Shared Education
P1&2 have been enjoying getting to know boys and girls from St Joseph's P.S. better through shared education sessions based on the theme of 'The Farm'. So far we have learnt about Harvest, Farm Safety with HSENI, had a visit from the vet and Phils petting Farm, explored the life cycle of a hen, made our own butter, discovered the journey of bread and made straw dolls.
Celebrations
Come celebtrate with us in term 2. Through our PLay Based Learning we have looked at familiar celebrations such as birthdays, weddings and Christmas.
Down on The Farm
In the first half of term 1 we have enjoyed learning and exploring all things to do with the farm in our play based learning.
