Some of our P4 - P7 children have been enjoying Scripture Union at lunchtime, over the past few weeks. Thanks to Bob, Hazel, Laura and Lorna for taking time to prepare and deliver the Bible lessons and activities each week.
Following on from the three joint Art sessions which our P3 and P4 children have had with P3 pupils of St Patrick’s Primary School, parents and friends were invited to an ‘Art Exhibition’ to view the children’s work. This was held in St Patrick’s Assembly hall on Tuesday 26th November. We were delighted that so many parents from both schools attended. Mr Noel McCann, Principal of St Patrick’s Primary, welcomed everyone and explained how Shared Education works. Miss Richmond then spoke about the Art Project, which was on the topic of Autumn.
All the children spoke a few words about their favourite part of the Art Sessions, and about their trip to the Roe Valley Country Park. Refreshments were served and then everyone went to view the beautiful art work that the children had done.
Thanks to Miss Richmond and Mrs O’Ceannubhain for their hard work, coming up with ideas and then setting up the Art Sessions and the Art Exhibition, over the past number of weeks.
During their Wheelworks ICT Session on 14th November, P6 and P7 continued working on creating their games, using Sketch Nation Create. They had to decide on their game type eg. platform, scrolling, multiplayer.
They took photos of their drawings for their:-
Character
Enemies
Power ups
Backgrounds
They then edited their photos to remove unwanted background and to enhance the colour, size etc.
They inserted their character into their games.
Over the past number of weeks, our P4 and P5 children have been enjoying the Sports Taster Sessions with P4 children from St Patrick’s Primary School. The children have had coaching on four sports:- Football/Soccer, Gaelic Football, Quick Cricket and Olympic Handball. Today was their final session and at the end they each received a medal for participating.
A huge thanks to John, Mark, Nigel and David for all their hard work coaching the children.
A sports coach from Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council will be coming into school to provide five Hockey coaching sessions for children in P4 - P7 after school. Wednesday was the first session and the children all enjoyed learning new skills.
In Part B of the Wheelworks Project, the P6 and P7 children will be working to design and make their own digital games on iPads. They will be using the Sketch Nation Create App. During their last session on 24th October, they had to decide on a theme, background, game story, players, enemies and obstacles for their games. They are looking forward to being able to play the games they will create.
