Ten P7 pupils enjoyed a morning playing hockey at the Ards and North Down Borough Council Hockey Blitz.
The team performed so well and won five out of the six matches they played. Each player worked incredibly hard, and showed great sportsmanship throughout the blitz. They were all absolutely delighted with their well-deserved medals too!
A huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents who helped with lifts and came along to support the team, it was much appreciated!
P4 have been learning about life on the homefront in their WW2 topic. They marked the end of the topic with a WW2 Day. This involved VE Day celebrations including a street party in the assembly hall, skipping games and old WW2 songs. Each child came to school dressed as an evacuee and received some sweet rations to enjoy! If you look carefully at the old black and white photos you might see some familar faces!
P3 classes from both Glencraig I.P.S and Holywood P.S. had a fantastic day out at the cinema as part of their Shared Education. The children also all received their colourful Shared Education T-shirts.
The children are already looking forward to their trips in the new year. Many thanks to The Stand Cinema for having us and to all the parent helpers who offered their assistance.
P6 have had great fun during Jingle Bell Rock! They were totally danced out by the end!
P6 enjoyed a visit from Belfast Giant defender Mark. He took time out of his busy day to call in and talk to all the pupils about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. He also answered many questions about ice hockey.
P7 pupils enjoyed meeting Quinnipiac University’s ice hockey team. We told them all about Holywood Primary School and the sports we play here and the team spoke about ice hockey and taught the pupils some new skills. The pupils asked lots of interesting questions and loved meeting the players!
Pupils supported BBC Children in Need by wearing silly hats and ties today. Everyone looked great and lots of money was raised!
Pupils wore odd socks and thought about what makes them unique for the start of Friendship Week!
P4 enjoyed a visit from Beatriz from Sentinus this week. It was great fun working together to make cars and spinning tops and getting to test these out.
P4 have finished their Space topic by making junk models that are out of this world! We have been very impressed by the creativity shown in reusing old materials to make rockets, satellites, astronauts and solar systems! These models will be on display in the school foyer from Wednesday 15th of November.
P5 went to Helen’s Bay this week to harvest pumpkins that they planted back in June in P4. We were amazed at how well they had grown and couldn’t believe the size of them! Room 7 were very lucky with the weather but unfortunately Room 8 had the opposite! Nevertheless, both classes had great fun on the farm. Thanks to Helen’s Bay Organic Farm for having us!
P6 had great fun carrying out a science experiment related to our Weather topic. Using a jar, shaving foam, water and some food dye they recreated a storm. Great fun was had all round!
Thanks so much to Alexander’s mummy who came in to talk to P1 about her job being a paediatrician. We had lots of fun and learned so much.
The P3s had lots of fun last week during Superhero Senses day! Everyone (including the teachers) dressed up as their favourite superhero and had fun completing a number of exciting experiments based on the 5 senses
The children in Room 3 have settled into school so well and are having so much fun!
We have really enjoyed our Ancient Egypt topic this term. As part of this topic we created our own ‘Shaduf’ which the Egyptians used as an irrigation tool to lift water from the River Nile. We also designed our own ‘Sarcophagus’ using chalk that were made for Pharoahs thousands of years ago.
