P1 had a great time at Forest School today. We have been learning about where our food comes throughout our farm topic, so we thought it was the perfect time to treat ourselves to some yummy sausages. Delicious! The fire pit helped keep us warm on that windy day! 🔥😋🌭

In P1 we decided to celebrate finishing our ‘Down on the Farm’ topic this week by making some apple crumble! We enjoyed learning about the life cycle of an apple and different things we can make with apples - just in time for the Richhill Apple Harvest Fayre! What a great way to finish our farm topic by learning about the produce of County Armagh. Thanks Mrs Devlin for helping teach us and Miss Blevins how to make a crumble 😋🍏

Mrs Erskine brought in two piglets from her family farm. We learnt that a mother pig is called a sow, a father pig is called a boar and a baby pig is called a piglet. P1 asked lots of brilliant questions, such as “What do pigs eat?”, “Do you have to cut a pigs hair?”, “Where do they sleep?” 🐷🐷

P.E.

P1 have been practising running, jumping and throwing in P.E. We have been loving learning skills and playing games like Rabbits vs. Foxes. It’s so exciting when we have races or complete challenges. Team works makes the dream work! 🏃🏼‍♂️👏🏼
