Primary 5 is the begining of a whole new Key Stage for children! We start to become more independent learners and learn how to do research for our many P5 topics. P5 is a year packed with fun activites and challenges.
We start P5 with our Animal project which will see us meet lots of animals at Belfast Zoo. We will also get to meet some animals from the zoo who will travel all the way from Belfast Zoo to Ballymacash...but don't worry, there will be no tigers or elephants! We will get the chance to do lots of research on our favourite animals and hopefully learn a lot from each other.
After Christmas we begin our Northern Ireland topic which will cover many different aspects of Northern Ireland, ending with a project.
The summer term is set aside for our Egyptian topic when we have great fun wrapping each other as mummies, learning an Egyptian dance and dressing up as Ancient Egyptians!
We hope everyone has a great year with us in P5!
Mrs Lilley and Miss Megaw.
