Today we showed our support to the Down Senior Football Team ahead of their Ulster Semi-Final clash against Armagh by wearing red and black to school. There was an exciting buzz in the classroom today as we learned about the history of the Down team, used our creativity to redesign the Down jersey and engaged in some Down GAA trivia to learn about their historical successes. Up Down!
Our brain break task today unlocked a world of creativity as we were tasked to use a single paper clip to make a picture. At first we were only allowed to use straight lines, circles and triangles to make our pictures until we progressed to having free reign to draw whatever we could think of. Miss Sweeney was blown away by the imagination and creativity shown by everyone and we made some very impressive pictures!
As our topic focus on Rainforests is coming to a close, we have used our knowledge about the various animals in the rainforest to create hybrid creatures. We explored elements of a range of animals that we liked and then we added our favourite features together to make weird yet wonderful new species. We will now begin writing non-chronological reports to provide more information about what makes each of these animals unique.
If by any chance you do see any of these animals in real life, we recommend that you run as fast and as far as you can!
