Irvinestown Primary School
Welcome to Year 5
Our teacher is Mrs Sowden.
We can't wait to share our activities and learning with you!
We have had the best time celebrating this wonderful day! We took part in the whole-school event when we gathered in the hall and each class shared their costumes and favourite books, then we took part in lots of book related activities in class including a ‘Masked Singer’ competition where pupils had to guess which teacher was reading behind their disguises! We had so much fun today!
We were delighted to host our Roots of Empathy Assembly. We were able to share what we had been doing in the programme with our family and friends as well as the school. What made it even better was baby Beau being able to join us for the event. He is our teacher this year and we are learning so much, with the help of Mrs Wright.
We were delighted to speak with the crew of the RSS Sir David Attenborough, who were in the Antarctic. The crew showed us the Antarctic landscapes, showed us the bridge on the ship and taught us what they know about sailing in that part of the world. We were able to compare the experiences that they have had to that of Sir Ernest Shackleton on his Antarctic expeditions that we have been recently studying. This was an experience that we will remember!🧊
We have been learning about instructional writing, following instructions to make 3D tornadoes, and then writing our own recipes for making chocolate apples together! We really enjoyed the rewards of our hard work!🍎
Year 5 really enjoyed sampling our home grown peppers and carrots today! We worked hard growing the peppers in Year 4 so it was very satisfying to taste the finished produce! We sampled our healthy treats with some home made houmous. It was delicious!
Year 5 are delighted to welcome Alistair from Scripture Union N.I. to deliver a series of lessons called, ‘The Amazing Jesus!’
Each Wednesday, we welcome Emily to teach us Chinese Mandarin! We really enjoy learning a new language!
