September 2025- As part of our WAU topic, the pupils have been looking at how unique we really are. We used magnifying glasses or the camera on the iPad to zoom in and look at our individual fingerprints. We identified marks, arches, whirls and loops and then recreate the image on paper. We used a black sharpie for the lines and different colours to fill in the spaces.
This art style is similar to that of Keith Haring’s Pop Art with the energetic lines, and vivid colours bold outlines.
19th September 2025- Today the P6 voted for and elected their peers as the school council representatives. It was a new experience for all pupils in Central visiting our polling station and posting votes into the ballot box.
P7 did a fantastic job officiating the polling station and took their roles very seriously. Well done to P7 and Mr. Brown for such a fantastic experience.

24th September- this week we have been looking at our senses (taste) we blind taste tested a range of Tayto crisps and then voted for our personal favourites. Everyone enjoyed this tasty numeracy lesson. We then transferred this data in a frequency table and then into a bar chart.

Friday 10th October- To celebrate World Mental Health Day, our class took learning outside for a refreshing ICT lesson. Pupils used iPads to scan QR codes placed around the outdoor area, each linking to a unique activity focused on a specific human body system. This interactive approach not only supported digital skills but also encouraged movement, curiosity, and teamwork—perfect for promoting wellbeing while learning. A fantastic blend of technology, health education, and outdoor exploration!

To mark World Mental Health Day, Primary 6 swapped their usual Friday test for a relaxing treat—tea, toast and biscuits! It was a lovely opportunity to slow down, chat with friends, and enjoy a mindful moment together.
Sometimes, the simplest activities can make the biggest difference in promoting wellbeing.

Their contributions show a growing awareness of historical perspectives and a strong sense of online responsibility. Well done, P6!
5th November- Primary 6 Explore the Victorian Era with Museum Artifacts
P6 pupils had a fascinating opportunity to step back in time as they examined a collection of Victorian artifacts kindly loaned by the Lisburn Linen Museum. The children were intrigued by items such as petticoats, back straighteners, hot water bottles, men’s braces, a wash dolly, and a washboard.
These everyday objects from the past sparked lively discussions and curiosity about life in Victorian times. The hands-on experience helped bring history to life and deepened pupils’ understanding of how people lived, dressed, and worked over a century ago.
Primary 6 Take Part in Anti-Bullying Workshop: “Power for Good”
Our Primary 6 pupils recently participated in an engaging Hip Psychology Anti-Bullying Workshop using Kahoot. This year’s theme, “Power for Good,” encouraged pupils to explore how their words and actions can make a positive impact on others.
To celebrate Odd Socks Day, pupils wore their brightest and most unusual socks to show that it’s great to be different! This fun activity reminded everyone that individuality should be celebrated and respected.
Through interactive activities and discussions, pupils learned about:
- The importance of kindness and respect.
- How to stand up against bullying in a safe and supportive way.
- Using their personal power to create a positive school environment.
The workshop and Odd Socks Day were fantastic opportunities for pupils to reflect on their role in promoting friendship and inclusion. Well done to all our P6 pupils for their enthusiasm and thoughtful contributions!

A huge thank you to the Linen Museum team for enriching our curriculum and bringing history to life!
25th November – Practical Maths and Victorian Cooking!
Today, our Primary 6 pupils developed their measuring skills in a hands-on activity. Using scales, they carefully weighed the correct amount of porridge oats and measured liquid with a measuring jug. This practical task was a fantastic way to link weights and measures to our mathematical learning, and the pupils really enjoyed the experience.
As part of our Victorian topic, we also made porridge – just like in Victorian times! Some children loved it, while others weren’t so sure. We explored the similarities and differences between Victorian porridge and modern-day porridge. Unlike the plain version from the past, today we added delicious toppings such as honey, chocolate or strawberry sauce, jam, or sugar. It was a fun and tasty way to bring history to life!
6th December- Spreading Christmas Cheer with Digital Creativity!
This festive season, our pupils embraced technology and creativity by using Just2Easy to design their very own digital Christmas cards. Each card was filled with bright colors, cheerful messages, and plenty of holiday spirit! Once completed, the cards were emailed to staff across the school to share joy and warm wishes. It was a wonderful way to combine digital learning with the magic of Christmas, and our pupils loved seeing their designs bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
Well done to all our talented young designers for spreading Christmas cheer in such a creative way!
8th December- P6 Pupils Explore Christmas Coding with Just2Easy!
This week, our Primary 6 pupils took part in a festive Christmas coding lesson using Just2Easy. They learned how to debug programs, change sprites, and customize backgrounds to create fun, interactive Christmas scenes. The pupils also experimented with adding moving images to bring their projects to life. Once their digital creations were complete, they proudly saved and shared their work, showcasing their coding skills and creativity. It was fantastic to see their confidence grow as they solved problems and designed unique festive animations. Well done, P6 – you’ve combined technology and Christmas cheer brilliantly!
4th December- P6 Pupils Create Stunning Victorian-Inspired Art!
Our Primary 6 pupils have been exploring the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a famous designer from the Victorian era. Inspired by his iconic stained glass windows, the children used water colours to recreate their own versions of his beautiful designs.
Once the individual pieces were complete, we assembled them together like a real stained glass window to form a vibrant and eye-catching classroom display. The result is a stunning showcase of creativity, teamwork, and appreciation for historical art styles.
Well done to all our talented artists – your work truly brightens up our school!
19th November 2025- Special Visit from the RNLI! Today in Central, we were thrilled to welcome the RNLI who spoke to all pupils about the importance of Water Safety.
Their message was clear and powerful — knowing how to stay safe around water is absolutely vital. Pupils learned practical tips and life-saving advice that could make all the difference in an emergency. Why not ask your children what they learned? You might be surprised by the knowledge they’ve brought home!
