Class 10 have been getting fingers with their new topic work revolving around conservation. Our group have been brightening up the playground with their work. We have planted plugs, bulbs and seeds to grow a variety of herbs, vegetables, fruits and flowers, and recycled an old sand tray into a planter. Owen and Declan filled it up with compost; with an area for vegetables/fruits, flowers and a space for growing seeds in pots. We have already managed to get seeds to germinate and grow into small plants, these have included herbs and sunflowers. Ethan and Sophia have had a keen eye on measuring pots with compost and adding seeds. The whole group are involved with planting and maintaining this outdoor work area. We hope as the weather gets warmer we will see our plants and seeds grow quickly.

What a fab month we have had in Class 10. I hope that you are as proud of your children as I am, and enjoyed reading their successes in their end of year reports. They are all superstars!!!
We all had an amazing trip to White Park Bay. The behaviour and manners of all the children were exceptional; you really can take them anywhere and they always represent the school well.
With trips to the cinema, Visit from the ice cream van, Friar Tucks and Solitude Park we have been kept busy.
I have had a great Term 3 in Class 10, the children are amazing and are a credit to their parents. I am going to miss the pupils who are moving on to Class 11 but look forward to working with the new boys coming from Class 9.
It is lovely to be back in class 10. All of the children and staff have made me feel very welcome.
The big news in class 10 this month is that we have a new pupil called Richard, he has settled well into Donard School life and is enjoying meeting new friends.
We have been studying the topic ‘Volcanoes’ this month. Class 10 enjoyed researching facts about volcanoes and had great fun completing messy experiments.
We have some great events arranged, bowling at Sheepbridge to celebrate completing ‘The Big Work Challenge’, a hip hop dance-a-thon to raise funds for Paula McCann going to work in a special needs school in Uganda and then fishing with Miss Campbell. We also celebrate Jenny’s birthday.
We went on a road safety walk around town and identified different road signage and what they mean.
