• Slippers in School!

  Fri 26 Oct 2018

  To raise money for Age NI we wore our slippers in school! Age NI is a charity dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life. The young who attend Dundonald Primary & Nursery School desire that the elderly will have the companionship, advice and support they need. 

  Thank you to everyone who helped us raise £860.00.

• Who, What, Where, When & Why?

  Wed 17 Oct 2018
  Primary 3 have been learning about famous people such as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham and Neil Armstrong. W5 came to our school and P3 had such an exciting time learning light and sound. They then blasted off to space, making their own plastic bottle rockets and swinging chickens! It sure sounds like a lot of fun P3!!

  

• Eco Week

  Fri 12 Oct 2018

  We care about our environment at Dundonald Primary & Nursery School and do what we can to look after it. To show that we care, the whole school was involved in a variety of activities throughout the week. The activities are listed below:

  Monday - Upcycling Junk Art.

  Tuesday - Paper Free Day.

  Wednesday - Be Bright, Be Seen.

                      - Daily Mile Challenge.

  Thursday - Power Down Day.

  Friday - Cash for Clobber.

  From recycling junk materials and making them into something wonderful, to collecting clothes for Cash for Clobber we were kept busy. We also decided not to drive to school because that's not good for the environment. Instead of driving, we put on our bright clothing and went on our bike, scooter or some people even walked. Paper free day reminded us of the importance of not wasting paper to protect the beautiful trees. To save electricity we turned off the lights, computers and Interactive Whiteboards when we didn't need them. 

  

• P5 Visit Mount Stewart

  Mon 01 Oct 2018
  It was 'Bug Day' at Mount Stewart which was great for the pupils in Primary 5 because it connected to their topic about 'Living Things'. The Bug Hunt, Pond Dipping and Bug Art activities were very exciting. It was also interesting to learn about the wildlife native to Mount Stewart. A fantastic day was had by all!
