The teaching staff were recently trained in a new Writing scheme. We are so excited with how the children are responding to the lessons. Primary 1/2 have been working on Explanation Writing and have produced some great work so far.
P3/4 made each other pictures with positive descriptive adjectives. They thought carefully about which adjectives would best describe their friends and everyone said it made them feel ‘happy’ to read these. They also nominated each other for acts of kindness.
P2/3 had a super week taking part in lots of brilliant Number activities. Lots of fun and lots of learning.
P5/6 have been very busy solving, thinking and using their startegies to complete lots of different Number activities this week.
During Number Week, Primary 3/4 played lots of Number games, made place value robots and did a Kahoot quiz.
As part of our Transition work with Primary 7 and our Action Mental Health programme, the children had great fun this afternoon creating Ninja stress balls.

We were delighted to have the Education Minister, Michelle McIlveen MLA, visit Groggan on Wedensday 20th October. She visited each classroom and spent time with the children. She particularly enjoyed her visit to Outdoor Classroom and watching our Primary 1 pupils in their 'Welly Wednesday' session.
Grace, Isla and Amelie McKee presented her with flowers.
Thank you to the staff who worked so hard to prepare for her visit and to the children, who as always, were the stars today!
This star had a great weekend, he won his heat and final in the last round of the Ulster Kart Club. This means he has finished 3rd over all in the championship in Northern Ireland, a big accomplishment as he is only 6 competing against most of his class who are 8 years old!
