batting. 

    To showcase our skills, we were invited to participate in an indoor cricket festival coordinated by the Northern Ireland Cricket Union. 

    We were able to bring two teams and both enjoyed their games, proving confident and motivated against some very talented teams.

  • Volcanic Eruption Experiment

    Published 09/03/24

    Our World Around Us topic focus has been on Natural Disasters and we had an exciting end to our learning about volcanoes. We love practical learning in P6SS and while we thought we wouldn't get to experience a volcanic eruption in real life, Jake brought one to us. Jake used bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create an explosion in his man-made volcano. We had all of the safety equipment at the ready and thankfully we all survived this natural disaster!
