Healthy Lunchbox Competition!
The school has been looking at healthy eating and we were looking at what a healthy lunchbox might look like! Ms Buggie had a fantastic idea to run a competition to encourage all the children and staff to think about healthy lunches. The children had a few weeks to design and enter their idea of what a healthy lunch would look like. Last Wednesday on St. Valentine’s Day our winner was picked. Ms Buggie and her independent judges were torn over the entries, and 10 very lucky children were picked. Congratulations all and well done to everyone who entered.

Future scientists in the senior room!
5th and 6th Class turned on their science brains this week as they were learning all about matter. They learned about the properties and particles of liquids, solids and gases.

Lego Showcase.
Our 1st class, 2nd class, 5th class, and 6th class have been taking part in a Lego hour once a week since September. Each week they were given a theme that linked with what they were working on in the classroom and they had to create something using the Lego based on that theme!
Miss Fitzgerald and Miss Grant were amazed and proud of what their classes produced and they thought it would be a good idea to show the rest of the school their hard work. The children were given the theme of Halloween and they had to create a haunted house/house to show the school. They worked very hard in their groups and were delighted at assembly on Friday to show their creations!
Each group had a chance to explain what they made and answer a few questions based on it. The 5th and 6th class were very patient and helpful with the 1st and 2nd class as they wrote their script and helped them to read it.
It was a fantastic few weeks of creativity and fun!
