  This week it was International Week. We spoke in different languages, learnt about different cultures and best of all we dressed up in clothing from different countries. At Dundonald Primary School we love to celebrate diversity and learn about the amazing world we live in.  

  

• Yale University Ice Hockey

  Thu 22 Nov 2018

  As part of the Friendship Four Festival of STEM, our P6 pupils have enjoyed visits from the W5 Education Team and members of Belfast Giants. The purpose of the programme was to improve the pupils’ understanding of STEM subjects, making healthy choices and physical well-being.

  The final part of the programme was a visit to W5 and an invitation to the hockey matches. For the fifth time in American Ice Hockey history, 4 college team games were played in Belfast. We were delighted to welcome 13 of the team & coaches from Yale University, Connecticut. On Friday 23 November, 111 families were able to attend the ice hockey games at the SSE Arena. We are grateful to Mr Shane Johnston for his sponsorship of this trip.

• P7 Travel Back in Time!

  Wed 14 Nov 2018
  Primary 7 had a Victorian day where they learnt about Victorian toys and games, clothes and school-life. They then created a short animation based on life in a coal mine. These activities made all aware of what life was like many years ago. What a different world we live in now!

  

• LEST WE FORGET

  Thu 08 Nov 2018

  As the world reflects on the centenary of  World War I ending in 1918 our pupils and staff have been creating our own remembrance art installation. Our "flow of poppies", one created by each child, is currently on display in the reception area. Each poppy represents those young men from Dundonald who lost their lives and did not get to fulfil their lives ambitions.

   

   

  They shall grow not old,

  As we that are left grow old,

  Age shall not weary them,

  Nor the years condemn.

  At the going down of the sun,

  And in the morning

  We will remember them.
