Learning about the Solar System

We have been learning about The Solar System.  We studied books, pictures and videos to explore and find out about the eight planets.  We found out some amazing facts about these planets.  For example, do you know that the rings around Saturn are made from dust and ice?  We also learnt a catchy song and dance to learn the name and order of the planets!  We then used tin foil, cotton buds, cotton pads and sponges to paint the planets.  Check out the lovely pictures on our page.

Tony the T-Rex

Meet Tony, the T-Rex who wanted to join the P3 class to learn from them.  He joins in for writing, spelling, number, play, art, music and much more.  He watches how the children work hard, share, use their amazing manners and enjoy learning new things.

Bug Club

We are very fortunate to have the Bug Club interactive reading programme for P1-3 children here in Dunclug P.S.  It is an amazing reading programme catered for each individual pupil to help consolidate and develop a range of reading skills.  Not only do the children have a variety of reading books to enjoy, there are also motivating follow up games, tasks and puzzles to complete.  We also have a monthly competition and winners are announced in assembly time to celebrate their achievements and progression! Check out the pictures below.

Music Time!

Madeline from RICH NI joins us every other week for exciting and informative music lessons.  We have been singing a variety of songs, learning beats and rhythm, playing a range of instruments, exploring the history of musical instruments, singing with Makaton signs and so much more!

 

Design and Construction

We worked in pairs  to design a unique space rocket.  We shared ideas and took turns with our partners to think of  special features for our space rockets.  We then made them using multilink cubes.  We had so much fun working together! We then completed a written review on the outcome of a space rockets and created a class book for all to read.  Check out the pictures below.
