Our fantastic P6/7 class had a wonderful day stepping back in time as part of our An Gorta Mór (The Great Irish Famine )topic 📚⏳🥔
First stop was Dungannon Library, where pupils researched what life was like in our local area during the Famine. Using the internet to research photographs and historical records, the class explored schooling, housing, jobs and daily life in the 1800s. It was brilliant to see everyone so engaged and asking such thoughtful questions!
We then travelled up to the Hill of The O’Neill & Ranfurly House Arts and Visitor Centre, where pupils met ‘Mrs McKinley’ and experienced a powerful, real-life introduction to what it would have been like to enter the workhouse as a child in Victorian times. Through role-play and storytelling, the children gained a deeper understanding of the hardships faced by families in our locality during this period.
It was an eye-opening and memorable experience that really brought our history topic to life. Well done P6/7 for your excellent behaviour, curiosity and thoughtful participation! 👏✨

Our amazing P2/3 boys and girls are having a fantastic time exploring their WAU topic **“Birds”** 🐦🌿
They’ve been discovering lots of different bird species 🦅🦉🕊️, learning all about where they live and how they survive. The creativity has been soaring as they make their own bird feeders 🥣🌻, design beautiful bird-inspired artwork 🎨✨, and even built large-scale nests to protect a precious egg 🪺🥚!
So many hands-on, fun-filled activities helping our young learners spread their wings and fly high with their learning! 💛📚✏️
We are so proud of their teamwork, imagination and enthusiasm! 🌟👏
