“It took 33 milk cartons on each of the lower
rows and we put it together using a glue gun
and Mrs Palmer helped us. It’s warm and cosy
with the blankets inside. We enjoyed making
the igloo and visitors into our classroom keep
admiring it.” By Hannah Brown, Danielle
Forsythe and Heidi Hutchinson P4.
A busy month for P7
P7 pupils have been very busy over the last month. They participated in the F1 in schools challenge
at the start of February. In total five teams from the school entered the competition in which they
had to design and make an F1 car, race the car on competition day and give a team presentation.
The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the competition and although there were no winners on the day they
learned a lot as commented upon by one of the judges.
P7 have also been involved in the ‘Into Industry’ project which saw them visit the CDE, Cookstown to find out about the business. The children then returned to school to create presentations which they delivered at an event in the Burnavon, Cookstown.
A further project for P7 has been their links with Bank of Ireland, Cookstown. The children had
a visit from bank personnel to their classroom when they received a lot of sound financial advice.
This was followed by a trip to the bank in Cookstown and has now prompted the class to create
their own mini business—so watch this space!!
