Castledawson Primary School

Primary 5/6

Hi Everyone

Welcome to Room 4!

Mrs Nelson is the teacher and she will do her best to help everyone fulfil their potential and to get the most from this year in school with lots of learning and fun.  In school we want the boys and girls to feel happy, safe and supported to be themselves and do their best. 

We start off the year learning all about Space and our place in the universe.  We look forward to finding out lots of facts and information about the different planets and their position within the solar system.  We will learn about the different features and characteristics of each planet and about space travel and how it has evolved over time.  We will find out about some famous space explorers and astronauts as well as the first moon landings.  In November we have a trip to Armagh Planetarium planned and this is always a fun and exciting day where we make rockets and see real space suits and space rock etc.

Most of our communication with parents is via Seesaw and all news and information is shared as well as the ability to access your child's learning journal. An update of the week's learning is published on Seesaw on Sunday evening as well as information about homework.  Homework is given at the start of the week and you can complete it at a pace that suits you and your schedule as I know you are all busy little people who have busy lives outside of school! Homework (in accordance with our school Homework Policy) shouldn't take anymore than 45 minutes daily.

Our priority as always, is the happiness, safety and well-being of our pupils so we will be focusing on developing resilience and independence through daily activities that will promote well-being through healthy bodies and minds. 

We look forward to a great year in Room 4 and will keep you updated on our activities with regular posts on our website page and class Seesaw :)
