P6 explored the density of different liquids by making lava lamps. @STEMLearningUK

P2 are enjoying exploring minibeasts in the bug investigation station. This is part of our "If you go down in the woods" thematic unit.

A much needed restock of my treat box. This term, we are focusing on good listening skills in P2 👂

So excited to be helping to redevelop our Forest School Area. I cannot stress enough the benefits of outdoor learning 🌳🌷🪱 @NIForestSchool

P2 created our very own Hansel and Gretel house as part of our "Once Upon a Time" thematic unit.

Sadly we lost a lot of our established trees at school in the recent storms. However, we are trying to save as much as we can and use them to benefit our Forest School. Today P2 created some colourful bark rubbings @NIForestSchool

Ready to recreate the Story of Jack and the Beanstalk with P2 #playbasedlearning

Looking forward to seeing how our ice paints turn out tomorrow! #forestschool

P6 are embracing the low temperatures this week with these incredible ice decorations @NIForestSchool

Snow ice cream sensory play was a huge success in P2 today #pbl

🤝🌟Twinning in Bangor & Newtownards! 🌟🤝 We’re halfway through our first cohort of the Twinning Programme, supported by the Good Relations team at @ANDborough 🙌🏻 This week, the sport-led initiative brought pupils of Kilcooley PS and Clandeboye PS together in Bangor, as they discover how sport can help deliver a positive message of unity and inclusion. Through fun physical activities that promote teamwork, pupils are breaking down barriers, building friendships, and gaining a better understanding of our similarities but also recognising our differences. 💬💛 In January, we will also be running the 6 week programme with St. Finnians PS and West Winds PS in Newtownards - and also bringing the schools together on weeks 3 & 6 🌍🤝 Stay tuned for more updates 🫶🏻 #SportChangesLife #TwinningProgramme #ArdsAndNorthDown #Sport #GoodRelations
