Larrier's Activies with Parental Involvement





Last year in Larrier's the children took part in numerous activities such as Maths & Science for Fun. The parents were invited into the classroom to partake in these activities and a good time was had by all!!!!

2nd Class took part in Science for Fun in conjunction with NCI. They made Rainbow Spinners, Acrobatic Clowns to experiment with balance, Snakes to find out if hot air rises and Boats that carried passagers to discover about floating and sinking.

This was also followed by a trip in June to W5 Museum in Belfast with the boys and girls from 2nd Class, the teachers and some of the parents courtesy of the NCI. So, a big thank you to the NCI and Brigina for all their help and also to the parents who attended the Science for Fun sessions and coming on the trip.


2nd Class also took part in the Scrabble Challenge with the NCI.
